    40 Of The Biggest Celebrities' First EVER Instagram Posts

    Ever wanted to know what the first ever Instagram post was from your favourite celeb but don't want to scroll through EVERY photo?

    1. Kylie Jenner 1st Instagram

      1. Kylie Jenner

      Kylie Jenner is one of the most followed people on Instagram, she’s a mode, a mother, runs her own make-up range & appeared in countless music videos. However, we love how chill her first post is.

    2. Harry Styles 1st Insagram

      2. Harry Styles

      He tried to pen this as “Deerstagram”. While it hasn’t quite caught on, we’re behind you on this one, Harry. Maybe you could get 'Deerstagram' running while that 1D hiatus continues...

    3. Demi Lovato 1st Instagram Post

      3. Demi Lovato

      “You better be watching The X Factor tonight”. Well, if Demi asks, we do it. Especially when she looks as good as this. We didn’t find leopards that sexy… Until now?!

    4. Selena Gomez First Instagram Post

      4. Selena Gomez

      You literally need to go to Selena’s Instagram profile RIGHT NOW! This doesn’t do it justice. She dances like we’ve never seen. What are you waiting for?!

    5. Justin Timberlake 1st Instagram Post

      5. Justin Timberlake

      He may have brought sexy back, but he’s somehow managed to take away all of the traffic too. What can this man not do?

    6. Kim Kardashian 1st Instagram

      6. Kim Kardashian

      Obviously Kim was going to slay it on her very first Instagram post, wasn’t she? She don’t need no training. We’re just shocked it’s not a selfie!

    7. Will Smith First Instagram Post 1

      7. Will Smith

      Will Smith joined Instagram in December 2017 - a LOT later than pretty much every human being but when he did, it was fresh from the set of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'!

    8. Niall Horan 1st Instagram

      8. Niall Horan

      We’ve been looking for One Direction’s biggest fan for AGES. It turns out that Niall found them years ago!

    9. Kanye West 1st Instagram Post

      9. Kanye West

      In true Kanye style, he got Instagram about 100 years after the rest of the celebs and his first post is...well...different. No caption and a random car. Cheers Yeezy, nice one.

    10. Ariana Grande Instagram Post

      10. Ariana Grande

      To be fair, a snap with your granddad is pretty adorable. But a snap of your granddad in a personalised Ariana Army hoody? He’s so G, he’s pretty much H.

    11. Taylor Swift 1st Instagram

      11. Taylor Swift

      Rather than posting her squad or her unbelievable tours, Tay-Tay took some time to welcome her nan to Instagram. Our little hearts…

    12. Kendall Jenner 1st Instagram

      12. Kendall Jenner

      Kendall’s first Instagram snap wasn’t of her crazy, wild modelling life. It was at Disneyland. And we’re not even mad. Just insanely jealous.

    13. Ed Sheeran 1st Instagram

      13. Ed Sheeran

      We never thought we’d say this, but Ed Sheeran is pretty much… KING OF THE SELFIE, isn’t he? Why wouldn’t you pull that face seconds before you perform to thousands?

    14. Britney Spears 1st Instagram

      14. Britney Spears

      WHO ELSE IS FANGIRLING RIGHT THIS SECOND?! Britney chose her first Instagram post to be her and The Wanted. We have SO, SO, SO many unanswered questions.

    15. Justin Bieber 1st Instagram

      15. Justin Bieber

      We’re a little relieved Bieber’s life is more adventurous now, because we don’t think we could have done with years and years worth of snapshots of traffic.

    16. Perrie Edwards 1st Instagram

      16. Perrie Edwards

      Okay, we’re confused. Firstly, why does Perrie look so miserable while holding that cute dog? And why does that cute dog look so miserable while being held by Perrie?!

    17. George Ezra 1st Instagram

      17. George Ezra

      Aww, we wouldn’t expect any less of George Ezra. His very first post EVER was this lovely snap of his Mum! Adorableness +100 points!

    18. Shawn Mendes 1st Instagram

      18. Shawn Mendes

      We see a lot of our mates posting some tame posts. But when Shawn Mendes posts one of his cat, it someone just becomes really, really cool, doesn’t it?

    19. Ellie Goulding 1st Instagram

      19. Ellie Goulding

      This. This is why you don’t try to introduce your Mum into your TV shows. It’s not every day that an award-winning singer gets confused with someone singing to Louis Walsh, is it?

    20. Rita Ora 1st Instagram

      20. Rita Ora

      Surely it wasn’t just us who was following a few fake Ora’s on Instagram, right? She finally saved us when “the real one” joined, and we’ve loved it since.

