Fans found the stunning images inspiring and empowering.
Throughout Jamie Lee Curtis’ 44-year career, she’s had her fair share of stripped-down, on-camera moments. (Hello, True Lies strip tease and that one Trading Places scene.) And at 63 (now 64), she was not through with them. In an empowering shoot for The New York Times, the actress bared all—and poses in fishnets and a black bathing suit—to celebrate all she’s accomplished (most recently, the premiere of Halloween Ends) and finding her freedom as an artist.
Curtis, who told her Instagram followers she, herself, is a photographer, was thrilled to be Ryan Pfluger’s subject. In one of the photos, she posed seemingly nude behind a giant rock. In others, she lounged in a pool, wearing a black, deep-V one-piece and the aforementioned fishnet tights.
The photos are jaw-dropping, but, even as the glowing center of attention, it would be over-zealous of Curtis to give props to anyone but her capturer. “My whole life. I’ve collected photographs and supported artists,” she wrote, sharing the shots on Instagram. “I’ve been following the work of [Pfluger] for a long, long time. I’ve seen the beautiful portraiture and incredible saturation of color and light and honesty in his work. I was so excited to collaborate with him on portraits for The New York Times which dropped today. This color work is beautiful and I am honored to have been in front of his lens and eye and heart!”
In another share, Curtis leaned over the pool’s edge and smizes into the camera. “Oh @ryanpfluger what you do with natural light is mind-blowing!” she wrote.
The Freaky Friday star may be too humble to toot her own modeling horn, but fans and followers sure weren’t afraid to. “KA BOOM 🔥,” Sharon Stone commented. “Stunning!! And powerful,” a fan added. “Why haven’t we been wearing fishnets under swimwear before now?!!! 😍😍😍,” someone else wrote.
In The New York Times interview, Curtis reflected on how the older she gets, the more liberated she feels creatively. And after being typecast and exploited as the hyper-sexualized, young, attractive woman for much of her career, it’s a welcome feeling.
Now, with roles like the older, more layered Laurie Strode in Halloween Ends and tax auditor Deirdre Beaubeirdra in Everything Everywhere All at Once (for whom she intentionally did not conceal her stomach), Curtis feels a new sense of autonomy in her work.
“I said I would like to not be sucking my stomach in for the entire movie, because I’m a 64-year-old woman,” she said, referring to Beaubeirdra. “All I’m interested in is freedom as a performer, and I don’t get that opportunity very often. But the times I’ve been able to be free, I’m on fire.”
That makes her decision to pose in a bathing suit now all the more poignant. She is reclaiming her art—and her body—as her own.
“I’m now in this beautiful new wave of my work,” she told The Times,“which is transformative.”
And, as always, we can’t wait to see what’s next.
