Jamie Lee Curtis posted a photo showing off her “money makers” in a lacy bra to support goddaughter Maggie Gyllenhaal’s new movie.
“Jamie Lee Curtis with her tits out in support of The Bride! That’s a godmother for you,” Maggie told PEOPLE while reacting to the gesture at the film’s U.S. premiere on March 3.
The Bride! writer‑director added that Curtis — who is also godmother to Jake Gyllenhaal — “has been a support to me for so many years in so many ways.”
Maggie Gyllenhaal has a “fairy godmother.” Her name is Jamie Lee Curtis.
On March 2, Curtis, 67, posed in a lacy bra on Instagram in “support” of both her “money makers” and her goddaughter’s new film, The Bride! The following day, the movie — which Maggie, 48, wrote and directed — premiered in the United States, and she reacted to Curtis’ bold show of support on the red carpet.
“Jamie Lee Curtis with her tits out in support of The Bride! That’s a godmother for you,” Maggie told PEOPLE at the March 3 premiere at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater in New York City. “That’s a fairy godmother if there ever was one.”
Asked what it means to have Curtis in her corner, the Oscar‑nominated filmmaker said, “Jamie has been a support to me for so many years in so many ways.”
That includes her involvement in Maggie’s latest project — a new twist on Frankenstein featuring a Bonnie‑and‑Clyde‑style romance between Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale.
“She saw a very early cut of this movie, and we had a really great dinner when I was visiting in L.A., talked through all sorts of things,” Maggie said. “Her mind is absolutely in this movie, as well as other women in my life who have been supporters of mine but also role models to me.”
Curtis has shared several posts supporting The Bride!, as has Maggie’s brother Jake, 45, who appears in the film alongside Maggie’s husband, Peter Sarsgaard, and their daughters Ramona, 19, and Gloria, 13.
In the caption of her racy Instagram post, Curtis wrote, “My goddaughter @mgyllenhaal has made @thebridemovie an audacious, bold, punk, feminist, opera of a movie and she sent me some lingerie, which is one of the partnerships with @victoriassecret and I wore it today to support my money makers as well as her movie and couldn’t figure out how to show her my support so this was the best I could do in a limo driving around New York City.”
“Proud as f— of her,” Curtis added.
Maggie reposted the photo on Instagram, writing, “Fairy Godmother 🔥🔥🔥.”
At the U.S. premiere, Maggie said the entire cast — including Annette Bening, Penélope Cruz, Julianne Hough and John Magaro — was “in love.”
“Some movies have this special quality where everyone’s kind of in love. It happens rarely, but this was one of them,” she told PEOPLE. “Every single day was really full of love and wildness.”
Billed as “a bold, iconoclastic take on one of the world’s most compelling stories,” The Bride! is set in the 1930s and follows the lonely, undead Frank (Bale), who asks scientist Dr. Euphronious (Bening) to create a companion for him.
“The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride (Buckley) is born,” an official synopsis reads. “What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!”
The Bride! arrives in theaters on March 6.
