As one of the Millennial “social media supermodels”, Kendall Jenner has undoubtedly accelerated her successful modelling career with the help of Instagram.

Even one of the original supermodels’ Cindy Crawford recently admitted to being “jealous” of the tools at the disposal of models today. “I’m so jealous because I feel they have this direct way to communicate with their audience that my generation didn’t have,” she told Cosmopolitan.

However, Jenner has now suffered a setback in her reign as Queen of Instagram by being overtaken for having the most likes on a photo.

The 20-year-old scored the most likes on a picture sporting herself with “heart-shaped” hair in 2015, overtaking the previous title-holder - her sister Kim Kardashian-West’s photo of her wedding to Kanye West.

Jenner's photo has now been overtaken by Justin Bieber whose throwback of him and ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez kissing has amassed several thousand more. Both photos reached over 3.5million likes.

The “Sorry” singer sent fans of the former couple - dubbed “Jelena” - into hysteria with the recent throwback. This was further spurred when Gomez reportedly commented on the picture: “Perfect”.

Gomez is also the most followed person on Instagram, currently sharing her photos with 77.7million people.
