JoJo Siwa is no stranger to delivering bold statements, whether it is on the red carpet or social media.
In a striking departure from her usual look, the former child star channeled a different vibe on Instagram, surprising her followers with an unexpected transformation and a nod to two icons.
In her recent post, the 22-year-old transformed into a blonde beauty as she channeled the old Hollywood through the 1930s actress, Bette Davis.
From the iconic star’s curly hair to her signature sparkly eyeshadow look and a bold yet classic red lip, she fully embraced the vintage glam aesthetic with a modern twist.
Apart from her transformation, Siwa also paid tribute to a country legend, Kim Carnes, as the Dance Moms star covered one of the award-winning singer’s famous songs, “Bette Davis Eyes.”
From the black-and-white clip to the raspy and husky voice of the prolific music artist, she not only delivered powerful vocals but also captured the raw emotion behind every lyric.

On top of that, she reached out to her followers, asking if they wanted the track available on Spotify.
“After performing this song live and then seeing the beautiful response to it, I decided to go record a studio vocal…. I’m undecided if I should release it on Spotify or not…. Would you want me to?!!! If you would, I’m thinking maybe end of this week?” she wrote.
The comment section buzzed with excitement over her version of Carnes’ 1981 classic.
“The song, the look, everything is perfection,” a fan said.
“Absolutely insane. RELEASE IT. I need the soundtrack to my summer,” a second user wrote.
“YESSSS!!! We need this, drop now, pls!!!” a commenter noted.
“Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh. It’s perfect,” a follower chimed in.
The hype continues as fans rave about her stunning transformation.
“Oh my god. This is amazing .. what a look.. like Marilyn Monroe & Betty Davis in one,” a commenter added.
“Yes, put it on Spotify!!” a fan exclaimed, eagerly looking forward to the release.
While her latest post has everyone talking, the singer-dancer’s dating life recently became the talk of the town. It was after she officially confirmed her relationship with entrepreneur Chris Hughes.
According to Siwa, her relationship with him has evolved.
“It’s not platonic anymore,” she told The Guardian, adding, “and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.”
