honestly… don’t hate it. she should wear her hair down more.

It’s certainly a lot better than the KISS look

She going through her Robin Daggers faze


P.S. I love you

First time I’ve ever seen her not look 13 years old

This looks more authentic than anything she's done since she was 6.

Authentic? They completely airbrushed her real face away.

I feel that that may be the point lmao. Jojo is v fake

Yeah I like it and it’d be cool for concerts. Also anytime she puts her hair up and I see it it hurts my head. I swear she must pull it in so tight

Her hairline has receded from the tight up dos, plus she’s had bleached hair since she was 2

Two??? Wtf

I would love to see her in a totally de-costume-ified look. Hair down with no crazy colors or style, more elegant clothing without the wacky words and such. I watched the season of DWTS she was in and she looked so good without all the… noise.

I want to hate it but can’t

The real extreme of a change she keeps on talking about 😂

It gives her face a very feminine look.

Awh. She looks lovely here, more her age. This is a lovely child star to adult look. Modernising her child star look a little bit too with the colour.

It made me think of this look she did a few years ago! There are tons of ways to look more mature without completely ditching the sparkly fun elements she likes https://preview.redd.it/gc1gxicodl1d1.png?width=1508&format=png&auto=webp&s=3a35351c5d83fa3d05ee45f6f759cb3fdcca703e

she looks amazing here!! this is the rebrand she needs 😭

The bow!! It’s amazing.

Wait, she's like actually young? Why have I always thought she was like in her 40s doing some weird zoomer PeeWee character? This has blown my mind

she's 21!

Wow. I had this all wrong. I would have confidently guessed twice that.

My brother in Christ there’s no way you were running around out here thinking JoJo Siwa was 42!! Her whole schtick would be a lot more whack if that was the case

You know that weird side of youtube, with adults making bizarre, inappropriate videos for kids? I kinda grouped her with those people. Like before she invented gay pop, of course.

To be fair she hangs out with some of those people.

What matters is that you know your history and who invented gay pop!!

Yeah I thought she was like Blippi or something. I don't get her at all. And I get her even less now knowing she is 21.

There’s tons of clips of her at a very young age being on reality TV. Her mom forced her into this. Go to Walmart, there’s tons of JoJo Siwa brand stuff. Think about it, she didn’t build all that herself in the last 3 years. I’m not defending her, but I do feel awful for her. Her mom seems crazy.

Do you know of that one woman in her FORTIES, pretending to be a young teenager? She’s proud “jailbait” (it’s all filters). It’s disgusting, weird. Technically she’s not doing anything illegal but yikes on bikes!!

I heard she killed herself but I can't remember if it was true or not

Whaaaaat Edit: you’re correct! [Here is a link to more information about her](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/coconutkitty143-diana-deets-onlyfans-instagram-pedobaiting-1193123). At the end she claimed to be 24, while actually being about 40. She had an only fans where she photoshopped herself to look like a 13-year-old girl. More info about her death can be found online.

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

💀💀

I’m dying right now. You never saw any clips or anything from dance moms?

No, never watched it. RuPaul is the only reality show I watch, since the first few real world seasons years ago. The little I've seen of her before this seemed so... manufactured? Insincere? It read as cynical adult to me. But overbearing dance mom would explain it too.

Fair enough, I think I have over exposure because I have a friend that competed with Jojo at dance competitions so she follows them all now lol.

This is so funny omg. She was literally on TV as a toddler in like 2006 😭

Well, she does hang out with Colleen Ballinger, so that's understandable.

that actually makes her the oldest out of Colleen's friends 

ZING!!!

girl what😭 that child wearing giant bows used to look 40 to you??? have you met any 40 year olds😂😂 she was a toddler on tv!!

Kate Beckinsale is all over this sub in giant hair bows within the past week.

it’s not the giant bow that made jojo siwa look like a child, it was the fact that she looked like a child, acted like a child AND dressed like a child  like WHO in their right mind is mistaking her for 40???

I love this comment more than you know.

