Jamie Lee Curtis made a striking statement on March 2 while riding in a limousine through New York City, revealing a black lace bra as a unique way to express support. This moment involved the actress showcasing the lingerie gifted by her goddaughter, Maggie Gyllenhaal, connecting her personal style to a meaningful cause.
The Freaky Friday star posted a sultry selfie from the back of the limo, baring the plunging black lace lingerie underneath a printed shirt. Curtis maintained her iconic silver pixie haircut and complemented the look with wire-rimmed glasses and a simple pendant necklace, capturing attention while promoting a message of solidarity.
Supporting Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Bold Film Project
In her Instagram caption, Curtis explained that the lingerie came as a thoughtful gift from Maggie Gyllenhaal, director of The Lost Daughter and The Bride. The Victoria’s Secret bra she wore represents a collaboration tied to the film’s promotion.
“My goddaughter @mgyllenhaal has made @thebridemovie an audacious, bold, punk, feminist, opera of a movie and she sent me some lingerie, which is one of the partnerships with @victoriassecret.” – Jamie Lee Curtis
The actress described the lingerie as not only a fashion statement but a symbol of backing the work of Maggie and her film, affectionately referring to her body as “money makers.” The candid post conveyed pride and enthusiasm for her goddaughter’s artistic achievements.
“I wore it today to support my money makers as well as her movie,”
“couldn’t figure out how to show her my support so this was the best I could do in a limo driving around New York City. Proud as fuck of her.” – Jamie Lee Curtis
The film The Bride features a strong cast including Jake Gyllenhaal, Maggie’s younger brother, alongside Christian Bale and Penélope Cruz, contributing to the buzz around the project.
Jamie Lee Curtis’ Upcoming Role and Style Transformation
This lingerie-clad moment also tied into Curtis’s preparations for her new television series Scarpetta, where she stars opposite Nicole Kidman. The actress revealed that the photo was a form of method dressing for her role as Dorothy Farinelli, indicating how deeply she immerses herself in character through fashion choices.
The transformation for Scarpetta surprised fans, as Curtis shifted from her trademark silver pixie cut to platinum blonde curls paired with a daring red catsuit. Amazon Prime Video shared a preview of this look in November, showcasing the dramatic contrast between Curtis’s bold new style and Kidman’s more reserved portrayal of Kay Scarpetta, which features classic auburn waves and elegant attire.
