The Savviest Celebrity Moms on Social Media, from Ms. Tina Knowles to Yolanda Hadid
Behind every great celebrity is a mother, and many of them boast just as many followers as their famous sons and daughters. Take Ms. Tina Knowles, for example, the mother of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, who has over one million followers of her own and loves to post glamorous selfies and revealing videos. Her daughters find her count a little embarrassing, but we can’t get enough of it. Of course, Kris Jenner is an obvious example, with over 17 million followers, but she’s actually spawned a clique of celebrity moms including Kathy Hilton, Nicky and Paris Hilton’s mother, who admits that it was Jenner who taught her how to take a selfie—and not her daughter. Our favorite mom friends, however, have to be Goldie Hawn and Melanie Griffith, who find the whole Instagram thing to be very funny. Here, 16 social media savvy moms to follow on Mother’s Day.
1Diana Ross, mother of Tracee, Evan, Rhonda, Ross and Chudney
Diana Ross may have once lost her fanny pack at a Marshall’s in Los Angeles, but she’s still a legend, and we have it on good authority that there isn’t a better mom daughter Tracee Ellis Ross could ask for. Also, like Ms. Tina, you have to call her Ms. Ross. No exceptions.
2Busy Philipps, mother of Birdie and Cricket
Honestly you guys? Busy Philipps is just a cool mom, and that’s a fact. Plus, she’s leaning so hard into her “mom who shares everything on social media” brand that she’s now hosting her own talk show.

4Jennifer Garner, mother of Violet, Samuel, and Seraphina
Jennifer Garner raises chickens, plays the saxophone, shares recipes of the meals she makes for her three kids, and narrates videos of ballerinas dancing on her Instagram, and if that’s not living your best life then what is?

Nancy Meyers, lover of turtlenecks and expensive kitchens, named The Parent Trap‘s dynamic duo played by Lindsay Lohan after her real-life daughters Hallie and Annie. Meyers also served as a producer on Hallie’s directorial debut, Home Again. That’s motherly love.
