Jamie Lee Curtis has done it again—this time in a jaw-dropping transformation as Annette, a former Vegas showgirl now working as a cocktail waitress, in the upcoming film The Last Showgirl. In a newly released shot from the movie, the 65-year-old actress looks worlds away from her usual self, donning a sun-baked tan, bright orange-red hair, and a sparkly, orange waitress uniform that could only belong in a Las Vegas casino. Her look is completed by smoky eye makeup, silver lip gloss, and a bedazzled hat—a true homage to the grit and glam of Sin City.
In The Last Showgirl , which also stars Pamela Anderson and is directed by Gia Coppola, Jamie’s character embodies the vibrant yet weathered spirit of a woman who’s spent her life under neon lights and sequins. Talking to Entertainment Weekly about her role, Jamie shared how she wanted Annette’s look to reflect the hard life of someone who’s lived in the Vegas spotlight for years. “There’s that term, especially for women, that says they look like they were ‘rode hard and put away wet,’” Jamie said candidly.
“I wanted Annette’s look to show what years in the sun would do to someone.” Pamela, who stars as the lead showgirl in the film, was impressed with Jamie’s commitment to her character. “During the table read, Jamie just kept getting more orange, with this frosty pink lipstick—it was incredible,” she laughed, recalling the first time she saw her co-star in character.
The film, set for release.
