The best fashion moments in all the four fashion weeks didn’t just happen on the runways but also on our Instagram feeds. Our favorite insiders snapped photos of models goofing around backstage; social media stars Eva Chen and Leandra Medine dished out a few witty captions, while Kendall Jenner was caught fangirling from the second row. These gave us us a glimpse of fashion week apart from the fashion: it’s funny and, believe it or not, real.
Consider this your access to the most glamorous event of the year—at least, that’s what Instagram affords us.
#1 Eva Chen
Ex-Lucky editor and now head of fashion partnerships of Instagram Eva Chen has seven Zorro-masked models in her squad—as it should be for everyone.
#2 Kendall Jenner
Even Kendall Jenner fan-girls from the second row, too. Here she is marveling over Vogue US editors Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington’s hair.
#3 Man Repeller
Perhaps the most important Instagram photo and snap is the final model walk. Leandra Medine captures the front row photo game perfectly.
#4 Bryan Boy
What? The humorously snarky Bryan Boy became emotional? Who knew it would just take a white horse on the runway to get those feels out?
#5 Dior
A cave-like structure in the middle of the Louvre served as Dior’s show venue. Thousands—yeah, no kidding—of blue delphiniums covered the whole setup inside and out! Now, if only Instagram could let us smell them.
#6 Derek Blasberg

Here’s editor and writer Derek Blasberg hanging out with CR Fashion Book editor Carine Roitfeld and Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci. He calls them Cinderella and Prince Charming—no, Beauty and the Beast, he jokes.
#7 Joan Smalls
Girl models just wanna have fun, too. What actually happens backstage is more posting, actually. Here’s a powerhouse photo with Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Doutzen Kroes, Lily Aldridge, and Lily Donaldson.

Model Gigi Hadid has finale walk goals, too. And she’s achieved it in a bikini.
#9 Kim Kardashian-West
Where’s the after party for Kim K? Definitely where Justin Bieber is at.
