The L.A. nightlife constant-turned-British bon vivant, Lindsay Lohan, is no stranger to making headlines for style-related reasons, but the reaction is frequently, shall we say, mixed. But her latest foray into attention-garnering social media is getting rave reviews: a fresh-faced, glowing early-A.M. snap, in which the star appears to be wearing barely a drop of makeup.

Typically, when Lohan’s Instagram account makes the news it’s to underscore her questoinable photoshop skills, point out a cryptic 9/11 memorial caption that reads more like spoken word poetry, or to ponder the puzzling choice of dressing up as Sharon Tate on Charles Manson’s birthday. But it’s hard to take issue with the latest missive from Lohan’s social media: Not only has Lohan nabbed her first film acting role since 2013’s The Canyon, titled The Shadow Within, but she celebrated her second day of shooting by posting a luminous makeup-free selfie from bed.

Lohan is undeniably radiant in the snap, looking more like the ingenue audiences fell in love with in The Parent Trap than the bedraggled delinquent we’ve become accustomed to seeing splashed across the covers of tabloids. Not only are her red locks back in full force, but she’s also letting her freckles and natural beauty shine through. Hopefully, this fresh, clean new look for Lindsay will also mark a complete about-face in the 25-year-old’s personal life. But this au naturel reinvention also begs the question: is the world really ready for a full-blown Lindsay Lohan comeback? All I know is, if it comes in the form of a Mean Girls reboot with the original cast, you can count me in.
