Halle Bailey Channels Catwoman In New Post After Fans Keep Mixing Up Her And Halle Berry

Halle Bailey has been on the receiving end of some major criticism and negativity since being cast as Disney’s live-action Ariel, but The Little Mermaid star stepped in a completely different role post Halloween when she channeled her inner Catwoman on Instagram. In doing so, she’s seemingly leaning into the fact that some confuse her with Catwoman’s Halle Berry. The two stars are couple generations apart, but their names are still very similar and easily mixed up when typing them. (There are definitely worse things in the world than being mixed up with an absolute icon, though.)

Halle Bailey inspired awe when she revealed her Avatar-inspired Halloween costume last weekend, but it seems as though the holiday isn’t quite over where she is concerned. Bailey posted an Instagram story of herself in some pretty familiar leather cat ears, and we can’t help but think it’s a response and nod to Halle Berry, who’s arguably one of the most beloved actresses to have graced the role and has openly shown her support for Bailey. Take a look at Bailey in the costume below:

While her Catwoman look isn’t nearly as intricate as her Avatar costume or Halle Berry’s film-ready, OG version of the look, we can’t deny that it looks good on the young star. It’s also worth mentioning that the white stitching is also reminiscent of the style that Michelle Pfeiffer’s version of the DC antihero possessed. We shouldn’t be surprised by the singer’s ability to channel an icon character. Because seeing her transform into The Little Mermaid’s Ariel in the recently released first trailer was nothing short of magical.
