You know the drill: it’s time for another round of “must follow” Instagram accounts. These are the brands, influencers, and celebs that we’ll devotedly double-tap ’til they post no-longer. I asked the Gossip Genie team to identify an account that truly sets their heart aflutter, and these were their answers:
Janelle:
@TheEllenShow— She inspires people and never fails to make me smile/laugh – her captions are always so clever and her pictures and videos always crack me up. She spreads feel-good vibes and messages of positivity! 😊
Anthony:
I like to follow @EntertainmentWeekly to stay up to date on movie/tv and pop culture news! 📽
Ashleigh:
I love following @Revolve! It’s a clothing company but they also work with a ton of influencers, so their Instagram feed makes it super easy to see their clothing line, but its also a fun way to keep up with popular influencers! It’s a good example of how to use influencers in a beneficial way. 👙
Violet:
I’ve had such a travel bug lately so I’ve loved following @Airbnb on IG because their photos are amazing. Plus, I love seeing all their different locations! ✈
Taryn:
I like following @Bumble even though I don’t use the app! They post really empowering quotes and I feel like they try their best to be progressive. Plus, they’ve done some really creative collaborations with influencers on the platform that I thought were very cool! 🐝
Me (Lizz):
It’s pretty hard to stand out with particularly great IG story content – there are just so many to sort through! SO that’s why lately I’ve been binge-watching IG comedian 👉🏽 @ChloeisCrazy and her hilarious Instagram story sagas. She’s a great example of someone who can creatively generate content out of small everyday events, and her storytelling skills can be emulated by brands or influencers who are hoping to connect humorously with followers.
Jacqui:
I love following Instagram accounts that are stunning visually from accounts like ours @teamgossipgenie to fashionistas such as @somethingnavy to nail artists like @astrowifey. Beyond the aesthetics, I love nothing more than a relatable meme that catches me off guard and makes me laugh unexpectedly. We can all appreciate @beigecardigan, @fuckjerry and @girlwithnojob for a daily dose of humor. There is no better humor than relatable humor, therefore right now my favorite account is @shittymommymoments. The posts always make me laugh because they are spot on while making light of the trials and tribulations of being a mom. 👶🏼
Keenan:
@NatGeo – I love street photography and the human stories that it creates. National Geographic is the pinnacle of that type of storytelling. Plus, one of my main goals is to one day be featured by them! 🐯
