Instagram is the best way to gain a sneak peek into the lives of the rich and famous, but once you’ve scrolled through the high-end fashion, expensive cars and famous friends, it’s easy to forget that even Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift started from the bottom and now they’re here.
Nowadays the likes of Kylie Jenner and Miranda Kerr live and breathe Insta, but we’d like to show you their fascinating first uploads – and they’re NOTHING like the ones you see now.
Get ready to feel a whole lot better about the tuna and cucumber salad picture you just shared with your 138 followers #realtalk #throwbackthursday.
Chris Hemsworth joined Instagram this week and boy was it a doozy! “Hangin’ with the locals in my backyard… the real Jurassic Park!” he wrote. Yes that is a real-live snake #Straya.
David Beckham joined Insta this year ahead of his 40th birthday, and with shots like this, we are so glad!
Jessica Alba was clearly still trying to understand social media when she uploaded this sideways pic in 2012.
Kim’s first Instagram was BLURRY! There’s no way that behaviour would fly these days on her carefully managed social-media accounts.
Kate Hudson’s first pic was uploaded in June last year and she wrote, “Behind the scenes at InStyle cover shoot with @mrchrismcmillan @melaniemakeup Thanks for introducing me to Instagram! @instylemagazine #blowaway #glamsquad #happysummer.” She still loves a hashtag.
Guiliana Rancic’s maiden post was an artsy shot of her on a treadmill – how fitting!
Reese Witherspoon’s first upload is perfect – just like her adorable mum. “HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to my amazing mother! And all the wonderful mothers out there,” was the caption back in May 2013.
For years someone else pretended to be Rebel Wilson on Instagram, quite successfully, but when the Aussie star caught wind last year she made her real social media debut with this behind-the-scenes shot from Night At The Museum 2.
Modern Family stunner Sofia Vergara made her Instagram debut with a shot of her on-screen son Rico Rodriguez – so cute!
Kylie Jenner has made a career out of her Instagram posts, but pre-lip fillers she was just a girl who really liked horses. Her first upload was in November 2011.
Just in case you didn’t know, Margot Robbie got Instagram.
She holds the record for the most Instagram followers – but even Taylor had to start somewhere. Swifty’s first post was this pic of her grandma in October 2011, which she captioned, “Found this photo of my grandmother. So lovely.”
Victoria Beckham’s first ever photo-upload was some real talk about motherhood – and we love her for it.
In 2012, Miranda Kerr was clearly a fan of the ubiquitous Valencia filter.
