Madelaine Petsch just turned 31, and baby, she did not come to play, she came to slay. The Riverdale star took to Instagram with not one, but two birthday posts that scream, “I’m older, wiser, and hotter than you’ve ever been in your life.” And the internet had plenty to say about it.
The Birthday Shoot: Pink Cakes, Corsets, and Leo Energy
In her first post, Petsch dropped a carousel of 11 photos that could double as a Vogue editorial. She posed with a pink cherry-topped cake, snatched waist in a matching pink corset, and a sparkling “My Birthday” tiara perched perfectly on her head. She then slipped into sultry white lingerie under a banner reading “OLDER WISER & HOTTER THAN EVER.” Subtle? Absolutely not. Fabulous? One thousand percent.
She topped it all off with a cheeky white tee that read, “Kiss Me It’s My Birthday,” because if you’re not branding your birthday, are you even doing it right?
The second post gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot, with the caption: “God forbid a girl has a photoshoot for her birthday.” A queen defending her right to serve looks. Period.
Social Media Reacts: Praise, Shock, and a Little Bit of Shade
The internet erupted, because of course it did. Here’s what the people had to say:
- “Time doesn’t dim the glow, it sharpens it. Madelaine Petsch at 31 proves that elegance and fire only grow stronger with each year. 🎂💖🌟” (Poetic much? Shakespeare could never.)
- “My favorite ginger.😍” (Direct. Effective. Respect.)
- “Madelaine Petsch hitting 31 and still looking like she hasn’t aged a day 😳 absolute stunner… who else been a fan since Riverdale days? 🎉✨” (Riverdale truthers, rise up.)
- “OMG SHES 31!?????????” (The shock of it all. As if women age like milk. Grow up.)
- “Long live the Leo friends!!!!” (Astrology girlies always show up when needed.)
But of course, the trolls came crawling too:
- “Well she ain’t too wise dating Tyga lmao.”
- “Love her but can’t believe she’s dating that weirdo Tyga.”
- “What is she trying to be pretending? I can’t understand. These are some weird poses. I don’t like it.”
Even on her birthday, the Tyga discourse refuses to die. Someone please light a candle for these people, they’ve been haunted since Kylie Jenner days.
