Jamie Lee Curtis Responds to Memes About Her Cleavage-Baring Outfit at Freakier Friday Screening

Jamie Lee Curtis addresses the viral memes about her cleavage-baring outfit at a Freakier Friday event, sharing her thoughts on the playful online reaction.

Jamie Lee Curtis is no stranger to going viral, and this time, it’s for a playful reason. Following her recent appearance at a Freakier Friday screening in Los Angeles on August 15, Curtis’s cleavage-baring outfit quickly became the subject of cheeky memes and NSFW comments across social media. The actress, 66, responded to the viral moment with her signature humor and grace.

The Outfit and the Reaction

At the event, Curtis surprised fans with an outfit inspired by her character Tess Coleman from the Freakier Friday sequel, Freakier Friday, which was released on August 8. Her attention-grabbing ensemble, a cleavage-baring blazer paired with a gray bob wig, got more attention than she expected. So much so, one fan apologized in the comments of Disney Studios’ Instagram post for being “distracted” by her look.

The reaction was swift, with a flurry of cheeky memes making their way across social media, poking fun at her bold choice of attire. But Curtis, never one to shy away from a laugh, responded with a playful message of her own.

Jamie Lee Curtis’ Response

On August 20, Curtis took to Instagram to share her thoughts, writing: “I 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!”

She continued with a heartfelt message: “Happy to help spread the joy that our movie serves!” With this lighthearted reply, Curtis showed she was more than happy to embrace the playful online chatter surrounding her appearance.

The Look and the Movie

Curtis’s outfit perfectly complemented the Freakier Friday sequel, where she reprised her role as Tess. Her costume, inspired by her character’s fashionable step-granddaughter Lily, was complete with a similar banged gray bob wig, reminiscent of Tess’s look in the movie. However, unlike the character’s over-the-top prosthetic lips from the film, Curtis opted for a more natural look.

The Freakier Friday sequel, which came 22 years after the original film, reunited Curtis with Lindsay Lohan, who reprised her role as Anna. The movie also introduced new characters, including Harper (Julia Butters) and Lily (Sophia Hammons), who play the frenemies-turned-stepsisters in the story.

A Special Connection with Lindsay Lohan

Speaking about her long-standing friendship with Lohan, Curtis shared that their bond goes beyond the silver screen. “If I tell her something, it’s gonna stay with her,” Curtis explained. “We’ve both been through hard things, ’cause we’re alive and life is hard. And we’re not dead yet.” She added that their connection is rare and special, a friendship that’s endured for over two decades.
