Jamie's pixie cut was also replaced with a gray blunt bob and short bangs, and she looked a far cry from her glamorous red carpet appearances.
Jamie said she 'specifically decided to relinquish and release every muscle'
Her lengthy and inspiring caption explained her vision and read: "Two years ago we made this movie right up until the day the world shut down.
"We just finished in time. It's a Magical Mystery Tour of a movie and I'm so excited to see it tomorrow at its premiere opening the @sxsw festival. @everythingeverywheremovie @a24. I'm proud to introduce you to Deirdre Beaubeirdra. An IRS auditor and @michelleyeoh_official nemesis and bae."

She continued: "I told Clark Collins @entertainmentweekly that...In the world, there is an industry — a billion-dollar, trillion-dollar industry — about hiding things. Concealers. Body-shapers. Fillers. Procedures. Clothing. Hair accessories. Hair products. Everything to conceal the reality of who we are.

Jamie added: "And my instruction to everybody was: I want there to be no concealing of anything. I've been sucking my stomach in since I was 11, when you start being conscious of boys and bodies, and the jeans are super tight.
"I very specifically decided to relinquish and release every muscle I had that I used to clench to hide the reality. That was my goal. I have never felt more free creatively and physically I can't wait for everybody to see the BRILLIANCE of Ms.Yeoh and @kehuyquan @stephaniehsuofficial @andyle_official @dunkwun."
One of the movie's directors, Daniel Kwan, confirmed it was all real when he told the outlet: "Everyone assumes that her belly in the movie is a prosthetic, but it's actually her real belly. She was grateful that she was allowed to just let it out."
