Alyssa Milano is celebrating another year around the sun.
Yesterday, the actress and activist shared a barefaced Instagram selfie with the caption, “This is 52. No make up [sic]. No filters. Happiness. Sprinkle that sh*t everywhere.”
Addressing her 3.8 million followers, the birthday girl continued, “I love you all. Even the trolls. If you can hate a stranger—I can love a stranger. So…I love you.”
Said internet trolls didn’t waste any time pointing out her bold arches, leading to Milano slightly tweaking the post.
“Edit: yes, my eyebrows are micro-bladed,” the star added at the bottom of her caption.
However, there’s no shortage of uplifting remarks, with fans also commenting, “Fine wine 🔥🔥🔥” and “52 where??? Seriously?”
Ringing in her birthday with a makeup-free Instagram selfie has become a tradition for Milano these past few years.
Last December, the New York native posted a fresh-faced photo in her pajamas, writing, “Today is my birthday! #nomakeupselfie #nofilter #iwokeuplikethis”
And for her big 5-0, Milano shared a candid snap with a caption similar to this year’s.
“This is 50. No filter. No touching up. No make up [sic]. I will spend this day, the same as every day. I will move a little, love a lot, be of service, and count my blessings.”
Milano is one of many stars who’ve joined the ever-growing no-makeup movement.
Pamela Anderson has become synonymous with the beauty trend this past year, having mostly quit color cosmetics since Paris Fashion Week in Sept. 2023.
“I mean .. I love to wear makeup too sometimes,” she told People on the red carpet at the Gotham Awards earlier this month. “It has a time and a place. I just feel in my personal life, it just didn’t really make sense.”
This year, Milano made her Broadway debut in the Tony-winning revival of “Chicago.”
Playing Roxie Hart, Milano shared in a statement, “I could not be more excited to be getting back to my roots in musical theatre.”
“When I was eight and first joined the national touring company for “Annie,” I never could have imagined the 40-plus-year career ahead of me.”
Friends Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid showed their support, attending the show at the Ambassador Theater in Nov.
What a year.
