Halle Berry recently shared a photo of herself wearing a strappy orange bikini, and she looks just like she did in her iconic scene in the 2002 James Bond film "Die Another Day."

In the movie, Berry walked out of the ocean wearing an orange bikini with a chunky white belt and holster.

On Monday, she posted a nearly identical look on her Instagram page. In the photo, she wore a $25 neon-orange bikini as a nod to the original scene.

Berry covered part of her face with a straw hat in the photo, writing in the caption: "Never been a shady beach."

Many fans reacted to the 53-year-old star's stunning physique.

One user commented: "Still phenomenally beautiful."

"This is how fine I'm trying to be at 50," another user wrote of Berry's bikini moment.

As Insider previously reported, Berry has been known to follow the keto diet. Her personal trainer revealed that her diet consists of fat, protein, vegetables, and fruit.

Berry made history as the first heroic Black Bond Girl character when she starred in 'Die Another Day'

Prior to Berry's appearance in "Die Another Day" in 2002, the James Bond movie franchise featured three Black Bond Girls: actress Grace Jones in the 1985 movie "A View to Kill," Gloria Hendry in "Live and Let Die" in 1973, and Trina Parks in "Diamonds Are Forever" in 1971.

In the 2002 film, Berry played NSA operative Jinx Johnson, who became Bond's partner and love interest. In 2003, she was nominated for Best Actress by the BET Awards for the role. Berry's role was considered the first time a Black Bond Girl played a heroine in the James Bond franchise.
