America Ferrera, basking in the glow of her Critics Choice Awards nomination for Best Supporting Actress in Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” enjoyed a heartwarming reunion with her former co-stars from the iconic 2005 film, “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” Despite the nearly two decades that have passed since the release of their beloved film, the camaraderie among Ferrera, Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel, and Amber Tamblyn remains as strong as ever.
The delightful reunion was captured by Josh Horowitz, host of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, who shared the heartwarming moment on social media. Reflecting on the serendipitous gathering, Horowitz humorously mentioned discussions with Blake Lively about the work ethic of Santa Claus.
Later, America Ferrera took to Instagram to share a reel of the joyous occasion, featuring her fellow Sisterhood members. Dressed in coordinated pink-themed outfits, the quartet celebrated Ferrera’s nomination in style. Blake Lively donned a sleeveless bubblegum pink dress with a fluffy skirt and matching accessories, while Alexis Bledel opted for a pink pencil skirt paired with a black top and blazer. Amber Tamblyn sported a pink suit over a white blouse, and Ferrera herself looked elegant in a white wrap dress with long sleeves, black tights, and black shoes.
In her Instagram post, Ferrera expressed her love for the Sisterhood, highlighting the special bond that has endured over the years. The original film, inspired by Ann Brashares’ novel, follows four friends connected by a magical pair of jeans that seems to fit each of them perfectly, symbolizing their unbreakable bond as their lives unfold.
While “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2” hit theaters in 2008, speculation about a third installment has persisted. In 2018, Alexis Bledel discussed the group’s lasting friendship and their pitch for a third movie on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. Lively, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, expressed confidence in the potential for another sequel, recognizing the power of fan enthusiasm.
The dream of a third movie remained alive in 2019, according to Ferrera, who acknowledged the challenges of coordinating busy schedules but expressed hope for the project’s realization. Unfortunately, various disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and industry strikes, delayed these plans.
In 2022, however, Amber Tamblyn reignited hope during an appearance on Sirius XM’s Pop Culture Spotlight with Jessica Shaw. Despite acknowledging the complexities involved, including the cast members’ responsibilities as parents, Tamblyn humorously referred to the prospect as the “ultimate grift.” The idea of getting paid to work together again, especially when they already cherish each other’s company in real life, seemed too good to pass up.
As fans eagerly anticipate the possibility of a third Sisterhood film, the enduring friendship among the cast serves as a testament to the magic they created on and off-screen nearly two decades ago.
