Rumer Willis, 36, pays homage to her mother Demi Moore by recreating a memorable moment from the 1996 film Striptease. In a recent photoshoot, Willis donned the glittering gold bikini that Moore famously wore, which is set to be auctioned on April 5 at Studio Auctions, with bidding starting at $5,000.
This nostalgic tribute is particularly meaningful as Willis appeared in the original film as Moore’s onscreen daughter, Angela. Now, nearly 30 years later, she’s bringing the iconic look back to life.
In the photoshoot, Willis embraces the sultry aesthetic with sky-high black stilettos and dark sunglasses, opting for a natural look with minimal makeup and softly parted blonde hair.
The original film was groundbreaking for Moore, who played Erin, a former FBI secretary turned exotic dancer fighting for custody of her child. At the time of filming, Moore was 36 – the same age as her daughter is now.
While Striptease initially sparked controversy due to Moore’s topless scenes, it has since become a cult classic. In a recent interview, Moore reflected on the film’s impact, noting the challenges she faced in breaking industry barriers.
“If anything in this industry has ever been stacked against me, it was having those two films come out at the same time,” Moore said. “That moment was powerful because it wasn’t just about me; it was about changing the playing field for all women.”
Willis has followed in her mother’s footsteps, starring in films like Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and The House Bunny. She is also a mother to her daughter Louetta, who will turn two in April.
The auction of the iconic bikini offers fans a chance to own a piece of cinema history, celebrating both Moore’s groundbreaking performance and the enduring connection between mother and daughter.
