The Best Celebrity New Year's Eve Instagrams
Honestly, we can’t say we’re incredibly sad to see 2016 go, which means that celebrating the arrival of 2017 will be extra special. And if you’re still trying to decide how to ring in the new year, you can always look to your favorite celebrities to see how they get down when the ball drops. Even the super-famous aren’t immune to the cheesy delights of those tiaras and noisemakers!
Which of your faves go all out for New Year’s Eve and who decides to forgo to the sparkly dresses and fancy parties for a quiet evening at home? Who decided to fly far, far away and celebrate the dawn of a new 365 days in a tropical paradise? We can turn to Instagrams from years past for answers. Some celebs choose to post thoughtful selfies instead of party pics, while others show off their New Year’s dresses.
