Cardi B
Everybody needs a bit of Binderella on their timeline. Cardi isn't one to forget where she came from, and speckled between the eye-watering outfits and lavish purchases (both of which we're here for) are some touching reminders that she's still Bardi from the Bronx.

Jennifer Lopez
Jenny From The Block has always channeled a positive energy. Her Instagram feed is a hub of good vibes and well-wishes (and cute AF videos of her kids.) Also - she's on top when it comes to gym-spiration. Her abs alone are a reason to follow.

Kehlani
Spiritual mama Kehlani is a sparkling gem in the big wide world of Instagram. Her open, honest and accepting nature is what makes her feed such a warm, comfortable environment for her followers. Her positivity is infectious - and we'll miss her baby bump selfies when she welcomes her mini Lani.

From highlighting new talent in both music and fashion, to encouraging her followers to be more eco-friendly in trying a vegan lifestyle, Bey is here to open your mind to different ideas. And obviously, she's goals AF.
