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.

Her 2004 incarnation as the feline heroine may have flopped in comparison to Michelle Pfeiffer’s 1992 version.

But when it comes to her off-screen antics Halle Berry is the ultimate Catwoman.

The actress looked relieved to return her moggie to the veterinarian surgery in Culver City, California on Wednesday for a check up.

The 46-year-old was spotted rushing the ginger and white cat to the same surgery last Wednesday, and was most likely following up on the visit.

She dressed smartly for the jaunt in a warm coat and baker hat.

The star teamed her clothing with slouchy boots and the fresh-faced star appeared to have eschewed all make up for the errand.

Responsible owner: Despite her starry status, Halle accompanied her pet to the appointment herself which will have made it much less traumatic for the cat

Halle's seemed much happier and alert for the trip.

The screen star looked concerned however, showing she's as responsible a pet owner as she is a mother.

Hopefully she can now rest easy knowing her four-year-old girl Nahla won’t have to come home from school and worry about the health of her beloved moggy.

Something else precious: Halle flashed her gorgeous emerald engagement ring from Olivier Martinez, it's estimated to be worth over $100,000

The screen star – who is engaged to French actor Olivier Martinez – is known for her role in the bombed motion picture.

The Oscar-winner declared during her joke Razzie Awards speech in 2005: ‘I want to thank Warner Bros. for casting me in this piece-of-s**t, god-awful movie.’

The Golden Raspberry awards, whose Web site touts the event as ‘the foremost authority on all things that suck on the big screen,’ has mocked everyone from Madonna to Sylvester Stallone to Mariah Carey over the years.

The 46-year-old didn’t even have time to attend to her appearance before taking her white and ginger-haired feline to see medical experts.

She simply slipped on a cap over her cropped hair and donned jeans and T-shirt for the outing.

British ferry captain crashed into fishing boat and killed skipper ‘because crew were chatting about Halle Berry as Catwoman’

Captain said Hollywood star was 'jumping everywhere like a cat' in a 'sexy outfit' moments before the fatal collision in thick fog off Jersey
Crew failed to spot the 30ft fishing vessel on TWO radar screens and had the fog horn turned off

Halle Berry in Catwoman: The captain said she was 'wearing a sexy outfit' in the moments before the crash

Distraction: Halle Berry as she appears in Catwoman and the reason a passenger ferry captain's mind was not on his job, says a report

A British ferry crashed into a French fishing boat killing its skipper because the crew were discussing how 'sexy' Halle Berry looked in the movie Catwoman.

The French fishing vessel was sliced in two by the force of the collision in thick fog between St Helier in Jersey and St Malo, France, on March 28 this year.

A damning report into the crash has revealed that the 56-year-old French captain of the high-speed Condor Vitesse catamaran joked with colleagues about the Hollywood actress as the passenger vessel travelled across the channel at full speed in poor visibility.

The investigation also disclosed that the captain and crew failed to spot the boat on two separate radar screens.

And French marine accident investigators also discovered that the ferry's fog horn had been turned off because it was thought that the sound of the vessel's engines would be enough to warn craft in the surrounding area.

A transcript of the conversation on the bridge of the Condor Vitesse showed that crew had no idea that danger was imminent.

Minutes before the fatal impact with the whelk fishing boat Les Marquises, the ferry's unnamed master said to colleagues: 'Yesterday evening I watched Catwoman on the TV. I'm an idiot because after that I slept very badly.'

The first officer replied: 'Catwoman?'

The master said: 'She was jumping from everywhere like a cat. She is very beautiful. She was wearing sexy outfit.'

The conversation turned went on to talk about drug testing and how long various substances remained in the body.

They only learned there was a problem when a leak alarm on the ferry went off.

The 30ft boat was broken in two in the collision, sending her three crew into the water. Her captain Philippe Claude Lesaulnier, 42, was killed.

The master then announced to the 194 passengers on board: 'Your attention please, this is an announcement from the bridge, we have collided a foreign body in the water, perhaps a little piece of wood or a pot buoy, we'll investigate and we'll inform you.'

A passenger, however, had seen the collision from the deck and informed the crew that he thought they'd collided with a fishing boat.

Ship wrecked: The French whelk fishing boat Les Marquises was torn in two as the Condor Vitesse travelled at top speed in thick fog between St Helier, Jersey, and St Malo, France, earlier this year

Sunk: The crew of the Condor Vitesse catamaran did not spot the smaller boat approaching on the radar

Shattered: Skipper Philippe Claude Lesaulnier perished when his boat was rammed by the British based passenger ferry

The report by the French investigation body BEAmer, found the ferry was travelling at 37 knots, almost top speed for the vessel, and had not strengthened look-outs in the fog.

The report stated: 'In the wheelhouse almost continuous talking without any link to the watch-keeping, maintained an atmosphere not compatible with the necessary concentration to conduct a high speed craft in the fog.'

Poor visibility: The 40 mile stretch of sea between St. Helier, Jersey, and Saint Malo, France, was shrouded in thick fog the day of the collision

It added: 'This behaviour, as well as the visibility contributed to the accident.

'When Condor Vitesse approached the Minquiers waters, both officers did not detect two vessel echoes ahead on starboard, the first was a ship that would be passing a hundred metres on starboard, the second was Les Marquises.'

In its findings the report also explained what happened in the final moments on the fishing boat before the collision.

Out of the fog one of the deck hands 'suddenly heard an engine noise very close' and alerted his colleague who shouted at the skipper 'Full astern, full astern'.

The same deckhand watched in horror as the massive ferry appeared quickly from the fog on a collision course with the wheelhouse of the smaller boat.

Simon Edsell, managing director of Condor Ferries, based in Poole, Dorset, said: 'Condor Ferries welcomes the publication of the BEAmer report into this this tragic accident.'

He said the master and first officer had been relieved of their duties following the crash and that other investigations were continuing.
