“I was so happy to celebrate my denim sister @americaferrer. She’s the heart and soul of @barbiethemovie because she’s the heart and soul of everything she’s a part of,” Blake wrote, in her caption. “I’ve known her for 20 years. Since I was 16, I’ve watched her live, grow, soar, fall, make, break, push, fight, win, create, forge, disrupt, way make, lead, lead, lead.”
The Gossip Girl alum also referenced America’s iconic monologue from Barbie, in which her character addressed the crushing societal pressures that women face.
“That speech she gives as Gloria felt as close to real as anything I’ve ever seen on screen. Because that’s who she is,” Blake added. “She’s spectacular, passionate, inspiring and full of heart in her own life. I can’t wait to watch her sweep awards up across her living room floor. No one deserves it more … for a lifetime of brilliant work. It’s one of my life’s honors to witness her show so many women not only what’s possible, but HOW it’s done. I love you, sister. Always.”
All four actresses posed for photos and selfies together, spurring fans to hope that this signaled the cast’s had reunited to shoot the next Sisterhood movie.
Does the ‘Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’ Cast Want to Reunite?
According to some of the cast’s past interviews, it doesn’t appear that they’ve formally started working on the new movie yet. During an October 2022 interview on Sirius XM’s Pop Culture Spotlight, Amber explained why there has been a delay in production.
“There’s a lot going on with the project,” she noted. “We’ve been working on it for, I don’t know, it feels like a decade at this point. My hope is that it’ll get made at some point.”
As for why she and her castmates haven’t reunited on camera yet, Amber pointed out that their personal lives have become their priority. “It’s very complicated for a lot of reasons, some of which include just the fact that between the four of us, we all have, like, 870 children,” she joked.
