Kathryn Hahn, the ageless wonder (fine, she’s 51, but she’s rocking it), has FINALLY descended upon the chaotic world of Instagram! Yes, the queen of witches, snark, and Marvel’s finest has graced the app with her presence. This monumental event occurred on a humble Tuesday (October 8), right before she stirred up some magical mayhem on Disney+ with her new episode of Agatha All Along.
For her Instagram debut, did Kathryn post a selfie with a duck-lipped pout, like the rest of us mere mortals? No, no. She is Kathryn Hahn, after all. She served up a sleek, artsy, black-and-white, behind-the-scenes photo of herself and co-star Joe Locke, looking very “I’m-a-witch-you’re-a-teen-let’s-solve-crimes,” and the internet collectively swooned.
Her cryptic yet undeniably cool caption? “Witch and Teen. Photography by @plazadeaubrey.” Naturally, it was snapped by none other than Aubrey Plaza herself. Yes, THAT Aubrey Plaza—the patron saint of deadpan humor and Kathryn’s fellow chaos agent. Honestly, is this the coolest friend group ever?
Of course, because it’s the internet, someone in the comments had to ask, “Wait, is this really Kathryn? Or is this another fake account trying to get me to invest in witchy crystals?” Fear not, brave soul! Joe Locke, Kathryn’s teen accomplice (not actually her teen, just to clarify—this isn’t a reboot of Teen Witch… yet), swooped in with the truth like a Marvel hero. Yes, it’s really her. Cue the dramatic music.
But Hahn didn’t stop there! Oh no. In her Instagram Stories (yes, she’s already mastering those), she hit us with a triple whammy. First, that behind-the-scenes photo again, as if to say, “Look at me, I’m effortlessly cool.” Then, boom—a video clip of her dramatically reading from E. Jean Carroll’s testimony because, in true Kathryn style, why not mix witchcraft and activism? Finally, a Marvel video from the LA premiere of Agatha All Along, where she probably hexed some red carpets for fun. Honestly, who’s doing it like her?
And let’s not forget her Instagram bio: “my kid made me do this.” Classic move. When in doubt, blame the offspring. Among the A-listers and cool kids she’s following are her co-stars Joe Locke and Aubrey Plaza (duh), Patti LuPone (because divas stick together), and a crew of other fabulous humans like Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Jordan Peele (yes, that Jordan Peele), Kristen Bell, Rashida Jones, Jennifer Aniston, Spike Lee, and Adam Scott.
Basically, Kathryn Hahn’s Instagram is already cooler than all of ours combined, and we’re just here for the witchy ride. Now excuse me while I try to make my life as effortlessly iconic as her first post. Wish me luck.
