Julia Stiles: Why is she trending?

During a skit on the show Saturday, the talented actress delighted fans with her reprised role in the 2001 film. In a surprise cameo on Saturday Night Live, the 42-year-old actress showcased her dance skills and brought back the beloved character Sara from “Save the Last Dance.”

The hilarious performance skit was introduced by SNL’s Chloe Fineman, who was dressed in a Christmas robe and presented a “sexy gift idea” for the holidays during Weekend Update, hosted by Colin Jost and Michael Che.

“The perfect holiday gift this year is the dance that Julia Stiles does at the end of the 2001 movie Save the Last Dance,” Fineman, 35, said. She then disrobed to reveal an all-black outfit matching the final performance look of Stiles’ character from the film. 

Fineman then went into a full dance routine which she coined, “Street/Ballet”, resembling Sara’s last dance. 

“So does she get into Juliard…?” Jost, 41, asked Fineman. 

Stiles then jumped into the frame as she responded, “Yes!” while wearing an outfit that matched Fineman’s and her own slick bun. “Sara did get into Julliard,” she added, as the audience cheered. 

“How?” Jost asked her. “Well, you didn’t see the end of the dance,” Stiles replied as Fineman shouted, “Hit it!” The pair then performed a synchronized final part of their Save the Last Dance routine as they sat on chairs, finishing with a fist bump.

“OK, so Colin, what did you think?” Fineman asked Jost. 

“Well I can’t say this on the record yet…but welcome to Juliard!” Jost said.
