The most memorable twitpics & selfies of 2013
We've had the iconic, the cute and the provocative this year - which of these snaps do you remember?
Badgalriri/InstagramIf 2013 was about anything, it was posing so who better than to kick-off our favourite selfies of the year than this pair. Cristiano Ronaldo was snapped with Rihanna on her Diamonds World Tour – and the battle of the posers began.
Gisele Official/InstagramGisele Bundchen delighted us this year with some adorable snaps of her kids but this one of her and daughter Vivian doing yoga together, made us melt in particular.
Perrie Edwards/InstagramThe new way to announce your engagement: not with a publicist or a Hello! shoot, but with a candid ring shot on Twitter. Perrie Edwards showed us how, after confirming her engagement to Zayn Malik.
Cara Delevingne/InstagramNo prizes for guessing why this raunchy shot of Sienna Miller and Cara Delevingne went viral after the Met Ball.
Justin Bieber/InstagramJustin Bieber reminded us that Twitpics can land you in hot water, when he posted this snap of his graffiti on an Australian hotel’s wall. While the hotel were happy with the singer’s motif, the Gold Coast City Council were less impressed: "The city has a zero tolerance approach to graffiti," a mayoral spokesman told the BBC. "The mayor will contact the hotel to say that if Justin Bieber does not want to use the free graffiti removal kit left with him, then the hotel is expected to use it.” Ouch!
Channing Tatum/TwitterIt wasn’t just selfies doing the rounds this year; we were also treated to a number of A-list baby shots, which left us, frankly, with a bad case of broodiness. Case in point: Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan’s beautiful snap of daughter Everly.
Kendall Jenner/InstagramYou couldn’t hide from the Kardashians on social media in 2013… even when they headed on holiday. Kendall Jenner gave us a dose of the green-eyed monster with these Kardashian holiday pics, from their cruise of the Greek islands.
How Harper Seven Beckham thawed the heart of even Anna Wintour we’ll never know, but this photo, which did the rounds during Fashion Week, is proof of it. Maybe US Vogue is going to be getting a new (very young) cover girl soon.
Instragram/CampXRayA rare appearance on Instagram (and the only one we’ve spotted this year) from none other than Kristen Stewart - and just look at that smile too! The actress was snapped with her Camp X-Ray co-stars Lane Garrison and Peyman Moaadi.
Poppy Delevingne/InstagramSienna Miller and Poppy Delevingne made us feel even more jealous by arriving at Glastonbury via helicopter.
Harry Louis/InstagramMarc Jacobs knows how to celebrate turning 50… By showing off his incredible six-pack on the beach.
James Franco/InstagramAll we want for Christmas is a James Franco in the buff calendar like this one from Ellen DeGeneres.
Ryan Gosling/InstagramThe photo came out of the tragic news that Ryan Gosling was planning to retire from acting this year. At least he gave us a flash of that stubbly chin for posterity.
Stella McCartney/InstagramStella McCartney and Gwyneth Paltrow put on an impromptu photo-shoot of Stella’s bikinis, when they were holidaying in the Hamptons this summer. As you do.
Kris JennerAs soon as she was born, there was mounting speculation as to how and when Kim Kardashian and Kanye West would introduce North West to the world. In the end, the tot made her debut on grandma Kris Jenner’s TV show, before being re-tweeted excessively.
Kim Kardashian/InstagramJust when we thought all the buzz around Kim Kardashian, Kanye and Baby North was dying down a bit, KK went and posted this belfie (bum selfie) and promptly watched Twitter go into virtual meltdown.
2013 has also been a year of changing hair: Beyoncé was just one of those who took the plunge, debuting this bleached pixie crop, a firm favourite among the stars, on her Instagram.
Camilla Mackintosh/InstagramMillie Mackintosh put her Made In Chelsea days firmly behind her when she tied the knot with rapper Professor Green. And doesn’t their wedding snap look like something out of a fairytale?
Calvin Harris/InstagramRita Ora and Calvin Harris couldn’t hide their love this year, especially over social media. We were treated to a number of arty snaps, as the pair documented their romance for their millions of followers.
Rihanna/InstagramSocial media has a lot to answer for… like 2013’s trend for Grillz.
Jessica Lowndes/InstagramJessica Lowndes and Thom Evans were another couple who couldn’t resist PDA-ing their love with their followers. Shame it all came to an end when they split.
Ed Sheeran/InstagramTaylor Swift seems pretty impressed by Ed Sheeran’s clowning around. It didn’t do much to dampen those dating rumours, either.
Hayden Panettiere/TwitterThe GLAMOUR Awards had plenty of classic Instagram moments but our favourite was Hayden Panettiere trying to open her handbag.“How many blondes does it take to open a Jimmy Choo clutch?” Two by the looks of things!
Miley Cyrus/InstagramPlenty of people dressed up as Miley Cyrus for Halloween but the lady herself paid homage to another controversial VMAs star, wearing rapper Lil’ Kim’s 1999 breast-baring outfit.
Nicole Richie/InstagramNicole Richie, Jessica Alba and their pal dressed up as the Three Amigos for La Bamba, complete with sombreros and fake moustaches.
One Direction/InstagramOne Direction weren’t slow at jumping on board with the teeth-brushing selfies this year.
Lea Michele/InstagramWhen her boyfriend Cory Monteith died from a drink and drugs overdose, Lea Michele thanked her fans on Instagram. “Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support. Cory will forever be in my heart.”
Kelly Osbourne/InstagramTaylor Swift, Kelly Osbourne and a friend whipped up a storm in the kitchen with these homemade Whoopie pies.
Cheryl Cole/InstagramThe Duck Face became a legitimate trend in 2013 as the great and the good posted snaps of themselves sucking in their cheeks, tilting their head and pouting to kingdom come. Check out Cheryl Cole mastering “the pucker and the perch”.
