Instagram does a body good! A successful model, actress and entrepreneur, Draya Michele’s curves and eye for what’s “hot” has served her well. The former basketball Wives star is the successful business owner of three clothing lines: Mint Swim, a swimwear collection; Fine Ass Girls, an urban girl’s clothing line; and Beige and Cocoa, her latest offering to mature and sophisticated women. A true testament BGM(Black Girl Magic). Her 7.5M followers, and countless brand partners, agree that there’s magic in her sauce …Do you?
A long time favorite on our own yearly Influencers lists, Aimee Song, from Song of Style, not only has 5.3M Instagram followers, she has also been one of the pioneers of building the digital brand partnership game. Now a New York Times Best Selling Author, the Los Angeles fashion maven is a world traveller who has transitioned from her original roots of meer fashion street style pics to a more lifestyle focused, wanderlust sort of feel.
With a staggering 8.2M loyal followers on her hook Camila Coelho is a true international sensation. Crowned as one of Forbes magazine 30 under 30, Coelho is a serious influential force in the fashion and beauty realm. This Brazilian beauty has taken the viral world by storm by sharing her daily routines and tidbits. Who knew one’s usually mondaine tasks could be so captivating?
Olivia Culpo @oliviaculpo
Former Miss Universe, in 2012, and Sports Illustrated model Olivia Culpo has touched many different facets of the fame vortex. Model, reality star, actress and now restaurateur, Olivia is no stranger to the flash bulbs of a camera. In a recent candid post to her 4.4M followers, the influencer got really “real” about her battles with depression, alcohol and eating when dealing with the spotlight of fame, perfection and living her life in a fishbowl scenario. Perfection isn’t always pretty and we are happy this influencer is sharing her personal stories which could help heal many.
