The 20 Most Liked Pictures on Instagram
Of all the things to break a record for, the most liked picture on Instagram (given that there are now a billion monthly users, and 3.5 billion likes per day) is probably one of the biggest challenges.
You need a following (check out who has the most Instagram followers here). You could (debatably) do with some photography skills. You want to (again, debatably) have something worth taking a picture of.
As we’ll see in the list of top pictures, not all of the above are totally necessary, but they’ll help. So, here goes.
The 20 most liked pictures on Instagram
* If you’re not a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo or Kylie Jenner you may find this list distressing.

One of the most famous football players in the world grabs another spot in the list, this time celebrating his return to Manchester United.
13. Kylie Jenner and Stormi reigned for a while
And again, Kylie Jenner is back on the list.
She’s bossed Instagram, there’s no doubt about that. And she held the record for the most liked Instagram picture for a fairly long time (341 days) with this post, too.
Then along came the egg. She was knocked off her top spot by a picture of a literal egg. While her post remained in second place for a long time after that, it's continued to drop further down the list since.
12. Billie Eilish with blonde hair I
Taken just a few days after her post revealing her new hair style, this post was carried into the list on the popular waves of the original revelation.

5. Billie Eilish and her British Vogue photoshoot III
Out of all of the British Vogue photos Eilish posted to her Instagram, this one is by far the most popular. If things continue, it could climb higher up this list.
4. Billie Eilish with blonde hair II
This post has become incredibly popular in such a short time and is Eilish's last post on this list. That means she has the most entries out of anybody, and with quite a margin too.
3. XXXTentacion’s last Instagram post
This was the last post from rapper XXXTentacion before his death in June 2018.
It’s actually the only picture on his Instagram feed.
Eerily, a music video was released posthumously in which the rapper attends his own funeral.
2. Ariana Grande gets married to Dalton Gomez III
Wow, this post skyrocketed to second place in an incredibly short time. Another Grande post, and even more photos from her wedding.
1. An egg.
This picture of an egg cracked Kylie Jenner’s Instagram record by a long shot, with over 50 million likes at the time of writing.
The world_record_egg account began a campaign to set the world record for the most liked post on Instagram, and it was an invitation people just couldn’t turn down.
The account was successful, and didn’t need to build much of an audience to do it, either.
The cheeky egg even got a response from Kylie herself.
There was a lot of speculation about who was behind the egg, and as time went on the egg began to crack.
Literally, it posted pictures of itself cracking.
The big reveal came during the Super Bowl when it was revealed Hulu had partnered with the egg to raise awareness around mental health.
