Catwoman returns! Halle Berry brings her old role back to life in stunning black leather dress at the ESPY Awards

Catwoman returns! Halle Berry brings her old role back to life in stunning black leather dress at the ESPY Awards

She caused a stir in leather when she starred as Catwoman.
And Halle Berry was clearly channelling her signature role when she wore a racy black leather dress to the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The saucy 48-year-old looked like the cat that got the cream as she flashed her fantastic legs thanks to her daringly high-cut hemline.

The Oscar-winning actress' unusual leather and lace number was tight in all the right places.
And she completed her winning look with a pair of towering laced stiletto heels, which highlighted her terrifically toned calves and thighs.

But she was not just there to turn heads on the red carpet, as she later presented the Pat Tillman Award For Service to former Notre Dame women's basketball player turned soldier Danielle Green, who lost her lower left arm and hand in a grenade attack in Iraq back in 2004.
The veteran has since got a master’s degree in counselling, and helps other former military personal re-adjust to civilian life.

Halle's turn as iconic Batman character Catwoman in the eponymous 2004 film was quite the flop, garnering just $82 million from a $100 million budget. 
But it has become something of a kitsch classic despite, or perhaps because of, being what critics described as a 'laughable action thriller.'
Memorable quotes from Halle in the film include, 'the day I died was the day I started to live,' 'somebody killed me and I've got to find out who and why,' and the evergreen, 'cats come when they feel like it, not when they're told.'
Being surrounded by sports stars will not have been much of a novelty for Halle, who was previously married to baseball hunk David Justice from 1993 until 1997.

They split up in acrimonious circumstances, with the actress seeking a restraining order against the former Cleveland Indians slugger.
Halle has had another of her troublesome exes on her mind this week however.
For her child support trial against Gabriel Aubry was slated to begin in Los Angeles on Tuesday after she filed court documents late last year asking a judge to reduce the amount of money she is paying.
The Extant star is coughing up the cash to help the Canadian model care for their seven-year-old daughter Nahla, and would reportedly like it reduced from $16,000 to approximately $3,800 per month.

Halle Berry will reportedly face her ex-boyfriend in court on Tuesday.
The 48-year-old star's child support trial against Gabriel Aubry is set to begin in Los Angeles, after she filed court documents late last year asking a judge to reduce the amount of money she is paying.

The Oscar-winning star previously indicated she is happy to pay for Gabriel to properly look after Nahla, but believes he is using the money to avoid work and he needs to get a job, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
The former couple currently have joint custody of the seven-year-old. 
A document submitted to the court by the 48-year-old beauty and her lawyer last November allegedly stated: 'There is no case, no law, no logic that says a healthy, active man gets to simply live off child support that the wealthier mother earns.'

She also accused him of spending most of the money on his own needs, including $700 on fitness, just short of $1,000 on clothing and nearly $2,000 on car expenses amongst others.
The 38-year-old model is fighting the request because he claims he has struggled to find work since Halle's now husband Olivier Martinez beat him up in 2012.
The former couple, who split in 2010 after four years together, currently share joint custody of Nahla.

A judge first ordered the actress to pay Gabriel almost $200,000 a year, plus tuition money, to support their daughter in May 2014.
Halle also has 21-month-old son Maceo with French actor Olivier.
She currently stars in CBS sci-fi series Extant, which is currently in it's second season.

The film, directed by Luis Preto, is centred around a mother who will stop at nothing to recover her kidnapped son.
Dana Gourrier, Malea Rose, Kristin McKenzie, Lucky Johnson, Christopher Berry and Erica Curtis all star. Kidnap is set for release on October 9
