As 2019 comes to a close and we plan our New Year’s Eve Instagram captions, it’s time to reflect on the best Instagrams we saw from celebrities this year. It was a big year for babies, with Hilary Duff and Meghan Markle both giving birth to little bundles of joy, Kylie Jenner sharing plenty of pics of her sweet daughter, Stormi, and nieces Chicago and True.
There were plenty of weddings and engagements, too! Justin and Hailey Bieber had their much-anticipated wedding ceremony, Nick Jonas shared throwbacks to his wedding to Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Jennifer Lopez blinded her followers with snaps of her new diamond ring from fiancé Alex Rodriguez. Plus, celebs like Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato got real with unfiltered and unedited selfies that were pimple perfect and "celluLIT.
