Her friend Paris Hilton declared her the inventor of the selfie.
And Britney Spears showed off her selfie skills with a playfully spooky photo shared to her Instagram on Wednesday.
The 38-year-old pop superstar joked that the moody lighting made her look like a ‘vampire’ while praising the benefits of natural lighting.
Eerie! Britney Spears, 38, looked unusually serious, even spooky, in a new selfie from Wednesday as she gushed about the benefits of natural outdoor lighting
Britney was once again dressed in one of her trusty peasant tops, though with slight variations from recent ones she’s displayed.
She wore a white top, which she often favors, with puffy short sleeves.
However, this design included some translucent white lace that extended beyond the shoulders and over her skin.
The 5ft4in singer also had on a black choker, and her blonde tresses were swept back.
Why so serious? Britney gushed about the sunlight making her look like she was wearing blush and lip gloss, but she looked more serious than her usual ebullient self
Unlike her usually ebullient self, Britney looked overly serious as she gazed in to the camera.
‘Ok … so I KNOW this is one wicked picture!!!!’ she admitted, before offering some pro tips on selfie lighting.
‘By the way … if you want great lighting … no need to go to a studio … take a step outside !!!! Outside lighting is literally magic ✨☀️!!!!
‘I wasn’t going for a vampire look but hey there’s a first time for everything !!!! I swear I had no blush or lipgloss on but it looks like I do…’ she said, noting the pink tinge of her cheeks and the luscious red of her lips.
‘And no my eyes aren’t green but I guess that’s the magic of the outdoors !!!!! PS …. Wait what if I am a vampire????’ she concluded on a joking note.
Holiday spirit: Earlier this week, she shared a vintage Thanksgiving photo while calling it ‘one of my favorite holidays,’ though she admitted she forgot it was this week until a few days before
Relax: She urged her fans and followers to treat themselves and to not worry if they have a ‘cheat month with food,’ as 2020 had been difficult for everyone
Britney was likely getting ready for her Thanksgiving festivities, though the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is likely to affect them this year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have urged Americans to only celebrate with the people they live with this year and not to travel to visit friends or relatives or to have large gatherings, as those events are likely to increase the spread of the coronavirus.
The holiday season arrives as numbers of infections have been surging throughout the US, and the virus is currently hitting the country harder than at any previous point.
But Britney sounded upbeat on Monday as she looked forward to the holiday.
‘Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays !!!!! I love the fall …. I like hot chocolate and I really like my fire place at home …. it’s so nice !!!!!
The Toxic singer also didn’t mind her children having some time off from school.
She also reminded her fans that 2020 has been terrible for most people, so it’s all right to have ‘cheat month’ when it comes to indulging with tasty foods.
‘None of us are perfect ….. and a little secret for ya ….. don’t tell anybody but I forgot it was Thanksgiving this week !!!!!!’ she added.
