Jamie Lee Curtis, the acclaimed actress known for her roles in numerous films, recently shared a striking Instagram post that showcased both her sense of humour and her support for family. The 67-year-old Oscar winner posted a cheeky photo on March 2, displaying a lace bra gifted by her goddaughter, Maggie Gyllenhaal, in a show of enthusiasm for Gyllenhaal’s upcoming film, *The Bride!*.

In the post, Curtis can be seen smiling playfully from the backseat of a car, offering a glimpse of the lingerie while expressing her admiration for the film. She wrote, “My goddaughter Maggie Gyllenhaal has made *The Bride!* an audacious, bold, punk, feminist, opera of a movie and she sent me some lingerie, which is one of the partnerships with Victoria’s Secret. I wore it today to support my money makers as well as her movie.”

Curtis further elaborated on her supportive gesture, stating, “I couldn’t figure out how to show my support, so this was the best I could do in a limo driving around New York City. Proud as f— of her.” This candid and humorous approach not only highlights their close relationship but also emphasizes Curtis’s pride in Gyllenhaal’s artistic achievements.
*The Bride!* is set to debut in cinemas on March 6 and is described as an innovative adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic novel, *Frankenstein*. This film represents Gyllenhaal’s second feature directorial effort, following her successful debut with *The Lost Daughter*, which garnered critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Curtis and Gyllenhaal share a long-standing friendship, with Curtis serving not only as a mentor but also as a godmother to both Maggie and her brother, Jake Gyllenhaal. The actress has frequently expressed admiration for the siblings’ growth as artists. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the two families even lived in close proximity, strengthening their bond.
Reflecting on her relationship with the Gyllenhaal siblings, Curtis remarked in a 2025 Instagram post, “Getting to watch people that you meet when they’re very young develop into artists is a particular thrill.” Additionally, she spoke about her pride in having known them throughout their formative years, comparing it to her experiences with her own parents during her early career in the film industry.
Curtis has consistently championed Maggie Gyllenhaal’s work, including during the 2022 Academy Awards, where she publicly praised Gyllenhaal following her nomination for *The Lost Daughter*. “Proud and impressed pride is something when you know somebody as a child,” Curtis expressed. “But when you are impressed by them, when you respect them so much for their choices, for their ability, that’s a real thrill for me.”
In her Instagram caption, Curtis also took the opportunity to promote her own upcoming project. She mentioned her role in a new thriller series titled *Scarpetta*, in which she stars alongside Nicole Kidman. The series, set to premiere on Amazon Prime on March 11, focuses on a forensic pathologist, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, played by Kidman, while Curtis portrays her older sister, Dorothy Farinelli.
“The bra is also very Dorothy Farinelli, which is why I’m in New York,” she noted, seamlessly intertwining her personal support for Gyllenhaal with her promotional activities for *Scarpetta*. The announcement has generated considerable excitement among fans eager to see Curtis back on screen.
As the world anticipates the release of both *The Bride!* and *Scarpetta*, Curtis’s posts on social media remind fans not only of her enduring career in the film industry but also of the importance of nurturing artistic talent within families. As one of Hollywood’s beloved figures, Curtis’s genuine support and warm-hearted enthusiasm continue to resonate, making her a cherished presence both on and off screen.
