Since making her triumphant return to Instagram in early March, Megan Fox has not let her 24 million followers catch their breath.

Several pics and video posts later, the 39-year-old Tennessee native’s latest photo carousel has fans once again flocking to the comment section with praise. In her March 31 photo dump, Fox sprawled out on a bed surrounded by books and tarot cards. She wore a plaid micro skirt for the occasion, along with white thigh-high stockings, and in some of the photos, clear platform heels.

It was Fox’s baby T-shirt, adorned with a cherry motif, however, that brought us back to her 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue cover photo shoot in the Dominican Republic. While on set with photographer Greg Swales, the Jennifer’s Body star rocked an Agent Provocateur top with a very similar vibe. The ringer tee in red and white was cropped mid-bust and featured “Lick Me” text that encircled a cherry graphic.

Fox’s cherry tee was one of the now mom of four’s favorite looks from set in the Caribbean country. She fondly recalled her top ensembles from her time on location with us on the magazine’s red carpet launch back in 2023.

“I actually liked the brown look against the bamboo wall, and then I think my favorite, favorite is the cherry T-shirt,” Fox stated while at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City that year.

“@meganfox welcome back 🙌queen 🙌 💐,” one fan wrote of her triumphant return to the platform.

“I'm in love with this return to ig 😍,” someone else conccured.

“I never want this to stop,” another user stated of Fox’s posting frequency.

“she’s so back,” one comment read.

Fox’s caption, “it is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver,” quoted Italian philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli, and as always, she credited her glam team behind the Instagram photo shoot. Fox tagged nail artist Brittney Boyce, photographer Cibelle Levi, hairstylist Chris Dylan and makeup artist Jenna Nicole. The Transformers star amped up the schoolgirl aesthetic with her hair in tiny pigtails and wore a pair of black rimmed glasses perched on her nose.