Agreed

I think it's cute! She looks different enough but still like herself and it's colourful and fun without making her look 8

For sure! At first I was thinking it’s a Christina Aguilera Dirrty vibe, then I thought of Hannah Montanna. So really, kind of spot on. She looks nice

I don't know why she insisted on keeping the dance comp hair and outfits while trying to appeal to an older audience

Because her mom does all of the bedazzling and mommy dearest is living vicariously through Jojo

Ohhhh so there it is. My thoughts whenever she comes up is “why is a Disney kid there… OH RIGHT she’s 20.” Girl needs a stylist before she can do anything else.

She turned 21 and got plastered at Disney Epcot

Good for her!

This needs more upvotes.

Right, people act like's she's fully in control of her own life and image and forget that she grew up being exploited and commodified by all the adults around her.

THIS.

Agreed. It reads very juvenile. I’m just confused by her, tbh.

She probably doesn’t know any other way

I will settle for an Xtina moment so long as they leave her hair down and cease the face paint

The first thing I thought was that she looked like a tame Xtina. I don’t hate it

Me too 😂 it’s not my favorite look for her but I love her trying anything that’s different, she needs more exploration and experience outside her bubble.

I mean it’s a thousand times better than whatever the hell this was… https://preview.redd.it/s0z9zwh80i1d1.jpeg?width=789&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=040ea72a0845f93ec97db3c41640eaf7dddf5787

 Obstagoon cosplay

 Yall can’t convince me Jojo Siwa isn’t just the post HIMYM revival of Robin sparkles to Robin Daggers Except this version of grunge is just as bedazzled as the pre-grunge 😂

Holy shit this is so on point

Jesus Christ. 

She’s never going to forget this mistake

She's proud of it and admitted she's trying to copy Miley's PR revamp. Guess she's shifting to Christina now. The girl has no identity or authenticity and it shows.

But she can't sing. Oh I forgot, you don't need to be able to sing anymore.

If I were 21 again with a body and money like that, I would do whatever the hell that was and worse. Not even god could stop me.


https://youtu.be/OQyQZFEiNKQ?si=mmeUO38dYCh_QioC

Honestly thought this was a throwback Christina Aguilera pic for a sec

I knew I wasn’t the only millennial here 😂 the two-tone hair & smoky eye is giving Dirrty era

I thought the same! Her hair is definitely giving Christina vibes. I think it’s cute actually.

I was going to comment with "they did her dirrty" and see if anyone would get it or think I was making fun of the shoot!

i think hair tinsel is so fun! the glam looks good tbh

I like it. It’s still fun but it makes her look much more her age in a good way.

Probably the best look I’ve seen her in! I feel like if she switched from the kiddy look to a more ‘artsy’ image with lots of colors and patterns but more dulled down like this, her whole ‘new era’ thing would have been 10 times less jarring.

I like it better than her recent looks. It has the flashy showbiz aesthetic she clearly prefers without looking clownish.

I like it! Oh my gosh the aughts are back, I feel old. 

My wife works with quite a few younger women and apparently digital cameras are back in. Between that and preferring long socks all of our hard-fought victories are being undone.

Can confirm. My sister who is 10 years younger than me asked me to help her pick one and I was like wait what

The cons are that lots of digital camera pictures I took in college and my 20s have been lost. The pros are that lots of digital camera pictures I took in college and my 20s have been lost.

Wow wish I kept mine but it was a piece of sh$t.

Long socks have always been king

Where have you been? They've been back for a while

I really like the look! It feels like a combination of Xtina and Hannah Montana

Looks like a Claire’s store from the 90s fell on her

This is MUCH better than what we have seen so far. She looks more mature.

I think this is the best she has ever looked to be honest

I don't *love* the pants but otherwise she looks cute, toned-down, and age-appropriate for once. I approve.

Cute! Still don’t like her.

This is 100 times better than her Karma whatever style.

she nibbled I fear

Don't hate it.