    21. Pharrell 1st Instagram

      21. Pharrell Williams

      While we should be admiring the sunshine and lush swimming pool, all we can see if that beanie. So THAT’S where his incredible hat game began.

    22. Cheryl 1st Instagram

      22. Cheryl

      “Back with my first true love”. Those were Cheryl’s words when she was reunited with the microphone, of course. We’re just happy about that 2002-style frame around the pic!

    23. Olly Murs 1st Instagram

      23. Olly Murs

      We seriously hope Olly Murs has kept ‘The Olly Wagon’. Imagine jumping on a bus to work on a chilly morning and that gorgeous face is there to meet you! Our heart would ACTUALLY skip a beat.

    24. Alessia Cara 1st Instagram

      24. Alessia Cara

      Alessia’s actual first post was one of those quote cards so we skipped one and went straight to this über smiley photo of Alessia’s knockout smile.

    25. Jesy Nelson 1st Instagram

      25. Jesy Nelson

      So. Damn. Stunning. Jesy chose a picturesque throwback photo of her and Perrie looking absolutely drop dead GORGEOUS! Seriously where can we get that polka-dot bow Pez?

    26. Leigh Anne Little Mix 1st Instagram

      26. Leigh Anne Pinnock

      Remember this guy? Whilst Leigh Anne was roaming around the country with her fellow X Factor finalists she took a sneaky Insta of Craig Colton.

    27. Jess Glynne 1st Instagram

      27. Jess Glynne

      This just goes to show that everybody starts somewhere! You know Jess Glynne right? The most Big Top 40 No.1s than ANY singer, yeah? Well THIS was her very first studio. #Inspiring

    28. Michael Clifford 1st Instagram

      28. Michael Clifford

      Michael went for a classic Myspace selfie. In the mirror, check! Big swooping fringe, check! Hoodie on indoors, double check!

    29. Zac Efron 1st Instagram

      29. Zac Efron

      Zac decided to show off his very own cover of Men’s Health. Well you would wouldn’t you. That day we all learnt that there is not a shirt on earth that can contain Zac’s muscles.

    30. Adam Levine 1st Instagram

      30. Adam Levine

      There is some serious band love going on in Maroon 5. Adam Levine chose to post up his very own rugged guitarist James Valentine. That hair though…

    31. Nathan Sykes 1st Instagram

      31. Nathan Sykes

      What a comeback and what a photo! We can’t help but feel a little happy about ourselves right now. The ‘Kiss Me Quick’ maestro chose his performance at the #CapitalSTB as his very first offering on Instagram.

    32. Calum Hood 1st Instagram

      32. Calum Hood

      Look how young and innocent young Mr.Hood looks in this! Aww, we just want to squish his little face!

    33. Olly Alexander 1st Instagram

      33. Olly Alexander

      The Years & Years frontman decided to go for a very artsy shot of some flats even adding in some hashtags, #Sunday and #Night. (we get a feeling these days he doesn’t need to hashtag his pics).

    34. Adele 1st Instagram

      34. Adele

      When the Queen returned to the music scene with her brand new album ‘25’, the industry had changed. So being the BOSS that she is, she opened up her very own Instgram account and released the first image of ‘25’ & it was stunning.

    35. Luke Hemmings 1st Instagram

      35. Luke Hemmings

      And just like that Luke gets one over on his bandmate. The 5SOS frontman even captioned it with ‘Haha’. The cheek of it all.

    36. Ashton Irwin 1st Instagram

      36. Ashton Irwin

      Ashton went all-out philosophical on us with this post along with the caption ‘#fath #love #peace’. What a guy!

    37. Sigala 1st Instagram

      37. Sigala

      Being the tip-top producer he is, Sigala’s very first photo posted on Instagram was his mate Fizzle laying down some fresh new tracks.

    38. Zayn 1st Instagram

      38. Zayn

      Let’s not pretend like this wasn’t one of the most exciting things to happen in 2015. After breaking away from 1D, Zayn premiered his brand new look with the cover of Fader magazine & it was magical.

    39. Louis Tomlinson 1st Instagram

      39. Louis Tomlinson

      We can’t even cope. Can you imagine if you were at Disney on that day. You’d be able to meet Pluto AND a member of One Direction #LifeMade

    40. Brooklyn Beckahm 1st instagram

      40. Brooklyn Beckahm

      Just another day for ol Brooklyn. His first post ever was to promote his own fashion campaign! At 15 years old, we could barely get out of bed…
