A video of Rumer Willis wearing the iconic gold bikini from Striptease has sparked nostalgia and discussion among fans.
The bikini, famously worn by Demi Moore in the 1996 film, is now up for auction. Rumer, 36, is selling various personal items, with part of the proceeds benefiting a dog rescue in Idaho. The auction will be held at Studio Auctions on April 5th, with bids for the bikini starting at $5,000.
For those unfamiliar, Rumer Willis grew up in Hailey, Idaho, far from Hollywood’s spotlight. Despite her rural upbringing, her latest appearance in the gold bikini reminds many of her connection to the entertainment world.
What makes this moment special is that Rumer is now the same age her mother was when she played Erin Grant in Striptease. As a child, Rumer even appeared in the film alongside her mother. Now, her decision to wear the famous outfit feels like a tribute to their shared history.
Demi Moore made headlines in 1996 when she earned $12.5 million for Striptease, a record-breaking amount for an actress at the time. However, the film was widely criticized, and Moore later spoke about the backlash.
“People claimed I was only paid that much because I was playing a stripper,” Moore recalled. “It was tough, but I knew breaking barriers comes with criticism.”
Fans reacted strongly to Rumer’s recent photos, with some drawing comparisons between her and her mother.
One person commented, “Rumer looks good in the bikini, but Demi had a different kind of beauty.” Others noted her resemblance to Bruce Willis, saying, “She has her dad’s face—he’s handsome, but Demi’s beauty was unique.”
Others praised Rumer, writing, “She has a natural body. Demi had enhancements. I think Rumer wore it better.”
Meanwhile, Demi’s daughters have been celebrating their mother’s recent success. In January 2025, Demi won a Golden Globe, with Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout cheering her on.
Despite some online negativity, the family remains united, proving that their bond is stronger than any criticism.
