After days of tweets and comments about her outfit and millions of views across TikTok and Instagram, she decided to respond to the wave of attention.

ā€œI LOVE the fact that the LAST photograph of me as TESS taken backstage in costume from my surprise appearance at @elcapitanthtre to supportĀ #freakierfriday has gotten more attention than any other since the announcement post with @lindsaylohan that sparked the movie getting made!ā€Ā she said in a new Instagram post.

ā€œHappy to help spread the joy that our movie shares!ā€

The comments are full of people hyping her up.

ā€œI can only hope to be this sexy when I’m older,ā€ one person said.

ā€œThe real ones always knew,ā€ said another.

The Oscar-winning actress originally wore the outfit to surprise people at a Tess lookalike screening of Freakier Friday at El Captain Theatre in Los Angeles. She also uploaded a bunch of TikToks in her Tess-inspired costume.

People are praising Jamie Lee Curtis for going against stereotypes of what older women are expected to wear. In a recent interview with The Guardian, she spoke about her struggles finding her style in the public eye.

ā€œThere are many, many actresses who love dressing up, who love clothes, who love fashion, who love being a model. I. Hate. It. I feel like I am having to wrestle with your idea of me versus my idea of me. Because I’ve worked hard to establish who I am, and I don’t want you to. I have struggled with it my whole life.ā€

Jamie Lee has spoken out against the plastic surgery industry. She has described herself as an ā€œadvocateā€ for young women in Hollywood who feel pressure to get work done.
