Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, Ignites Buzz over Her Gray Pantsuit as She Promotes New 'Freakier Friday' Movie - Photos

The Oscar-winning actress drew widespread attention with a daring outfit during a surprise promotional appearance.

On August 15, 2025, Jamie Lee Curtis made an unexpected visit to a "Freakier Friday" screening at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, dressed in a look that instantly caught the internet's eye. Within hours, social media feeds were filled with reactions, speculations, and bold questions about her appearance and what it signaled.

This event was part of a nostalgia-driven promotional campaign for the sequel to Curtis's more than 20-year-old "Freaky Friday," which also stars Lindsay Lohan and Chad Michael Murray and has included many interactive moments with fans.

For the occasion, the 66-year-old wore a punk-inspired gray pantsuit with an asymmetrical jacket designed to sit off one shoulder and dip low across her chest.

The look, reminiscent of a piece she wore in the new movie, was embellished with silver studs and hardware accents, including a large safety pin on the lapel. She completed the outfit with matching gray trousers and a black leather belt cinched at the waist.

On her own Instagram, Curtis posted a selfie from earlier that day and wrote in the caption, "MOMMY is in the FREAKIER HOUSE OF THE MOUSE @elcapitanthtre FOR A FREAKIER FRIDAY NIGHT SCREENING! I definitely had to dress up a little. @disneystudios."

A closer look at her outfit appeared in one reel posted on August 16 in collaboration with the Disney Studios Instagram account, where the veteran actress sat interview-style in front of a camera and encouraged audiences to see the new movie and to enjoy it just as much as the first one.

In another video, she stood in her pantsuit in front of a group of women who wore floral print dresses and thigh-high boots, in a direct nod to her character, Tess Coleman, from the original film.

Despite the clear focus on getting people to go see the movie, her outfit's bold cut immediately drew the most attention online. One Redditor wrote, "Wow look at that cleavage."

Another asked, "Did she get implants?" and one commenter noted, "Someone's had a job done." Similarly, a fourth person asked, "Did she get a boob job?"

Others focused less on speculation and more on reaction, with one person writing, "Forgive me, I'm distracted 😳," and another adding, "OMG."

Some praised her appearance, as one Reddit comment read, "She's really beautiful." Others disapproved, with one calling it "Embarrassing."

This was not the only time Curtis sparked attention online recently. As previously reported, she turned heads at the 2025 Las Culturistas Culture Awards, not for her outfit but for her loud, unapologetic three-word reaction to Allison Janney's daring pantsless look.

The moment, which was captured in the second slide of Janney's Instagram post, has since gone viral. Curtis, attending the event hosted by Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, shouted the remark, "Go [expletive] yourself," with gleeful admiration, sparking laughter from Janney.

"What a thrill to attend the @lasculturistas awards! Thank you @fayedunaway and @mattrogerstho and for my favorite red carpet shout out @jamieleecurtis I adore you! Also @sethmcfarlane for my favorite animated shout out [sic]😂," Janney captioned her carousel of event photos and videos.

Curtis's response was directed at Janney's high-fashion, bold ensemble, featuring an asymmetrical black tuxedo blazer with one sheer leg and shimmering tights. The structured-meets-sultry look drew attention on the carpet, pairing classic tailoring with edgy glamour.

But not everyone was charmed by the exchange or the outfit. Online reactions ranged from praise to sharp criticism, with many chiming in under the Instagram and Facebook posts sharing the video.

On Instagram, one supporter cheered, "JLC with that real friend support!! 👏🔥 Bravo to you and those gams! ❤️" Another fan shared a heartfelt story, "I want that JLC audio as my ringtone! 2 of my favorite women. @jamieleecurtis you inspired me a few years ago to start making sure to tell random women how fabulous and amazing they are, whenever I get a chance [sic]."

Others focused on Janney's look itself, not all favorably. "Really what is she wearing. She is old enough to know better [sic]," one comment read. Another gushed, "Jamie Lee's response to seeing Queen Janney's whole outfit was THE best response! We are all feeling the same 🤩."

On Facebook, reactions were more divided. "That's a pretty bold move," one Facebooker commented, while another dismissed Curtis altogether, "She's just brutal. Can't stand her."

One commenter questioned Curtis's tone, asking, "What's her problem?" while someone else criticized Janney's choice, "I just hope she didn't. And Allison really went to far with this outfit [sic]." Still another wrote, "She has no filter....a loud mouth."
