Sarah Desjardins Flaunts Lifelong Hand Gesture in Playful Instagram Carousel

A Gesture Decades In The Making

Yellowjackets actress Sarah Desjardins surprised followers this week with a six-image Instagram carousel highlighting a signature hand pose she’s been practicing her entire life. In the carousel’s first slide, she frames her face with interlaced fingers, sparkles in her eyes and the caption, “when I tell you I’ve been doing this thing with my hands my e n t i r e life. ✨🫂.” Across the remaining shots, Desjardins switches angles, lighting and facial expressions—yet that same hands-together motif remains the focal point.

Fans And Followers React

Since the carousel went live, comments have poured in celebrating both the cute gesture and the actress’s candid admission. One fan wrote, “This is so you—always playful!” while another noted, “I totally do that too 😅.” The post has already racked up tens of thousands of likes, with supporters tagging friends who share the habit. Several fans even joked about starting a “hand pose challenge,” hoping to see Desjardins pass the gesture along to fellow cast members.

Teasing Yellowjackets Season 4

This lighthearted personal moment comes on the heels of a more work-focused Instagram update from the Canadian actress. In a late-2023 carousel, Desjardins teased her return to the hit Showtime series, captioning, “I don’t blame you, but I can’t change you. Season 4 is coming 🐝 @yellowjackets.” That post featured behind-the-scenes stills from set and generated buzz among Yellowjackets devotees, eager for the next chapter in Shauna Sheridan’s story.

Glam Squad On Call

While this week’s hand-pose carousel felt spontaneous, Desjardins has leaned on a consistent creative team for her more formal looks. In another Instagram flashback celebrating the Season 3 finale, she credited hair stylist Kiley Fitz, makeup artist Loren Canva and stylist Sarah Slutsky. Fans of her red-carpet style will recall a sparkling slip dress, delicate jewels by Mejuri and carefully tousled waves—all polished by that same behind-the-scenes crew.

Beyond Yellowjackets, Desjardins has been sharing candid glimpses into her life off-camera, from gradual hair-cut experiments to impromptu cat playdates. Earlier this year, she documented a series of tiny hair trims, writing, “the plan is simple: just keep cutting my hair shorter in tiny increments till we’ve reached the length I most desire but am afraid of.” Another post featured her adopting two new rescue kittens with the caption, “monday: decides she’s ready for cats again. sunday: has cats again. willa & joni ❤️.” These slices of real life help underscore the warmth fans see in her latest hand-pose reveal.

Work, Play And What’s Next

From a signature childhood hand gesture to high-glamour event snapshots, Sarah Desjardins continues to blur the lines between personal whimsy and professional polish. Her Instagram feed now offers everything from playful hand-pose tutorials to major project announcements. As fans await Season 4 of Yellowjackets, there’s no doubt they’ll be watching every slide—and every hand movement—along the way.