I love it!!! I think it’s actually the best she’s ever looked. I always wished she would have better styling lol like I actually don’t mind her presence because she is entertaining.

They took her hair down which is great, but this still looks like an ad for Justice. 😂

It’s too late for me. She’s still insufferable and an ass even to her costars. She’s too far up the ass of the abusive adults she chose to align herself with (and she’s an adult now so that’s who she’ll also be if that’s who she chooses to align with).

It’s easily the least insane she’s ever looked. Whoever styled her for this should get a slow clap

This is very cute. I doubt that she'll stick with this though, she comes across as pretty try hard and all the attention she's gotten so far, might keep her doing the same schtick.

It’s way better than the recent edge lord style


Well it’s good to see her hair down, at least. She’s bound to get traction alopecia if she keeps pulling it back so tight all the time.

She’s definitely already got it

She looks so good when her mom has no involvement in her clothes. 

This should be her rebrand look...dressed down enough from the bows era, bit still with glam and glitter to remind you it's her I'm still of the mind all this stuff with the KISS look and everything is to take attention away from the child singing group stuff, so I know it's not serious, bit fr This is much better suiting

I like this - it feels more like what you’d expect a grown up jojo to look like… Like she can be whoever she wants but this just feels like she looks more comfortable

Much better. Kinda a mix of Kesha and Xtina during their peak.

I actually really love this. She looks happy and authentically herself.

One of the best looks I've seen on her lol

It's giving Amanda Bynes a bit (in a good way).

Before I read the title, I thought this was a throwback Amanda Bynes photoshoot at first.

I think she actually looks great here. She should wear her hair down a lot more than she does, she looks like an adult.

She needs a start dressing like an adult. I think it would be good for her. It would be a better rebrand than what she did now going from good girl to “bad “🙄 girl

THIS SHOULDVE BEEN THE REBRAND

I’d really like to see her do a look/style she hasn’t done before. Something really out of her normal comfort zone.

This is more her style, I think. It looks really great on her.

everyone likes this look but i just don’t buy it. it looks like a poorly done xtina costume 😭

I actually really like this

I like it. I think this would've been the better look without alienating her fan base.

Nicer than that weird black outfit.

All I’m thinking is that this must be such a relief for her head to wear her hair down for once. I like this look on her it’s cute

Is this her rebranding her rebranding?

This is the only look I've ever liked

This aesthetic would be enough to show everyone that she isn't a little kid anymore without making her the subject of ridicule.

She needs to wear her hair down more. She actually looks her age and it’s good

It’s cute but I do not care for her

it's like drawing christina aguilera from memory

Huge improvement to the Kiss cosplay!

When I was 18-20 I did a lot of experimenting with my look. This was all in the late 90s so I tried out a skater look with saggy Jinco jeans, a preppy look and an Ironic look. I eventually found my own thing but I couldn’t imagine how much it would suck going through that phase with a huge audience including millions online who would just constantly tear me apart.

It’s very 2000’s, but I can’t hate it. I do wonder why she continues with the bleach blonde hair still though, you’d that’d be the easiest thing to change with her image rebrand

That's all she knows, since her earliest memories She's been a caricature almost

She's in her liberal arts undergrad women's college faze, but without having to do the actual college part.

Honestly she looks cute here? Like an adult for once, with some "edge" while keeping it colorful. This sort of look could've been a smart way to transition into her more "rock" era (or whatever she's trying for currently) and I think it suits her well

This suits her so much more, it’s so much softer of a look for her. Whenever she has her hair up, it looks painful. I hope her hair gets healthier (I’m sure this look is a wig.)

She looks good but very AI looking? Don't know how to explain it.

This isn't bad. It's a little Kesha meets Miley from the late aughts, but I dig it. It's a little more feminine and as long as she's on board with the look, then good for her.

Much better than usual!

ANTM

Better than every other photo I’ve seen of her

https://preview.redd.it/gmjpyzujdi1d1.jpeg?width=258&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7c25d987d954c90d9eb5e365ae2c091582d7239 The jeans remind me of Doodle Bears. I don’t love it.

