Call us social media obsessed, but the moment we realize we're gaining followers on Instagram, we get a bit giddy. We feel stylish, witty, and, most simply put, cool — until, of course, we head over to Gigi Hadid's page. Just this year alone, the model gained a whopping 16 million followers, leading the pack in terms of popular fashion-related accounts. What other industry favorites had people eager to get a glimpse into their lives? Read on to find out whose numbers soared in 2016.
Gigi Hadid

Selfies, cute babies, model best friends, and bikinis — there are so many reasons to follow this gorgeous Baldwin babe.
Bella Hadid
Number of Followers Gained in 2016: 5.8 million
Bella Hadid is pretty much the queen of black bikinis and '90s style. Without her photos on our feed, we'd have way less outfit inspiration.
Emily Ratajkowski
Number of Followers Gained in 2016: 5.7 million
Emily often takes her followers along with her on her travels, and while she loves those sexy pics, she also shares tons of throwbacks — including those of her stylish mama!
Victoria Beckham

Aside from updating us on store openings, her newest collection, and upcoming collaborations, VB can get silly, too. She'll pose like Posh Spice or share sweet shots of her kids, but we really enjoyed the post where she wore Ugg slippers with Eva Longoria.
Chrissy Teigen

Taylor Hill
Number of Followers Gained in 2016: 3.6 million
If you don't follow Taylor Hill, then you might not know about her model siblings. Or her model dog, Tate. Or that she sometimes matches outfits with her blond model bestie, Romee Strijd. There's just so much happening on this girl's 'gram!
Candice Swanepoel
Number of Followers Gained in 2016: 3.5 million
Before giving birth to her baby boy, Candice was all about sharing her maternity outfits — and we couldn't get enough of them! Now that Anacan is here? She's definitely a fashion-forward mom.
