The end of 2016 is when we celebrate who got the most likes (Selena Gomez won by a tidal wave) and which model dominated in follower numbers.
In the modern age, if you want to be somebody, you have to be an ‘Insta-body’. As a massive part of the social media world, Instagram has become a gateway for amateurs and professionals to glow up and show a side of themselves to inspire, to earn dollars and to also get hired – Vetements stylist Lotta Volkova says she casts her models on Instagram.
Harper’s Bazaar Australia compiled a list of the 10 models who have gained the most follows in 2016. The list is less surprising for those who keep up with the fashion world and rising models, but it can surprise you that neither Jenner sisters have made the list for the most follows earned this year, maybe it’s because everyone has been following them since the dawn of time.
