The viral-worthy encounter unfolded on the red carpet on October 29 in Los Angeles, when one Hollywood icon met another Hollywood icon from the next generation.
Sydney, 28, was greeted with awe and warmth from the Oscar winner, who pointed up and down at her before giving her a big hug.

The stars posed together for photos before Jamie whispered something in the younger actress’s ear.
Social media exploded with opinions, with one user commenting: “that hug just powered the whole event instantly.”
“Let the jealousy begin,” said another.
Another wrote, “I remember Jamie rocking a few similar outfits back in the day.”
“Jamie Lee Curtis used to be the bombshell,” another said.
“This duo could easily melt every camera lens there,” one fan said online

Netizens also sarcastically made guesses at what the Freaky Friday star told the Emmy-nominated actress.
“I have a great rack too,” one commented, while a second quipped, “She whispered ‘where’s your br*?’”
“Jamie’s Like—‘been there, done that.’” a third said. “I busted my b**bs out in the 80s in Trading Places.”

Decades back, Jamie’s nickname in Hollywood was “The Body” for her appearances in movies like Trading Places, A Fish Called Wanda, and Perfect.
“There was a time when I was in exploitation movies, but that my biggest roles were to do with my physicality, my body, my se***lity,” she told the Irish Times in 2021.
She said she has never been “a women-in-film darling.”
“I was in horror movies, which subjugate and often objectify women in a se***lised and violent way,” she said elsewhere in the interview. “Even though in those movies I’m playing the girl who is intelligent, who fights back and is basically chaste.”

Back in 2010, the Hollywood star addressed whether she enjoyed being known as “The Body” in the industry.
“No, no. I don’t think anyone likes to be known for something that’s exterior,” she told CBS News. “I don’t believe it. I don’t think any woman wants to be known for being beautiful or b**ty. I think you want to be known for who you are.”

Following the Variety’s 2025 Power of Women event this week, Jamie shared a post praising Sydney for the “impact” she has made on younger generations by talking about violence at home and violence against women.
It’s “something that has plagued generations of women into the front of our consciousness,” she wrote on Instagram. “That is true power. The power of exposure. The power of presence. The power of advocacy.”

Sydney spoke to Variety for their Power of Women cover story, which was published on October 27.
She revealed that people have been scrutinizing her looks since she was a teenager.
“I have very strong eyebrow muscles,” she said. “And I had someone tell me to fix my face or else I’m not going to make it. I should get Botox. I was 16!”

Now that her place in Hollywood is being cemented, she addressed the fact that some viewers were increasingly seeing her as a “s** symbol.”
“I play a lot of very divisive characters, and I think that a lot of people think they know me, but they don’t,” she said during the interview.

“So when people think, ‘Ah, she’s a s** symbol,’ or ‘She’s leaning into that,’ I’m like, ‘No, I just feel good and I’m doing it for myself and I feel strong,’” she continued.
She said she hoped to inspire other women to be “confident” and just “flaunt what they got and feel good.”
“You shouldn’t have to apologize or hide or cover up in any room,” she added.
“People need to quit clutching their pearls. She looks great,” one commented on Sydney’s look

The time when Jamie Lee Curtis took the power back was years ago, in a bedroom scene with John Cleese when told to get her kit off, she suggested that John should do the unclothed bit instead.

... And when his friends, who actually owned the apartment Cleese and Curtis were in, walked in the door and saw him, he covered his junk with one hand and waved sheepishly at them with the other with a nonchalant smile saying, "Hi!!!" I loved that movie, especially Ken's final revenge against Otto.

Of course she seeks attention, she's an actor. I can't think of a more attention-seeking profession.

I thought women were allowed to express themselves however they wanted. I guess not all women are allowed to have opinions, beliefs, or the right to freedom of expression. Only the ones that are ideologically acceptable to the internet sisterhood.
