Jamie Lynn Spears is getting real about what makes a great selfie.
The actress and singer lifted the lid on the reality behind creating a perfect shot via an Instagram carousel, which she shared with her 2.2 million followers on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Jamie Lynn, 34, shared that “good lighting + tons of make-up + pounds of fake hair really make a difference” when trying to get that perfect picture. Alongside her advice, the Zoey 101 alum shared a carousel of images of herself in various poses, wearing a bright red sweater and gray jeans.
While one image showed her pouting, another had her flashing the peace sign, and a third showed off the long, wavy blonde extensions.
Jamie Lynn’s revelation follow her offering an insight into her Christmas celebrations with a social media post on Dec. 25. The Instagram carousel showed her daughters, Maddie, 17, and Ivey, 7, celebrating at her Louisiana home with her mom, Lynne, 70 and her nephew, Preston, 20, the son of Jamie Lynn’s sister, Britney, 44.

The festive images include the family posing by a huge Christmas tree, opening piles of gifts, and leaving out food for Santa’s reindeer. The carousel also revealed that Jamie Lynn gifted her daughter Maddie an ATV, nearly 9 years after the teen fell into a coma following a traumatic ATV accident.
"Merry CHRISTMAS ✝️🤶🏻🎀🎄🎁," Jamie Lynn wrote in the carousel's caption.
However, one family member notably missing from the celebrations was Britney, who shared a pointed Instagram post three days later that appeared to be a sarcastic acknowledgement of her family’s holiday plans.
The “Gimme More” singer wrote, “Merry late Christmas to my beautiful family who have never disrespected me, harmed me, ever done anything completely unacceptable or caused unbelievable trauma, the kind you can’t fix…,” Britney wrote. “To my dear sweet innocent family … so so sorry I was busy this Christmas but I will definitely show up and surprise you soon … I can't wait.”

"Britney had a fun time celebrating Christmas with Jayden — it's been such a special holiday," the source said.
Britney wrote about her complicated relationship with Jamie Lynn in her 2023 memoir The Woman in Me.
In the book, the singer said her “heart goes out” to Jamie Lynn for growing up in her shadow and for being a child of divorce.
“She will always be my sister, and I love her and her beautiful family. I’m working to feel more compassion than anger toward her, and toward everyone who I feel has wronged me. It’s not easy,” Britney wrote in the book.
