Happy National Selfie Day! (Convenient that it’s also the summer solstice — you’ll have ample time to capture yourself staring seductively into your camera lens, flooded in natural light.) In honor of the holiday/outgrowth of the (too much?) Information Age, join us in taking a look back at the best celebrity selfies of 2017 (so far). These professionally social-media-savvy folks are constantly upping the ante on our communal selfie game. From black-and-white reflections of their perfectly chiseled abs (Kendall Jenner) to sun-drenched professions of love (Selena Gomez and the Weeknd), 2017’s been a year of internet-breaking, forward-facing camera snaps.
Click through the gallery above for a dose of nostalgia and invaluable framing inspo. Remember: Selfies aren’t about narcissism — they’re about self-love.
