Rumer Willis Wears Mom Demi Moore’s Iconic Tiny Sequin Bikini

Nearly 30 years after Demi Moore starred in “Striptease,” her daughter Rumer Willis is stepping into one of the film’s most iconic wardrobe pieces!

The 36-year-old actress and singer recently donned the gold sequin bikini that her mother famously wore in the 1996 movie, bringing the look back in a touching full-circle moment.

Adding even more sentimentality, Rumer posed for a photo in the legendary bikini while holding her two-year-old daughter, Louetta Isley Thomas Willis, making it a three-generation tribute.

Rumer, who was just seven years old when she appeared alongside her mother in “Striptease,” now finds herself at the same age Moore was when she starred in the film. The gold sequined bikini, as seen in a photo obtained by Page Six, was a standout costume in the movie, symbolizing Moore’s character’s journey as a mother fighting for custody.

The intimate throwback moment is not just a nod to fashion nostalgia but also serves as a reclamation of the narrative around “Striptease,” a film that was harshly criticized at the time, despite its cultural impact.

Over the years, Moore has spoken candidly about the backlash she faced after starring in the film. While Striptease was a box office success, it was met with criticism, especially due to its portrayal of female empowerment and sexuality.

“Well, with Striptease, it was as if I had betrayed women, and with G.I. Jane, it was as if I had betrayed men,” Moore explained on The New York Times’ podcast The Interview. She noted that the film became a target for critics, particularly because it featured stripping as a central theme.

Despite the negativity, Moore’s role in the film was groundbreaking—especially because it earned her a then-unprecedented $12.5 million salary, making her the highest-paid actress in Hollywood at the time.

In a separate interview with Variety, Moore emphasized that her record-breaking paycheck was about more than just personal success.

“[It was] so powerful for me because it wasn’t just about me; it was about changing the playing field for all women,” Moore explained. However, she noted that the media quickly downplayed her achievement by linking it solely to the nature of her role.

“The narrative quickly became ‘Well, she’s only getting paid that number because she’s playing a stripper,’” she recalled. “But at the same time, I understood that anybody who steps out first is going to take the hit.”

While Moore has reclaimed her narrative over the years, she remains a Hollywood icon with a strong presence on the red carpet. At the 2025 Oscars on March 2, she dazzled in a custom Giorgio Armani Privé gown, proving she’s still every bit the superstar.

Although she didn’t take home the Best Actress trophy for her role in “The Substance,” Moore’s biggest fans—her daughters Tallulah, Rumer, and Scout Willis—were by her side, proving that family remains her biggest win.

Moore’s daughters showed their support in coordinating outfits that reflected quiet luxury with a hint of Old Hollywood glamour.

Tallulah embraced menswear chic with a cream silk blazer and wide-legged pants, paired with a plunging gray top, white ballet flats, and black sunglasses indoors—a subtle nod to her mother’s androgynous style moments.

Meanwhile, Rumer opted for a classic black gown featuring a plunging neckline and asymmetrical off-the-shoulder detail, with her blonde hair styled in elegant curls.

As for Scout, she brought a romantic touch in a peach silk ruched dress, accessorized with a diamond tennis necklace and soft waves.

The sisters’ coordinated yet individual styles perfectly complemented their mother’s show-stopping Oscars moment, proving that the Willis-Moore legacy continues to shine—both on and off the screen.
