It took 25 years, but Julia Stiles finally got her Juilliard care package.
Inspired by Save the Last Dance, the 2001 film starring Stiles as Sara Johnson, a dancer who dreams of attending Juilliard, a playful social media exchange between Stiles, Juilliard, and her Dancing with the Stars partner Ezra Sosa quickly took on a life of its own. Many were left wondering if Stiles actually attended the school.
What did Juilliard do next? Lean into the bit. Juilliard sent Sara (well, Julia) a little something to commemorate her audition. The package came with a note explaining that, after checking the records, Juilliard had indeed found her — under the name “Sara Johnson.” Inside was a collection of Juilliard favorites, including a crop top, water bottle, tote, sweats, and more.
Stiles shared the unboxing with her followers, and Ezra joined in on the fun, giving fans a front-row look at their Juilliard haul.
Shop the merch that’s already racked up millions of views, thanks to Julia and Ezra.
