Jamie Lee Curtis has been nothing but proud and publicly supportive ever since her daughter Ruby came out as trans to the world in 2021. And next, she’ll be officiating Ruby’s wedding — and doing it in full costume, too.
The Halloween star stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live this week to chat about her new movie, but also took a brief interlude to discuss her daughter’s upcoming nuptials.
“It is a cosplay wedding,” she explained. “That means you wear a costume, you dress up as something… So everybody at the wedding is going to be in costume and I will be in a costume to officiate the wedding.”
Ruby’s wedding is set to take place in Curtis’s backyard, and the actress also dished on what she would be wearing to the event.
“Ruby and Cynthia picked my costume; her name is Jaina Proudmoore,” she said, referencing a character from the computer game World of Warcraft. “So I went on Etsy and wrote ‘Jaina Proudmoore costume,’ and up came a woman, had the costume, I said great. We exchanged communication. I paid her a nice sum of money for this and all is going great.”
But a plot twist came a few weeks ago when Curtis got an email saying there may be a delay in shipment. The costume, it turns out, is coming from Russia.
Still, Curtis seems optimistic that she’ll get it by May for the wedding, but either way, it’s a wedding she’s clearly looking forward to being a part of.
“Both of my children will have been married in my backyard, which brings me to tears,” she said. “It’s so much more meaningful.”
