Sharon Stone has recreated her iconic interrogation scene from the erotic classic Basic Instinct in a sexy lingerie shoot.
The actress, 66, took to Instagram to share a jaw-dropping image clad in red lace lingerie, 32 years after she famously starred as the sexy killer Catherine Tramell.
The famous interrogation scene in Basic Instinct saw Sharon's character Catherine quizzed by police, including Michael Douglas.
Amid the bombardment of questions, Catherine distracts them when she uncrosses the recrosses her legs, leaving the men flustered seeing as she was underwear-free at the time.
The scene was highly controversial at the time, and now has gone down as one of the most infamous in movie history.

And the actress proudly showcased her incredible figure in the sexy lingerie from Bloomers Intimate, posing with her legs crossed in an ode to the legendary scene.
Despite the moment turning Sharon into an overnight sensation, the Academy Award nominee has maintained in the past that she was 'tricked' into exposing herself for the cameras.
In her memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, Sharon described how she slapped her director Paul Verhoeven in fury and walked out of a preview of the erotic thriller after discovering his assurances that it wouldn't show up on screen had been a lie and that the audience could — as she put it — 'see all the way to Nebraska'.
For his part, Verhoeven has vehemently dismissed her claims that she was taken by surprise in the leg-crossing scene.
He said: 'Any actress knows what she's going to see if you ask her to take off her underwear and point there with the camera.'
But the Hollywood veteran has also been adamant she didn't have any regrets about making the film.
'Regrets are like farts, you can't get them back. Once they're out, there's stinky and gone,' she quipped previously.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday, Sharon claimed the $18 million she had accrued after more than two decades in the film industry evaporated during the years she was unable to work due to brain damage from the stroke.
The 1992 film starred Michael Douglas as Nick Curran, a disgraced homicide detective and Sharon Stone as Catherine, a wealthy heiress who Curran believes has murdered her ex

It comes after Sharon claimed she lost £18million when she was left unable to work after suffering a near-fatal stroke in 2001
Stone — who has controversially claimed that Kevin Spacey's banishment from Hollywood was partially inspired by homophobia — attributed her loss of millions to people around her who allegedly mismanaged her money as she struggled to regain basic functions, like the ability to read, which she lost 'for a couple of years'.
In total, Stone said it took her seven years to mostly recover from the effects of the life-threatening stroke, which doctors gave her just one in 100 odds of surviving.
'People took advantage of me over that [recovery] time,' Stone claimed. 'I had $18 million saved because of all my success, but when I got back into my bank account, it was all gone.'
She described the surreal feeling of having little to her name once she was competent enough to take over her finances.
'My refrigerator, my phone — everything was in other people’s names,' she revealed.
Stone then clarified: 'I had zero money.'
It's not clear what Stone had to pay in medical bills and years of therapies, but she described the sever symptoms caused by her subarachnoid haemorrhage.
'I bled into my brain for nine days, so my brain was shoved to the front of my face,' she explained, adding, 'It wasn’t positioned in my head where it was before.'
The physical change to her brain meant that 'everything changed'.
'My sense of smell, my sight, my touch. I couldn’t read for a couple of years,' the Oscar nominee admitted. 'Things were stretched and I was seeing color patterns.
'A lot of people thought I was going to die,' she added.
Beyond the changes to her senses, Stone agreed 'one hundred percent' that the stroke changed how she thinks.
'A Buddhist monk told me that I had been reincarnated into my same body,' she shared. 'I had a death experience and then they brought me back.'
