Catwoman is marking its 20th anniversary this year, and Halle Berry has been honoring it by reflecting on the film. Now, she's celebrating in a different way by taking to Instagram to post a set of images of her disrobing to take some pics with her cats while wearing a fun pointed mask.

Halle Berry's $ Instagram$  post featured five images of her holding two black cats while she wore a black and silver pointed mask, black bikini bottoms and no top, take a look:

She also posted a throwback photo of her in the classic Catwoman costume. Plus, in the caption, she noted that the two "black beauties" featured in the shoot are rescue cats who showed up in her yard looking for their mom. 

Personally, I love that she took the opportunity to celebrate Catwoman's anniversary by also highlighting her own cats and the importance of rescuing animals.

People really loved the set of images too, as the comments made abundantly clear. Here are some of the highlights:

Overall, there's a lot of love for Berry, her cats, this photoshoot and the notion that there should be another Catwoman movie.

Over the last 20 years, the discourse surrounding Catwoman has been complex. As Berry said about her Razzie acceptance speech while chatting with EW:

I don’t think it’s a God-awful film, but I was at the Razzies, so I had to do what they do; I shit on it because they shit on it!

While she is on the list of actors who have admitted their movie was bad, she also clearly loves this one too. Among the actresses to play Catwoman, Berry is the only one to play her in a standalone movie, and clearly it’s made a positive impact on her fans. 

Now, considering this is a monumental anniversary, Berry is obviously still in fabulous shape, as seen in this post, and she’s openly reflecting on the role. So, the question becomes: Would she be down to play her again?

The answer is yes. A couple of years ago, Berry said she was open to revisiting Catwoman. Plus, with the uptick in actors coming back to their characters years later – see Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine and Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick, among others – I could totally see her donning the catsuit again if the project is right. 

Overall, I love that Halle Berry celebrated Catwoman’s anniversary in such a big way. She’s known for making bold fashion choices, and going topless for this photoshoot added to that catalog. Plus the mask and her cats made it all so fun, and a fantastic way to celebrate her film.

At this point, there are no plans for the actress to return to the role, however, it’s been lovely to see her celebrate it! So, while we spend some time paying homage to the 20th anniversary of Catwoman, make sure to also get acquainted with DC’s upcoming movies to see when the legendary character will make her return to the screen.
