New Year, new same photo! 

Lea Michele took to Instagram on Thursday to wish her followers a happy New Year while on vacation in Mexico with boyfriend Matthew Paetz. In the sexy shot, the Glee star is posing in a thong bikini while standing beside an infinity pool, wearing her long locks down in a beachy style.

Once you peel your eyes away from Michelle's cheeky bum, you'll notice that she's also topless in the pic (apparently, she's trying to ring in 2015 with as little clothing as possible) and there's even a gorgeous backdrop (although we doubt anyone's paying attention). 

"Let's do this 2015! ❤️" the Glee star wrote of the image, shamelessly showing off her bangin' bikini bod.

While there's no doubt the brunette beauty looks fab in the shot, there's one tiny problem with the picturesque photo: it's nearly identical to the image she posted last year while on vacation in Mexico in honor of 2014. 

Oh, except this year she upped the ante by stripping off her bikini top...

No word yet if Lea's caught wind of her Instagram repeat, although we doubt she's listening to any critics, as she continues to enjoy her time south of the border with her man. 

Earlier in the week, the couple, who was first romantically linked in June, packed on the PDA while frolicking on the beach together. Michelle showed off her svelte figure in an itty-bitty white bikini while Paetz flaunted his abs as he strolled shirtless in the sand with his ladylove.

In September, a source confirmed to E! News that the duo, who appears to be stronger than ever, have moved in together, and, less than one month later, Lea hinted that she is in love with her handsome beau. 

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides," she captioned a silhouette pic in which the pair is holding hands. 

She also used the same image in a college of 2014 highlights, writing, "Looking back on 2014 and I couldn't be more grateful.. So many amazing experiences and adventures.. I feel truly blessed and thankful to be surround each day by the most incredible friends and family who have been with me through thick and thin... Here's to an amazing 2015! ❤️"