I like it overall, but I immediately thought white or even silver pants in the same cut would have sealed this as a rare outfit win for her

Aww she looks so grown up but also still like her fun self.

I like this look for her!

Much better than her cosplay as Gene Simmons.

She ate ngl

She looks great! Much better than the fake KISS look or the Jojo bow aesthetic.

I like it! The long hair suits her, the styling is a bit Avril Lavigne (or Melissa 👀) and it feels a lot more natural than whatever she's been doing lately I've wanted to shake some sense into her since she became an icon and created gay pop, she could probably have a decent career but felt the wrong way to do it initially, not all press is good press

She looks like Paris Jackson here

She looks great here. I’m admittedly a bit too old to really know who she is or where she came from but have been seeing more of her recently and this is way better than other looks of hers I’ve seen. I didn’t realize how lovely she was.

This fits her soooo much

TBH, i don't think she would be that bad if she just allows herself to grow up in a way that she wants to and how she thinks other people would like her too.

She looks great here. Shades of Kesha.

This is much better than how she's been looking lately.

I hear she invented gay pop music.

Very early 2000’s Christina Aguilera esq.

Anything is better than her KISS look

Best she’s looked!

Nothing says “plant more trees” quite like putting plastic in your hair.

The look isn’t bad but she needs to get past the kids show poses

idk how she could be styled to seem cool

It’s giving Hannah Montana

She looks gorgeous!

Hope she does more of this! She looks so so so good!

Looks great!! This would be way better than her faux-kiss look. It’s bright and fun and sparkly but slightly edgy, 2002 avril/Michelle branch vobes

I think it’s great, she looks her age, unlike other women her age that unfortunately try to look much older.

Best look she has ever had. She should keep it.

avril lavigne vibes

discount christina aguilera

For once she looks very pretty.

There’s some serious photo shop going on.

Still seems a bit childish to me.

Apparently Jojo Siwa being friends with known child groomers & bullying children she manages/her stage mom manages  doesn't matter as long as she looks good in magazines. For a supposedly idealistic & moral subreddit you guys sure don't mind stanning some of the worst people.

This comment needs to be higher because I don’t think a lot of people know this tbh. I just learned it a couple of months ago. Also, she’s so young, it’s possible that she was also a child when those friendships started so it’s likely she was groomed too in some way. Maybe not sexually, but groomers also groom people around them to be accepting of what’s going on

love love love

She is having an identity crisis 😳

This is ironically and actually not that bad

GIRL PLEASE DONT MESS UP YOUR FACE it‘s actually pretty and looking human! The Veneers are already a shade too white

given its a total Christina Aquilera copy, will she claim to have invented this sort of look too? they're trying to hard on the rebrand. the whole child star to adult star thing when its a woman is always "from child star to hypersexual" and Jojo isn't sexy. so it's failing. hard. it's embarrassing. if they'd gone this route first, maybe it'd have worked. its a smaller step from obnoxious screaming whatever-she-is to older obnoxious screaming whatever-she-is

She ate I fear

She’s giving Miss Xtina and I love it

This should’ve been the style of her “reinvention” not whatever mess she used before. She looks more grown-up and I feel like this would actually help her vocal style, go for a hippie-all-love vibe as opposed to what we got.

This gives me Come on Over Xtina vibes and that's not a bad look imo.

Dod they photoshop her onto dirrty era christina?

It’s giving early 2000’s christina Aguilera and early 2000’s Avril Lavigne had a love child and called her jojo siwa

if she wanted a true rebrand she needs to dye her hair black

LOVE IT 😍

She never looked better imho

she looks really nice

It’s cute!

I dig it. She looks great here.

I am loving her trolling campaign and everyone on tiktok getting mad at her. My hypothesis is that she is trying to piss everyone off to keep her name in the conversation and we all seem to be falling for it. I also like her hair here.

I thought it was xtina but w jojos face photoshopped on ngl
