Halle Berry says the catsuit is the cat's pajamas. For Berry, who has been single since splitting from husband Eric Benet, wearing her own sassy catsuit was "the highlight of the whole movie experience. It was empowering. Besides the obvious sex appeal, it really takes a certain level of confidence to pull it off. "We all have physical flaws, but you can't hide them when you're wearing it."It's the lucky guy who'll see the skimpy movie costume, which Berry kept "mainly because I didn't want it to end up on eBay," she jokes.Berry, who has been lauded for her sense of style, also is promoting fashion inspired by her film. Michael Kors, Jonathan Saunders, Esteban Cortazar, Elie Saab, Ducati and Vivienne Westwood have whipped up catsuits that go on display in the Henri Bendel department store for one week, starting today. The six one-of-a-kind getups aren't up for grabs and ultimately will go back to Warner Bros. But fans can feed their inner cats from bags, boots and tops inspired by the movie, including a CC California long-sleeved top emblazoned with a Catwoman silhouette ($50-plus) and an Isabella Fiore cartoon Catwoman bag (about $300 and up). Part of the proceeds go to the Jenesse Center, which helps battered women.So will the cacophony spark a whole new catsuit craze? "They've always been in fashion, but they come and go," Berry says. "They're not the most practical thing to go around wearing." Frisky movie maneuvers aside, the Academy Award winner says she isn't dating "anyone really seriously.""I'm going to date around for a while," Berry says. "I'm enjoying being single, and I don't plan on getting too serious."
