Zendaya gave Halloween 2026 a major dose of early-2000s fashion nostalgia. The actress recreated one of Halle Berry’s most memorable red-carpet looks, bringing a celebrated Lanvin outfit back more than two decades after its debut.
Her longtime stylist, Law Roach, shared photos and video of the transformation on Instagram today. The look closely matched the yellow printed bikini top and coordinating low-rise flared pants Berry wore to the New York premiere of X-Men in July 2000.
The recreation quickly drew attention for its close resemblance to the original. However, Zendaya also added a few personal touches that made the tribute her own.
Zendaya brings back an iconic Halle Berry look
For the Halloween transformation, Zendaya wore the two-piece Lanvin ensemble with pointed-toe nude heels and purple-tinted rimless aviator sunglasses. She also styled her short hair in a lightly spiked pixie cut, completing the throwback look.
Berry’s original appearance featured the same yellow and brown printed outfit. She paired it with round yellow-tinted sunglasses, diamond stud earrings and a decorative belly chain resting across her hips.
The outfit became a memorable fashion moment from the early 2000s. Now, Zendaya has introduced it to a new generation through her Halloween tribute.
Her pixie cut made the resemblance even stronger
Zendaya’s short hairstyle added another layer to the transformation. She first revealed the dramatic cut at the 2026 Emmy Awards in September, where she wore a plunging silver Prada gown decorated with shimmering details.
The hairstyle immediately reminded many fans of Berry. The actress had previously received praise for her own short hairstyles, making the comparison especially noticeable.
Zendaya continued wearing the cropped style at Paris Fashion Week in October. There, she paired casual low-rise jeans with a cropped white top, a sheer ruffled jacket and pointed heels.

Halle Berry has already praised Zendaya
The admiration between the two actresses goes beyond fashion. Berry previously expressed support for Zendaya and welcomed the idea of working together someday.
Berry also praised Zendaya’s influence on her generation and appreciated the tribute to her style. Their connection made the Halloween recreation more meaningful than a simple celebrity costume.
Roach, meanwhile, has continued to shape Zendaya’s fashion appearances throughout the year. He recently reminded fans that the actress has had a busy schedule and deserves time to rest.
Zendaya has more fashion moments ahead
Although the Halloween tribute delivered another standout look, Zendaya’s fashion calendar is not finished. She is preparing for the promotional tour for Dune: Part Three, which is scheduled to arrive in theaters in December.
Roach is expected to join her for the press tour. That means fans could see more carefully styled appearances from the pair before the year ends.
For now, Zendaya’s Halloween tribute has brought a defining Halle Berry fashion moment back into the conversation. The recreation also shows how an iconic look can remain relevant across generations.
