As 2019 comes to a close and we plan our New Year’s Eve Instagram captions, it’s time to reflect on the best Instagrams we saw from celebrities this year. It was a big year for babies, with Hilary Duff and Meghan Markle both giving birth to little bundles of joy, Kylie Jenner sharing plenty of pics of her sweet daughter, Stormi, and nieces Chicago and True. 

There were plenty of weddings and engagements, too! Justin and Hailey Bieber had their much-anticipated wedding ceremony, Nick Jonas shared throwbacks to his wedding to Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Jennifer Lopez blinded her followers with snaps of her new diamond ring from fiancé Alex Rodriguez. Plus, celebs like Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato got real with unfiltered and unedited selfies that were pimple perfect and "celluLIT.

Click through the gallery to see all of these and more of our best celebrity Instagrams of 2019.

1 / 50

Jennifer Aniston

The Morning Show star practically broke the internet when she posted this photo of the whole Friends cast reunited as her first-ever Instagram.


Beyoncé

Mona Lisa, who? The “Halo” singer and husband JAY-Z pulled double duty, congratulating Meghan Markle on her pregnancy and shouting out Black History Month with this photo in front of a regal oil painting of the Duchess of Sussex.


Jessica Simpson

No one can seem to forget (though they wish they could) this photo the fashion designer snapped of her heavily-swollen foot during her third pregnancy.


Lizzo

The “Juice” singer strutting through the airport in her Marc Jacobs Met Gala coat as she tries to catch a flight is the kind of energy we’ll still need in 2020.


Hailey Bieber

The newlywed called her (second) wedding day to husband Justin Bieber “the most special day of my life.” No doubt her Virgil Abloh-designed dress and custom veil had a lot to do with it.


Kim Kardashian West

There was no celeb Halloween costume more notable than the reality star channeling Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star -- who just so happens to be studying for her law degree -- even filmed a shot-for-shot video of Woods’ Harvard application tape.


Kylie Jenner

Don’t they look like little dolls?The beauty mogul posted the sweetest photo of daughter Stormi and nieces Chicago and True to her grid, captioning the photo of the similarly-aged cousins, “triplets.”


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared their first photo as a family with baby Archie on their @SussexRoyal account.


Shawn Mendes

What came first, our love for the “Senorita” crooner or his Calvin Klein photos? Hard to say…



 


Brie Larson

She’s more than Captain Marvel -- she’s also a Jedi! But for real, the Oscar winner looked awesome posing with a purple lightsaber at ACE Comic Con.


Rihanna

She may not be appearing in the movie musical Cats, but the fashion icon looked very cheetahlicious in her all-over animal print look.


Kylie Jenner

We will never get over this Dazed Beauty cover of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star! Her makeup was done by artificial intelligence, making her look super glam and trippy.


Gigi Hadid

The model’s hilarious Halloween costume had us green with envy that we can’t look half as good with our faces a normal color.


Selena Gomez

The “Lose You to Love Me” singer was a vision during a boat ride in Italy. She totally nailed “looking like a Fellini film,” as she put it.


Lady Gaga

We practically had to wear sunglasses to look at this snap the Oscar winner posted of the massive Tiffany & Co. diamond necklace that she wore to the 2019 Academy Awards.


Hilary Duff

The Younger star and fiance Matthew Koma introduced their daughter, Banks Violet Bair, to the world via this sweet Instagram.


Selena Gomez

The Dead Don’t Die star kept it real and relatable with her followers by posting a no-makeup selfie from bed.


Miley Cyrus

The “Slide Away” singer loves her godmother so much! Cyrus posted this IG of her and Dolly Parton’s 2019 GRAMMY Awards performance of the country icon’s hit, “Jolene.”



 


Nick Jonas

The newlywed posted this romantic latergram from one of his three wedding ceremonies with wife Priyanka Chopra Jonas, melting hearts from New Jersey to Jamshedpur.


Brie Larson

The Avengers: Endgame star’s throwback really captures the glory of early aughts fashion and beauty. Tiny tank? Check. Low rise skirt? Check. Shoulder bag? Also check!


Kacey Musgraves

The GRAMMY winner turned this tiny Los Angeles photo studio into a tourist destination after she posted these dreamy snapshots to her Instagram.


