Erin Moriarty has spent a significant amount of time in her role as Starlight, first joining ‘The Boys’ back in December 2017. The character has greatly influenced her career trajectory. With the series now concluded, her latest mirror selfie has fans eagerly awaiting her next moves.

The Amazon Prime Video superhero satire ran from 2019 to 2026, with its fifth and final season debuting on April 8 and concluding on May 20. For many fans, Moriarty’s portrayal of Annie January was central to the show’s emotional core.

Moriarty recently shared a mirror selfie on Instagram, which quickly gained traction on X. The post caught the attention of many outlets and her followers alike. The image features a classic bathroom mirror shot with a relaxed, off-duty aesthetic.

In the photo, she wears a simple black tank top paired with a delicate gold necklace, a gold bracelet, and several rings. Holding her phone in a tortoiseshell case, she keeps the caption casual by tagging a friend.

In contrast to her glamorous red carpet appearances, this selfie offers a more intimate glimpse into her life. One outlet described her minimalist styling as natural and unfussy, showcasing that she doesn’t need a superhero outfit to make an impact. With around 3 million Instagram followers, even a simple update captures attention.

This post continues a trend; back in June, she shared a couple of candid mirror selfies that exuded a relaxed, night-out vibe. Each update provides fans with a little insight into her life beyond the spotlight.

The conclusion of Starlight’s story was uplifting, showing her happily pregnant while continuing her fight against crime as an independent vigilante. This was one of the few positive endings in the series.

Moriarty also reprised her role in ‘Gen V’ season 2, marking a crossover between the two series. Additionally, she returned as Starlight in a Call of Duty Mobile crossover, pitting her against Homelander, ensuring the character remains in the public eye.

Moriarty has been candid about her behind-the-scenes struggles. In June 2025, she publicly shared her diagnosis of Graves’ disease, which she faced while filming the final season. Her symptoms included chronic fatigue and nausea, but treatment has aided her recovery.

“I finally felt present at the very end of season five,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. She mentioned that she hasn’t been able to watch the final season yet, as she isn’t ready to revisit such a challenging period. This current downtime holds special significance for her.

Fans are curious about her next steps. Before ‘The Boys,’ she had notable roles in ‘Jessica Jones,’ the first season of ‘True Detective,’ and films like ‘Captain Fantastic’ and ‘Blood Father.’ She is also set to appear in the neo-noir thriller ‘Lips Like Sugar’ alongside Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson.

The broader franchise continues to expand. The prequel spinoff ‘Vought Rising’ is scheduled for 2027, and a separate Mexico-based spinoff is in the works. While some speculate that Starlight could return in future narratives, nothing has been confirmed.

For now, posts like this help maintain the connection between fans and the actress who brought Starlight to life. In the absence of new project announcements, a mirror selfie becomes a noteworthy event. It also highlights the goodwill she has cultivated over nearly a decade.

Taking a break after such a lengthy run offers her a chance to reset. Whether her next venture is another franchise, a smaller film, or something entirely different, her audience is eager to follow along.
