A bold post with a heartfelt purpose
Curtis, 67, is known for her candid and expressive presence on social media, but even fans were surprised to see the Hollywood icon flashing what she jokingly called her “money makers.” In the caption, she explained that Gyllenhaal had sent her the lingerie as part of a collaboration tied to The Bride! and that wearing it felt like the most fitting way to show her support while riding through New York City in a limo.
She praised the film as “audacious, bold, punk, feminist, opera‑like,” expressing immense pride in her goddaughter’s creative vision.

The Bride! — a new take on a classic
Gyllenhaal’s film, premiering this Friday, reimagines Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The story follows Dr. Euphronious (played by Annette Bening), who resurrects a murdered young woman to serve as a companion for Frankenstein’s monster, portrayed by Christian Bale. The cast also includes Jessie Buckley, Peter Sarsgaard, and Jake Gyllenhaal — Curtis’ godson.