Cardi B

The “I Like It” rapper won Paris Fashion Week when she confidently posed in front of the Eiffel Tower in a head to toe Richard Quinn look.


Lil Nas X

The only thing cuter than the “Old Town Road” rapper? His two new puppies, 7 and 9


Nick Jonas

The youngest JoBro took a silly “school picture day” photos for his and brother Kevin and Joe Jonas’ Paper magazine photoshoot.


Taylor Swift

To promote her single, “You Need to Calm Down,” the GRAMMY winner rocked a massive (temporary) back tattoo of butterflies exploding from twisted serpents.


Bebe Rexha

The “Last Hurrah” singer posted this sizzling photo in response to a male music executive who told her she was “too old” to be sexy.


Kevin Hart

The hilarious comic recreated this classic ‘90s photo of his BFF Dwayne Johnson for Halloween 2019, and it was everything!


Chrissy Teigen

She may not think she can be “cute,” but we think Luna Stephens is the cutest kid thanks to all the zany videos and pictures mom Chrissy Teigen posts to her Instagram.


John Legend

The “All of Me” singer’s side-by-side comparison of himself in 1995 with last year’s People’s Sexiest Man Alive, Idris Elba, gave us quite the chuckle. (For the record, they’re both pretty sexy!)


Ariana Grande

The “Break Up With Your Girlfriend” singer was all smiles as she posed with music legend Barbra Streisand.


Post Malone

The “Sunflower” rapper ditched his sad boy vibe to radiate joy in these wildlife pics where he’s petting a cheetah and feeding a giraffe.


Justin Bieber

We’re obsessed with this throwback the Canadian crooner posted of the first time he ever met his wife, which was during his “Baby” era.


Jennifer Lopez

The only thing more stunning than ARod’s beach proposal to J.Lo was her engagement ring.


Katy Perry

This was the year Swift and Perry officially buried the hatchet. The singers commemorated the momentous occasion by baking friendship cookies.


Demi Lovato

The “Sober” songstress posted this unretouched photo of herself to Instagram, calling it “celluLIT” in hopes of inspiring others to appreciate their bodies for the way they are.


Maude Apatow

We can hardly believe this photo of the Euphoria actress is real! Apatow and her beachy background both look stunning.


Jordyn Woods

The reality TV alum debuted a cropped cut and sunny smile in her first pic after all that Tristan Thompson drama.


Emily Ratajkowski

This close-up of the model shows off the delicate freckles on the bridge of her nose and also the massive rock on her ring finger.


Bella Hadid

The model was the ultimate Catwoman for Halloween, posing in her shower in her black latex look.


Keke Palmer

The Hustlers star took her mom to Paris, but instead of taking a picture in front of the Mona Lisa, they posed in front of “this other random white lady,” who one of her followers pointed out might be Marie Antoinette. Palmer’s response? “Sorry to that woman.”


Ariana Grande

Grande’s Vogue cover shot featured the singer on the beach wearing a gown and a chicly-oversized black sun hat as her pup, Toulouse, sat draped over her legs.


Mariah Carey

The “Obsessed” singer proved that she is the queen of all kingdoms -- even fictional ones -- by posing on Game of Thrones’ iconic iron throne.


Miranda Lambert

The country star struck a sultry pose in front of some 45s while promising her fans that something good was coming.


Jane Fonda

Ever the advocate, the Grace and Frankie actress rocked a “phenomenal mother” T-shirt to support a reunification program for families separated by detention and borders.


Reese Witherspoon

The Big Little Lies actress looked thrilled to be holding a baby goat during a shopping trip with son Tennessee. “I met a baby goat today... But I was very chill about it. #NBD ?,” she joked.


Nicole Kidman

The Bombshell star posted a photo of the whole Big Little Lies cast in their season two ‘70s getups, and it gave us major boogie fever!


Billy Eichner

The comedian embraced Michelle Obama at an event for Better Make Room, a Gen Z-driven organization for aspiring college students.


Tracee Ellis Ross

The Black-ish star was the epitome of summer chic as she sat in a lawn chair while rocking visor shades and a sunny yellow one-piece.


Mindy Kaling

The Mindy Project star did her best Victoria Beckham impression for Instagram while rocking white stilettos heels and a neon green Balenciaga sweater.


Shawn Mendes

This photo combines all of our favorite things: avocados, abs and Mendes.
