Sharon Stone looked stunning as she posed for a new magazine shoot on Friday, with one of her poses being a nod to her iconic Basic Instinct interrogation scene.
The actress, 64, stunned in a youthful look, donning a black ruffled dress and fishnet tights as she stretched her legs as she sat on a stool.
Sharon played the femme fatale Catherine Tramell in Paul Verhoeven’s 1992 thriller, where in the most famous scenes she wore a white mini dress and crossed and untied her legs while speaking to the police.

The 1992 film starred Michael Douglas as Nick Curran, a disgraced homicide detective in San Francisco, and Sharon Stone as Catherine, a wealthy heiress who, according to Curran, killed her ex-rock star boyfriend.
Another of the photos for Harper’s Bazaar Spain showed her dressed in a colorful fur coat and sporting bright eye makeup.
She looked fabulous in the black dress she beamed as she beamed at the camera, completing the look with lace-up boots and a cowboy hat.

Her leg-crossing scene in the hit 1992 film Basic Instinct is one of the most iconic in modern cinema history.
In the famous interrogation scene in Basic Instinct, Sharon’s character Catherine was interrogated by police, including Michael Douglas.
Amid the bombardment of questions, Catherine distracts them when she unties the crosses of her legs, leaving the men confused because she was underwear-free at the time.

The scene was highly controversial at the time and has now gone down in history as one of the most infamous in movie history.
Sharon has previously described the scene as one that “changed my life.”
She said: ‘Several years ago I was on a sound stage and my director said, ‘Can you give me your knickers, because we see them in the scene and you shouldn’t be wearing knickers, but we won’t see anything’.
‘I said, ‘sure.’ I didn’t know this moment would change my life.’

In the past, the Academy Award-nominated actress has maintained that she was “cheated” into exposing herself in front of the cameras.
In her memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, Sharon described how she furiously punched her director Paul Verhoeven and walked away from a preview of the erotic thriller after discovering that his assurances that it would not appear on screen had been a lie and that the audiences could – as she put it – “look all the way to Nebraska.”
For his part, Verhoeven has vehemently rejected her claims that she was surprised in the legs-crossing scene.
He said, “Any actress knows what she’s going to see if you ask her to take off her underwear and point the camera at it.”
But the Hollywood veteran was also adamant that she didn’t regret making the film.
‘Regret is like farts, you can’t get them back. Once they’re out, it stinks and it’s gone,” she joked before.
