Below, scroll through Zendaya's best selfies and learn six tips we've gotten from her feed, from the perfect pose to working with the weather.

Tip No. 1: Embrace the elements

Do not be afraid to face the sun or even the wind for a selfie. For some of our fave Zendaya snaps, the Spider-Man actor used natural lighting to capture an inner glow, which was enhanced by the outer glow of the sun. And in one instance, she even embraced the wind, standing in a gust to allow her hair to blow about effortlessly.

Tip No. 2: Capture your best looks

Don't be shy about snapping a selfie after you finish your makeup, get a haircut, or even find an outfit you love. Selfies are all celebrating you, and as Zendaya has shown, there's nothing wrong with wanting to strike a quick pose that showcases your inner and outer beauty. And don't forget, you can even get a quick picture in the midst of your makeup application process.

Tip No. 3: It's never too late to post a selfie

Got a #TBT selfie you never posted? Share it. Turn your fave photos into a "curated collection."

Tip No. 4: Don't be afraid of the back camera

Listen, we know that using the back camera to get a selfie can be hard, but Zendaya crushes it. Get a little artsy and try it for your next selfie, whether it lives on your main grid or briefly on stories.
