Give a celebrity a camera and what do they do? All sorts of things: incite a riot of Halloween costumes, encourage cultural misunderstandings, show the world their less-than-made-up sides. That beautiful molotov cocktail of fame, adoration and a smartphone camera can certainly lead to some… well, interesting results. Stars—they're not just like us.

To mark this important, historical occasion, we combed back through our favorite celebrity Instagram accounts to pick the best celeb selfies of the year. Click through from the good (Mindy Kaling, Taylor Swift) to the not-so-safe-for-work (Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj) to the, uh, downright awesomely unflattering (Lena Dunham, James Franco).
