Jamie Lee Curtis drew attention online after sharing a playful post connected to her latest film appearance. The actress showcased a striking look that quickly went viral and sparked a wave of fan reactions across social media.
Here’s what we know about her outfit, the context behind it, and the response it generated.
Jamie Lee Curtis talks about Freakier Friday video
Jamie Lee Curtis wore a low-cut, off-the-shoulder gray ensemble while promoting the Disney sequel.
Curtis later joked that the look got “more attention than any” of her Instagram posts since her reunion photo with Lindsay Lohan. She added in her caption, “HAPPY TO HELP SPREAD THE JOY THAT OUR MOVIE SERVES!”
Curtis said she wore the belted, safety-pinned outfit as Tess Coleman for a surprise appearance at the El Capitan Theatre. Freakier Friday, the sequel to 2003’s Freaky Friday, premiered on August 8. The film reunited her with Lohan after more than 20 years. The 66-year-old flashed a peace sign in her post, keeping the tone playful.
Fans on social media commented on the outfit with remarks ranging from being “distracted” to not having “anything appropriate to say.” Some joked that the viral video “was AI for a second,” while others referenced her past yogurt commercials with quips such as, “I didn’t know Activia did all that.” Several users resurfaced clips from her earlier films to highlight that she has “always been a stunner.”
Curtis’ comments come after she previously spoke about beauty standards and aging in Hollywood. In July, she told The Guardian that there has been a “disfigurement of generations of predominantly women” due to cosmetic surgery, calling it a “genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex.” She reinforced her stance with a symbolic photoshoot posing with wax lips.
The actress admitted she had plastic surgery at 25 after a cinematographer criticized her look during Perfect. In a May 60 Minutes interview, she said she “regretted it immediately and [has] kind of sort of regretted it since.”
She clarified in July that she does not comment on others’ choices, including speculation surrounding her co-star Lindsay Lohan. Curtis said, “It’s not my job to give my opinion.”
