Halle Berry poses topless with kittens to celebrate “Catwoman” 20th anniversary: 'Meow!'

Berry previously spoke to EW for an oral history interview celebrating two decades of Patience Phillips "finally getting her due."

Halle Berry has slinked out of her clothes and into a celebration of Catwoman's 20th anniversary, with the Oscar-winning actress posing topless with her newly adopted kittens for a fun series of photos honoring the DC Comics superhero movie's two-decade legacy.

"Sometimes I’m good," the 57-year-old wrote Tuesday on X (formerly Twitter) alongside a photo of herself holding two of her cats, referencing her character's closing monologue from the 2004 blockbuster that, at the time, flopped at the box office and with critics.

The movie has since found a cult audience of fans online in the streaming era. "It’s been 20 years since I had the honor of bringing this iconic character to life. THANK YOU to the fans who have embraced Catwoman (even if it was a little delayed ). Patience Phillips is finally getting her due. Meow!"

In a separate post on Instagram featuring more photos of Berry and her pets, she again voiced admiration for the project and its resurged popularity.

"She will always be close to my heart and I will forever be Patience Phillips aka CATWOMAN!" Berry said in the caption of the post.

Berry previously exclusively spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the film in an oral history interview tied to the film's 20th birthday, where she and director Pitof, producer Denise Di Novi, and writer John Brancato reflected on the wild gestation of the project and its peculiar legacy.

From breaking down her epic Razzies speech for Worst Actress — which, in 2005, she showed up to accept while holding her Oscar in one hand — to reacting to the backlash she received for her sexy Catwoman suit, Berry opened up about the pain and triumph of making the movie in the early aughts.

"I didn’t love [the backlash]. Being a Black woman, I’m used to carrying negativity on my back, fighting, being a fish swimming upstream by myself. I’m used to defying stereotypes and making a way out of no way. I didn’t want to be casual about it, but I went and collected that Razzie, laughed at myself, and kept it moving," Berry told EW. "It didn’t derail me because I’ve fought as a Black woman my whole life. A little bad publicity about a movie? I didn’t love it, but it wasn’t going to stop my world or derail me from doing what I love to do."

She also confirmed that, after adopting the cats she found in her yard earlier this year, she's now a full-on cat lady, too.

“I became a cat lover because of [the movie],” the self-proclaimed, lifelong dog person told EW. "I’m a Catwoman through and through because of that experience and those relationships,” she continued. “That experience changed me.”

Elsewhere in EW's oral history, Gotham stars Camren Bicondova and Lili Simmons cited Berry as one of their influences in Hollywood, even before they both signed on to portray Selina Kyle — a.k.a. Catwoman — in the Fox drama series.

"I think seeing her as Catwoman brought a strength to young girls around the world in knowing that they, too, could be action heroes — not just men," Simmons said, acknowledging Berry's boundary-pushing role as the first Black woman to lead a solo DC superhero movie.

Added Bicondova: "Halle exudes femininity through her strength and class. She carries curiosity and perseverance in her eyes. She’s one who takes her job seriously and does it well. But, more importantly, she broke down doors so others could walk through them — and did that with style and grace. To me, it’s what made her perfect to play Catwoman. Just like Catwoman has been that girl, Halle Berry has been that woman and forever will be."
