This year, South African star Tyla wowed her fans by channelling Halle Berry’s iconic Sharon Stone character from The Flintstones.
It didn’t take long for the original Catwoman herself, Halle Berry, to notice—and to show her excitement.
HALLE BERRY AND TYLA
Halle Berry couldn’t contain her pride in seeing her characters brought to life by a new generation of stars like Tyla, according to Bella Naija.
On social media, Tyla shared photos of herself dressed as the unforgettable Stone character. This was a role Berry played in the 1994 live-action adaptation of The Flintstones.
TYLA’S STYLE DETAILS
The costume was on point, with Tyla donning the iconic tiger-print skirt set. This was reminiscent of Halle Berry’s outfit from the film.
To complete the tribute, Tyla captioned her post with a line inspired by the movie. “Well, I’ve been a very bad girl, but you have to admit… I was very verrrrry good at it.”
Fans were quick to praise Tyla’s clever homage.
HALLE BERRY AND THE YOUNG STARS OF HOLLYWOOD
Halle Berry herself joined in the celebration, taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share her delight, according to IOL.
She wrote, “The girls know how to make my day.” Berry later added that seeing her characters so brilliantly reimagined was “the best compliment ever.”
But Tyla wasn’t the only star to bring Halle Berry’s film characters back to life this Halloween season.
American singer Coi Leray transformed into Berry’s Catwoman character, Patience Phillips. She brought back memories of the actress’s daring role in the 2004 film.
HALLE AND HALLE
Meanwhile, Halle Bailey, star of The Little Mermaid, appeared as Berry’s fierce Jinx character from the James Bond film Die Another Day.
All three tributes have made waves on social media, with each post gathering thousands of likes and supportive comments.
TYLA, THE SOUTH AFRICAN STYLE
In response, Berry made her appreciation known for each tribute.
“Thank you all for the love! I’m so proud of these girls,” she wrote. The actress expressed her excitement over the shared connection between herself and the new generation of talent.
She went on to say, “And they all crushed it,” praising the efforts the stars put into each look.
Back in South Africa, fans of Tyla celebrated her look, with many praising her for representing both local talent and global icons like Berry.
TYLA’S FANS REACT
One fan commented, “You nailed it, Tyla! So proud to see our own taking on Hollywood legends.” Another remarked, “You look fabulous and fierce – pure class!”
While fans continue to marvel at Tyla’s ability to blend Hollywood glamour with her own South African flair, Berry is clearly overjoyed by the recognition and tribute to her work.
She called Tyla’s homage one of the best moments she’s had online. She shared how deeply she appreciates the love and effort each of these stars poured into their costumes.
CATWOMAN ANNIVERSARY
Tyla’s Flintstones costume, and Berry’s warm reaction, come at a significant moment, according to The Independent.
Earlier this year, Berry celebrated the 20th anniversary of Catwoman with a bold photoshoot that reminded fans of her enduring charisma and fearless style.
HALLOWEEN SEASON
As Halloween season kicks into full gear, it’s no wonder that so many stars are taking inspiration from her legendary characters.
One thing is clear: Tyla’s look wasn’t just a costume; it was a celebration.
With Halloween underway, these tributes to Halle Berry remind fans around the world of how her roles have become embedded in pop culture—and now, thanks to Tyla, in South African style as well.
