Model Chrissy Teigen's Instagram account is loaded with images of friends, food, fashion and travel — but only a few selfies. Teigen recently told InStyle magazine that she prides herself on not filling her feed with photos only of herself. "I think Instagram is about being able to see things through the lens that you have, so it's nice to be able to keep that lens outside and show off what you're doing and where you are rather than turning the camera around on yourself," she said. "Selfies aren't worth the stress for me — it seems like there's so much work that goes into perfecting them now."
