CELEBRITY LIFESTYLE Michelle Obama Is the Most-Followed Celebrity on Instagram by Interior Design Experts
Michelle Obama is many things to many people—an inspirational activist, a compassionate former first lady, and the bearer of an enviable set of toned arms. According to a new study conducted by Shutterfly, she is also the most followed celebrity on Instagram by interior design experts, with 5,451 of the 40,000 studied experts following her account. Other top performers include Lena Dunham (3,725), Rihanna (3,566), and Gwyneth Paltrow (3,562). Celebrities who also made the top 10 include Chrissy Teigen, Kendall Jenner, Reese Witherspoon, Alexa Chung, Gigi Hadid, and Kim Kardashian. The experts surveyed include everyone from influencers like popular interior designer Emily Henderson to interior design brands.
Though Obama doesn’t always (or only) post about the interiors of her new home—the couple and their two daughters are renting a house in Washington, D.C.’s Kalorama neighborhood—the former first lady’s account is full of shots from activities and events that she takes part in, as well as images of the Obama family. Most recently, Obama shared a photo of herself with Debra Lee and Valerie B. Jarrett at BET’s Leading Women Defined event, as well as an image of her and fellow former first lady Laura Bush at Dallas’s Bush Center exhibit, “First Ladies: Style of Influence.” When Obama does share images from inside their home, she usually opts for a personal touch, like the bouquet of flowers she received from Barack Obama on her birthday back in January.
