Be prepared to see a lot of those borders we used to all use, y’all.
Looking back at our own Instagrams, we tend to cringe, and that’s no different for these celeb instas.
RELATED STORIES
But we all learned how to make them much more aesthetic.
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa’s Instagram debut involved a wide-brimmed hat and some red lipstick — and some artful collaging.
Now, she’s left her Coachella-vibe style behind, favoring professional photography and perfectly chiseled cheekbones. She still posts adorable selfies, though.
Lady Gaga
Talk about a glow-up. Lady Gaga went from a low-resolution camera and bedhead to Hollywood royalty, complete with her own makeup brand, an Oscar nomination, and just an absolute ton of Grammys.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber was kinda into posting pictures of traffic at the beginning of the decade.
In between promoting his clothing line and posting music, Justin Bieber usually snaps pics with his wife, Hailey Bieber.
Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid kicked off her Instagram with an adorable shot and a very yellow filter.
Now, she professionally models, hangs out with Taylor Swift, and works with UNICEF on relief missions!
Chrissy Teigen
When Chrissy joined Instagram, she naturally used the opportunity to post a picture of John Legend.
These days, her Instagram is mostly her kids, her cooking, and sometimes John — if he’s lucky.
Ariana Grande
Ariana’s first Instagram post was a sweet shot of her grandpa, who was wearing some original Ariana merch.
These days, Ari’s Instagram has a strict aesthetic: no bright colors, lots of negative space, and tons of tour pictures.
Kim Kardashian
Kim was late to the Instagram game compared to her sisters — while Kendall and Kylie had theirs in 2011, it took Kim until 2012 to get hers.
Her first post? A Kim you’d never see today, tbh.
Britney Spears
Britney didn’t run her own Instagram account back in 2012 — someone posted her pictures for her, including this shot of she and Demi Lovato.
Now, Britney devotes a lot of her Instagram to posting outfits and pictures of her kids.
Kylie Jenner
At the beginning of the decade (okay, 2011), Kylie Jenner joined Instagram by posting a single snap of a fireplace on a rainy day.
Now, she has 154 million followers, and spends most of her time snapping pictures of her incredibly expensive outfits. Oh, and Stormi.
Drake
At the beginning of the decade, Drake was just getting used to flying his family and friends on private jets.
Now, he has 62 million followers, own his own brand, and is actually still a huge Toronto Raptors fan, tbh.
Beyoncé
Beyoncé’s first Instagram post was a post in support of Barack Obama’s Presidential run.
The queen of not captioning anything, Beyoncé almost exclusively posts multiple shots of her various wardrobe choices. Also, Jay-Z is there sometimes.
Zendaya
How cute is Zendaya’s first Instagram post? She posted that picture with her Shake It Up! co-star in 2012, and it is adorable.
These days, Zendaya is slaying the game. She’s a red carpet darling, an accomplished actress, and a talented fashion designer.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s first Instagram post was a vintage photo of her grandmother, who it turns out she looks a lot like.
Taylor’s 2019 vibe is more of a cozy cat vibe, with a side of photoshoots and snaps of her fans.
Kendall Jenner
Kendall’s first Instagram post of the decade involved a trip to Disneyland.
Now, she’s a model, and her Instagram is full of pictures of the various photoshoots she’s done, as well as all her famous friends.
Demi Lovato
Demi’s first Instagram post was a plea for everyone to watch The X-Factor in 2012.
Demi is an award-winning recoding artist now. Her Instagram is a good mix up photoshoots and selfies…oh, and she has over 78 million followers, too.
