America Ferrera’s Former Costars Celebrate New Barbie Nomination

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants actresses got together again to cheer on America Ferrera in her role in the hit film Barbie.

Ferrara, who was in the 2005 film and its 2008 follow-up with Blake Lively, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel, has stayed tight with her co-stars over the years. In addition, the whole crew showed up for a recent Barbie Q&A session.

Ferrara shared on Instagram, “I love these women with all my heart,” as the actresses showed up in full pink Barbie mode.

In Barbie, Ferrara portrays Gloria, a Mattel employee who collaborates with Margot Robbie A.K.A. Barbie to reclaim “Barbie Land” from Ken’s patriarchy. Ferrera’s standout performance has positioned her as a potential Oscar nominee for Best Supporting Actress. Furthermore, the film’s impact is magnified by Gloria’s passionate monologue addressing the daily double standards women face.

All four girls shared selfies that show how close they are. Amber Tamblyn shared an image of the group and captioned it, “What a joy to come together in this way, in each other’s arms, the arms we’ve held, and linked with, and cradled as friends for 20 years, in honor of a woman who continues to take my breath away with everything she does and is. When I tell you some things are forever, this is right here.”

“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,” Lively captioned a post. “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.”

Ferrera revealed to Vanity Fair this summer that shooting her monologue in Barbie took two days to film. She stated it required “probably 30 to 50” takes to get it just right. The actress praised director Greta Gerwig, along with co-writer Noah Baumbach, for giving “so much freedom” with the monologue.

“There were moments in shooting the movie where Greta really had written something in a very specific way that she heard a very specific way in her head with a particular cadence in a particular speed or a particular inflection,” Ferrera stated.
