Instagram accounts of fashion celebrities worth following

By Liz Reichart, A&E Editor //

Ladies, scrolling down the same Instagram feed after a while gets repetitive. There seems to be the same arrangement of sentimental pics each time I open the app. Instagrams typically fall into one of a few distinct categories: happy birthday pic stitches, the boys who post pictures of cars they don’t own, and then what seems like an ocean of pictures featuring nicely arranged girls commemorating some event, whether it be dinner at 1924 Prime, a formal, or a “Throwback Thursday.” What I’m getting at is that as much as we love creeping on the average lives of our friends, most of us could use some variation in the Instagram department, but don’t where to start when seeking celebrity accounts to follow. A new genre of instagram account has emerged within the past few years, that being the idea of a fashion account. This account is run by someone well-known and this celebrity posts pictures that serve as outfit inspiration when planning what to wear on a night out. The perfect fashion celebrity has a killer sense of style and a unique personality to match. As a connoisseur of fashion celebrity Instagram accounts myself, I’ve compiled a list of the most worthy, most inspirational and most helpful in this field.

Alexa Chung is certainly one of the fore founders of pairing fashion and Instagram. Her account, @chungalexa, features shameless selfies in addition to pictures of the glamorous parties she frequents. Her style is edgy, and her personality, likewise. She is the 21st century style maven if there ever was one. As much as I hate to admit it, I also follow Kardashian sister and rising haute couture supermodel Kendall Jenner at her instagram account @kendalljenner. There are rumors (and videos… and pictures…) that claim Ms. Jenner treats restaurant staff poorly and is generally a malicious person, but there’s no denying her Instagram account is on point. Seeing Kendall Jenner walk in Balmain fashion shows gives me the motivation I need to attend my 7:50 a.m. class. The clothes she wears are certainly picked out for her by a style expert, so one can’t be sure how much input she has in what she wears. However, the garments Jenner wears cost more than my life is worth, I’m sure, and she always looks stunning.

Looking for styles that are more attainable? Look no further! Miroslava Duma can be found at @miraduma snapping pics of her and friends sporting ready-to-wear looks every day of the week. This pint-sized Russian fashion editor (she’s only 5 feet tall!) proves that height should never be an excuse for not putting yourself out there in the latest fashion trends. Not to mention her exotic holiday excursions will make you want to pack your bags and jump on the next plane to Greece with her.

Cara Delevigne is currently the most in-demand model in the industry. She walked in every major Paris fashion week show this past September, including Chanel, Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney, Balmain, and many more. Wacky and goofy, she is anything but the stuffy, stuck-up model the masses have come to expect. Cara Delevigne often sports grunge looks on the street, but cleans up nice on the runways to be sure. Variety and humor are sure finds on her instagram account, my personal favorite, @caradelevigne.
