Gillian Anderson, star of the Netflix comedy Sex Education, is well endowed – with Emmy wins.

The 53-year-old TV legend earned her second Emmy statuette on Monday for her role as Margaret Thatcher in The Crown, after taking home her first in 1997 for the iconic sci-fi series The X-Files.

But for fans too young to remember the sci-fi show, the actress’s acceptance in her native American accent caused shockwaves across social media.

Anderson’s achievement also prompted her friends at fashion house Chloé to make a very tongue-in-cheek tribute, sending a giant penis-shaped celebration cake to her door – presumably inspired by her character as a sex therapist on Sex Education, which just premiered its third season.

“Congrats on a BIG one!” reads the icing on the base of the X-rated cake. It’s signed “Gabi & the Chloé team,” referring to the brand’s creative director, Gabriela Hearst, and those who dressed Anderson for the awards ceremony. The actress stunned on the red carpet in a simple cream silk two-piece by the brand – complete with tiny silver penis charms embellishing the waist.

The actor shared an image of the cake on Tuesday for her 2.1 million Instagram followers. She captioned the pic, “Let them eat cake! Thank you thank you thank you,” adding the hashtags #sizedoesmatter and #penisoftheyear.

This year marked the sixth Emmy nomination for Anderson, who garnered a nod in 2006 for her work in the BBC miniseries Bleak House, an adaptation of the eponymous Charles Dickens novel, as well as three non-wins for her work as Agent Scully in The X-Files.

But her current character, as the unrepressed Jean Milburn on Sex Education, is far from the straitlaced sort of Dickens’ era – and perhaps not unlike Anderson herself, as she recently told fans she’s given up on bras.

“I don’t wear a bra anymore. I can’t wear a bra. I’m sorry,” Anderson declared in an Instagram video in July. “I don’t care if my breasts reach my belly button. I’m not wearing a bra, it’s just too f***ing uncomfortable.”

Can’t argue with that.
