Jamie Lee Curtis’ assets caused quite a stir online — and now she’s addressing all the commotion.
On Aug. 8, Curtis, alongside Lindsay Lohan, gave fans a dose of nostalgia with “Freakier Friday,” a continuation of the 2003 Disney comedy “Freaky Friday,” which also starred the duo. But while fans enjoyed a walk down memory lane, it was Curtis’ eye-catching figure that stole the spotlight.
In the film, Curtis plays Tess Coleman — and on Aug. 15, at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles, attendees of the “Freakier Friday” screening were encouraged to come dressed in their best impersonation of the character.
“THE ULTIMATE OF HONORS, the SINCEREST form of flattery,” Curtis wrote in an Aug. 16 post on Instagram, where she’s posing with some of the attendees, decked out in their finery.”There was a #dressliketess GATHERING @elcapitanthtre and I the LUCKY LOS ANGELINA to be a PART OF THE LOVEFEST for the O.G.”
And though most understood the assignment, it was the actor’s wardrobe choice that caught the internet’s eye. Curtis appeared in an outfit from the film’s sequel: a grey, off-the-shoulder pantsuit that gave us a peek at her leading ladies, which quickly became the main characters of the interwebs after she posted a TIKTOK video urging folks to see the film.
“Where did those come from?” one user asked. Many others commented that Curtis “has always been that girl.”
She responded to the sudden attention in her own Instagram post on Wednesday.
“LOVE the fact that the LAST photograph of me as TESS taken backstage in costume from my surprise appearance at @elcapitanthtre to support #freakierfriday has gotten more attention than any other since the announcement post with @lindsaylohan that sparked the movie getting made! HAPPY TO HELP SPREAD THE JOY THAT OUR MOVIE SERVES!” she wrote.
