Jamie Lee Curtis has always known how to get people to pay attention, whether she’s holding a knife in a Halloween movie or making a funny comment in a press interview.
The Oscar winner is still showing that her star power (and elegance) can make headlines just as much as her movies. The actress was recently the subject of unexpected social media discussion, but this time it wasn’t because of her acting skills or a strong opinion on Hollywood. It was all about what she wore, though.
Curtis has talked openly about getting older, beauty standards, and how much she hates Hollywood’s fixation with youth and looks, especially when it comes to cosmetic surgery. Fans love her because she is honest, and even something as simple as her choice of clothes can set the internet on fire.
Curtis stepped out last week in what she called a costume for actress character Tess Coleman from Freaky Friday.

She went to a surprise event at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles to promote the film’s rerelease. She wore a gray top with a low neckline and a belt, with safety pins around the neckline. People talked a lot about her bold look on Instagram.
Fans quickly filled the comments section, with many saying they were “distracted” by her curves or just didn’t know what to say. Some people quipped that the footage looked so good that it may have been made by AI. One rather rude commenter brought up her long-running Activia yogurt advertising and said, “I didn’t know Activia did all that.” Another person said that Curtis has always had that captivating presence, and they brought out old clips of her film and TV roles to show that she’s been a stunner for decades.
Curtis winked back, never one to pass up a chance to have fun. She laughed off the attention by posting a peace-sign selfie in the same clothes. I’m glad to help spread the joy that our movie brings! She said that her Freakier Friday outfit seemed to be gaining more attention online than anything else she’d shared in months.

Fans appreciate it when she reacts like this: conscious of herself, funny, and based on the wider picture. Even though her dress went viral, Curtis still thinks it’s all about the work and making sure the joy of storytelling comes through above everything else.
