KYLIE MINOGUE 

With one million Instagram followers and record sales topping 70 million, Kylie, 47, has mastered the art of the seven poses a celebrity needs to strike for maximum publicity.

You have to look good (even in bed), be prepared to show off your assets, promote yourself shamelessly, prove you work hard to stay in shape and don the swimwear to prove it. 

And last, make your fans covet your luxury life as you globetrot in style.

 

MYLEENE KLASS

Hardly the shy, retiring type, Myleene, 37, posts incessant pictures of herself to her 113,000 followers looking gorgeous.

Photos shared of her include the singer-turned-model being seemingly caught unawares while sleeping and endlessly promoting her swimwear range - by wearing it, naturally - as well as her other work projects.

 Surely she must have more bikinis than there are beaches? 

 

KELLY BROOK 

Whether it’s swimwear or lingerie, you are never more than a few days away from a shot of Kelly, 35, in her smalls.

Her modelling past means she has got the seven magic poses down to a T — and they usually involve revealing more than a modicum of cleavage.

Kelly seems to guess what her 507,000 Instagram followers want, and we all know a picture can paint 1,000 words.

 

TAYLOR SWIFT

With a jaw-dropping 45.6 million followers spread all across the globe, when Taylor, 25, posts a picture on Instagram, there can be no question that the entire world sees it.

Naturally, the pop star, who is dating Scottish superstar DJ Calvin Harris, has perfected her strike-a-pose formula.

Taylor makes her carefully choreographed Instagram pictures appear spontaneous and a little amateur - the skill of a real professional.

 

 RIHANNA

Just one glance at the 27-year-old’s Instagram page and there’s no doubting this girl is worthy of her reputation as a global party animal.

With 25.5 million followers, don’t be fooled — she works her seven poses hard to grab headlines. 

And with a body to die for, she knows how to show it off.

The Umbrella singer is almost always wearing next to nothing in nearly every shot she chooses to share online.
