8 Hilarious, Quirky, And Totally Awesome Models You Need To Follow On Instagram
Photo: Courtesy of Instagram1/9Fact: models have the uncanny ability to make posing in front of the camera and walking down the runway somehow look effortless every single time — and they know how to get the perfect shot online, too. Although no matter how strong anyone’s #selfie game is, it can get stale pretty quick.
But if you’ve ever thought that models don’t have personalities, you’re about to get a very refreshing #nofilter perspective. Some of our favorite faces in fashion are crushing the pre-Instagram era stereotype one ‘gram at a time with their off-kilter humor, hobbies, and often hilarious photos. Scroll through and follow our list of the funniest models on Instagram, and between wishing they were your BFFs, try not to LOL too loud in public.
2/9Tilda Lindstam
Tilda Lindstam has walked virtually every major designer’s runway from Valentino to Calvin Klein. Off-duty, when she’s not working on her “baegoals” (get it?!), witty captions with puns, faces on tacos, and a whole lot of selfies with unsuspecting passengers on planes, are just a few of the giggle-inducing reasons to keep returning to Tilda’s feed — and you’ll wish she was part of your squad.
3/9Ali Michael
Strange, cool, and totally addictive are just a few words to accurately describe Ali Michael’s Instagram feed. Completely unfiltered, the CK One and Urban Outfitters model not only has a knack for taking so-awkward-it’s-funny-selfies, she captures the weird sights she sees in New York, and her experiences on set with a mix of diverse Spotify screenshots from Justin Beiber to ‘90s alternative rock bands like Nine Inch Nails thrown in for good measure.
4/9Binx Walton
When she’s not busy brooding as part of the cool-girl army in Alexander Wang’s Fall 2015 campaign, recent Teen Vogue cover star Binx Walton is Instagram’s reigning Emoji queen who also has a penchant for superhero masks, posting the best memes, and all-around-goofy behind-the-scenes photos with her model friends.
5/9Georgia Hilmer
Modeling isn’t all about designer clothes and makeup. Okay, so it is most of the time, but for Chanel and Saint Laurent model Georgia Hilmer, it means balancing castings and runway shows with chilling with “all her friends in bed.” Georgia is also a student at NYU, and a photographer who cleverly documents her college days on her Instagram feed alongside backstage photos and beautifully shot scenes from her excursions throughout the city.
6/9Grace Hartzel
Anime, manga, and vampire fangs make up the quirky world of Grace Hartzel, the current face of Calvin Klein Collection. Her Instagram is a practice of duality by bringing her love of the Japanese cartoons to life with screen caps of her favorite characters and emojis, alongside photos from her latest campaigns. One scroll through feels like a crash course in the art with Grace as your guide.
7/9Issa Lish
In front of the camera, Issa Lish is known for edgy editorials and being a member of Alexander Wang’s girl gang, but on Instagram Issa is far from the too-cool-for-school persona she takes on for work — plus she’s a super talented artist. Cute animals, funny memes, and pixilated selfies are a few of Issa’s favorite things, which she documents alongside her amazing sketches.
8/9Ruby Aldridge
Although she’s modeled for Valentino and Marc by Marc Jacobs, Ruby Aldridge is an anti-selfie pro, and wacky poses — sometimes with inanimate objects as props — fill her Instagram feed. Her model pals also make frequent guest appearances providing further zaniness, including Ali Michael who’s always there to help Ruby “keep cool.”
9/9Julia Cumming
Julia Cumming isn’t just a muse for Saint Laurent, she completely embodies Hedi Silmane’s brand. As the bassist and singer of the best band you may not have heard yet, Sunflower Bean, Julia’s Instagram feed of runway shots and photos with the band is nexus where rock'n'roll and fashion collide. We’re convinced she may just be the coolest 19-year-old alive.
