Must-Follow Social Media Stars of 2016

by Emilia Petrarca

So many social media stars, so little time. How to pick who to actually follow? The personalities on this list have been bubbling up in the last year – one of them, Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis, is the progeny of an acclaimed actor; another, Hari Nef, recently notched a recurring arc on Amazon’s Transparent, and was tapped by Gucci to take over its Snapchat account during Milan Fashion Week. Then there’s Brookyn Beckham’s girlfriend, Sonia Ben Ammar. In 2016, they might actually blow up beyond their hundreds of thousands of followers. In their accounts, you can expect lots of selfies – usually with a famous buddy, like Rihanna – perfectly color-corrected snaps, and plenty of eye candy. Follow them now so you can say you knew them before they were (too) cool.
