Halle Berry just proved to us that she has always had the goods, based on a recent throwback instagram post.

The 50-year-old actress (yes, 50!) shared a photo from her beauty pageant days back in the ‘80s. Rocking a “USA” bodysuit and 80s curls, she doesn’t look much different today than she did in her 20s!

The photo is from Berry’s time competing in the 1986 Miss World competition, where she was the first Black woman to ever represent the USA in the pageant.

“Where it all began. #FBF #1986#Miss World,” she captioned the photo.

Berry had an illustrious pageant career. She won the Miss Teen Ohio Pageant at just 18, and later that year was named Miss Teen All-American, according to People.com.  In 1986, she won the Miss Ohio title before coming in first runner-up at the Miss USA pageant. The Miss World pageant soon followed.
