Every year, Jane Wiedlin makes sure her birthday is unforgettable, and not just with cake and parties. She’s known for stripping back filters, makeup, and Photoshop to share fearless, bare-faced photos marking her special day. This year, the punk legend pushed the barriers once again and took her birthday photos in nothing but her birthday suit.
To mark her 67th birthday, Wiedlin posted a cheeky photo on Instagram, lounging on a black chaise in the sun with just sunglasses, a smile, and a few well-placed emojis. “Happy 67th Birthday to meeee!” she wrote. “As I do every year, here’s me in my birthday suit: no filters, no photoshop, no makeup.”

While the official Go-Go’s account kept it PG, Jane went all in on her tradition. The musician who is known for her wild spirit and humor, reclined next to four dolls under an umbrella looking cool, casual, and totally unbothered.
The post quickly drew love from fellow musicians and fans alike. ‘Letters to Cleo’ singer Kay Hanley wrote, “GURL… I.. ummm Wow. Happy birthday! You win!” Margaret Cho added a fire emoji trio. Even Zia McCabe from the Dandy Warhols chimed in, “Yass queen… You look incredible!”. Fans also praised her confidence and honesty, thanking her for “keeping it real.”
Jane Wiedlin paved the way for all-female bands in rock music
Wiedlin’s love for music goes way back, long before We Got the Beat topped the charts. She co-founded the Go-Go’s in 1978, helped shape the sound of the ‘80s, and paved the way for all-female bands in rock. Over four decades later, she’s still turning heads and making noise on her own terms.
As she marks her 67th birthday, it is clear she’s not just celebrating a new age; she is also celebrating a lifetime of being bold, loud, and completely herself. Jane Wiedlin is sending a message loud and clear: Be bold, be fun, be yourself, and maybe wear nothing while doing it.
