Zendaya celebrated her birthday in a sweet way this week.

The Emmy winner, who turned 28 on Sunday, shared an Instagram post marking the occasion with an adorable throwback picture of her younger self.

Just popping on here to say how appreciative I am for all of the kind birthday wishes, it truly means the world to meHeres to 28! she wrote in a caption for the post.

The actor, who was born Sept. 1, 1996, has made sharing throwback photos something of a birthday tradition over the years.

Last year for her 27th birthday, she shared an old picture of herself as a child sporting a big smile for the camera.

Every year I grow Im reminded of how precious this life is, thank you all for helping me fill it up with so much love, she wrote at the time.
