\"Glad I got to breathe in the fresh air and take my mask off for a min. while no was was around,\" the 30-year-old captioned one of her beach photos before assuring fans she otherwise wears a mask \"all the time!\"

She also mentioned her slightly unconventional beach outfit by cracking, \"Brought a little NY fashion to the beach which is y I look like I’m going to a funeral.\"

Other posts she uploaded were of her mother's \"beautiful\" old graduation photo along with a throwback photo of her and \"The Magicians\" star Stella Maeve hanging out when they were very little.

Subsequent posts made nods to the Black Lives Matter movement, with the \"Remember the Titans\" alum commemorating George Floyd with a bright mural of him along with the message that his life mattered. Panettiere added in the caption, \"'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere' This man will never be forgotten.\"

A post shared by Hayden Panettiere (@haydenpanettiere) on Jun 7, 2020 at 1:42pm PDT

She also shared her ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko's compelling message against racism, in which the retired Ukrainian professional boxer inspired everyone to be the change they want to see in the world.

The actress ended the posting spree by unveiling a brand-new tattoo, three triangles and an Egyptian-inspired eye inked on the back of her neck, which she dubbed \"The Eye of Ra.\"
