25 of the Most Iconic Celebrity Selfies Ever
Double-tap!
Though celebrities are often photographed by the biggest names behind the lens, they're just like us in that they can't resist a good selfie session. Between the fact that you control the angle, the lighting, and your pose, what's not to love? If selfie'ing is wrong, we don't want to be right.
Of course, given that celebrities are...well, celebrities, their selfies have a tendency to go viral when they're posted. (We're just happy when ours switch from a list of names to 11 likes!) And over the years, more than a few celeb selfies have burned their way into their brain. You might forget homework every now and then, but you likely won't forget where you were when the below images were uploaded to Instagram. It's the important things in life.

Photo: Courtesy of @KimKardashian/Instagram2/26And then there was this photobomb by Kanye West. And the First Lady. And Kim Kardashian. We know.
Photo: Courtesy of @SelenaGomez/Instagram3/26Selena Gomez spoke the truth when she captioned this photo "this means we had good lighting."
Photo: Courtesy of @KendallJenner/Instagram4/26Kendall Jenner as a blonde barbie is still goals — even after she recreated this selfie at the Balmain show in Paris.
Photo: Courtesy of @obamawhitehouse/Instagram5/26Never forget that time Joe Biden took a selfie with his BFF, Barack Obama.
Photo: Courtesy of @Zendaya/Instagram6/26Zendaya's selfie was, is, and always will be highlighter goals.
Photo: Courtesy of @DDLovato/Instagram7/26Demi Lovato is famous for her #nomakeupmonday selfies, and her freckles usually make a darling appearance in the snapshots.
Photo: Courtesy of @GigiHadid/Instagram8/26Gigi Hadid captioned this mirror selfie with Kendall as a homage to their mamas — "Yo and Kris?" TBH, we can totally see it.
Photo: Courtesy of @shawnmendes/Instagram9/26There's nothing like a celeb's classic bathroom mirror selfie, courtesy of singer Shawn Mendes.
Photo: Courtesy of @YaraShahidi/Instagram10/26Yara Shahidi and Rowan Blanchard are BFF goals, and their LACMA date selfie was no exception.
Photo: Courtesy of @Perrieeele/Instagram11/26Perrie Edwards has her signature glam pose down — and it never gets old.
Photo: Courtesy of @KimKardashian/Twitter12/26Of course, Selfie Queen Kim Kardashian would make this list more than once. She practically broke the internet (again) with this nude selfie.
Photo: Courtesy of @JustinBieber/Instagram13/26Yes, that is a gold tooth in Justin Bieber's mouth. Yes, we stopped what we were doing when he posted the selfie to show it off. No, we're not over it.
Photo: Courtesy of @TaylorSwift/Instagram14/26You selfie with your best friends. Taylor Swift selfies with a kangaroo. You win, Tay.
Photo: Courtesy of @Zayn/Instagram15/26This face tattoo is, mercifully, not real — but oh, how freaked out we were when Zayn posted this photo and we thought it was.
Photo: Courtesy of @JBoyega_/Instagram16/26John Boyega is adorable. John Boyega and his nephew? Almost too much to handle.
Photo: Courtesy of @NickJonas/Instagram17/26And there it was. The Nick Jonas selfie that announced to the world that the former Jonas Brother was...hot?! (He is. He is very hot.)
Photo: Courtesy of @CameronDallas/Instagram18/26Cameron Dallas may have a Calvin Klein campaign to his name, but we still like the photos he takes by himself, of himself the best.
Photo: Courtesy of @ArianaGrande/Instagram19/26An Ariana Grande selfie isn't really an Ariana Grande selfie without a Snapchat filter.
Photo: Courtesy of @KylieJenner/Instagram20/26Most people take selfies. Kylie Jenner takes a photo of herself, turns it into a shirt, and then takes a selfie while wearing the shirt.
Photo: Courtesy of @kjapa/Instagram21/26Riverdale stars KJ Apa and Cole Sprouse play best bros on the hit CW series, but it turns out they're also awesome friends in real life too.
Photo: Courtesy of @VanessaHudgens/Instagram22/26Vanessa Hudgens hammed it up with a selfie video while cameras were rolling during Grease Live! — and then she actually posted it to Instagram. Multitasking.
Photo: Courtesy of @ShayM/Instagram23/26Shay Mitchell is stunningly gorgeous, so it's no surprise that her selfies would be equally as pretty. Still, that glow, tho.
Photo: Courtesy of @Beyonce/Instagram24/26Beyoncé sees your selfies and raises you one with Blue Ivy — and adorable bee stickers. You win, Bey. We bow down.
Photo: Courtesy of @kyliejenner/Instagram25/26We wish we were invited to this amazing Met Gala 2017 selfie. Hit us up next time, Kylie?
