Revealed: the top celebrity influencers
Celebrities all over the globe are an endless source of inspiration for everything beauty and fashion-related. Admiration often turns into emulation, and a new study can today reveal that Kylie Jenner is officially the world’s most influential celebrity!
The research, run and published by RY, offers an interesting insight into global beauty ideals. The study analyses Google search queries to reveal the most loved and copied celebrity beauty looks and today's top celebrity influencers.
The Research: How To Spot The Influencers
RY made a list of 232 global celebrities, the most buzzed in glossy magazines of the likes of Allure and Glamour. Then, it put together the most typed queries on Google and combined the two lists to cover a full year. The research found which stars have the biggest influence in our quests for hair and makeup inspiration and more.
The Top 10 Most Popular Celebrity Looks
Kylie Jenner wins the round for the most popular and copied look. It does not come as a surprise; Kylie's look with her signature nude plumped lips made her fortune. Following, we can find Ariana Grande and Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer Aniston - who arrived in our houses as Rachel Green in Friends - is an astonishing example of fresh beauty over 40s.
Top 3 Most Popular Celebrities For Hair Inspiration
Jennifer Anniston is the top global hairstyle inspiration with her effortlessly healthy honey-gold locks. Follows Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande with her superbly sleek ponytail.
Top 3 Most Popular Celebrities For Makeup Inspiration
Kylie wins once again for the most popular makeup on Google. On a rushed morning, her nude makeup all about glowy skin and luscious lips is a successful choice. She can sport both natural and full glam looks but - it is not a secret - her lips are behind Kylie's empire with her Kylie Lip Kits. Ariana Grande arrives second with her cat-eye flick and glossy lips; while Selena Gomez arrives in the third position with her warm beauty and down-to-earth presence. We have no doubts, her makeup brand, called Rare Beauty, will reach the top globally.
Top 3 Most Popular Celebrities For Skincare Inspiration
Rihanna's glowy skin gives her the crown as the most popular skincare celebrity. The Barbadian singer is not simply known for her inimitable voice but also for her clean skin. Her cosmetic brand, Fenty Beauty, offers a chance to reach that perfection. Jennifer Lopez seems not to feel time passing. Now in her 50s, JLo can show a superb silhouette and a flawless complexion. She shares her secrets for dewy and younger skin with fans and the public with JLo Beauty. This time, Kylie Jenner settles for a third position with solely 50,000 searches every year for her skincare tips.
Top 3 Most Popular Celebrity Beauty Inspiration From The Past
The research also looks into the not-so-far past with a chart crowded with Hollywood actresses. The most influential of all is, of course, Marilyn Monroe with her iconic bombshell look.

Celebrity Style Choices To Follow
Emma Watson
Unsplash.comEmma Watson amazed us all in her role as Hermione in the Harry Potter series. She recently turned 30 years and it’s hard to believe that she was only 11 years old during the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. She is already a member of the board of Kering, the fashion giants behind Gucci.
Unsplash.comEven at the age of 51, Jennifer Aniston continues to influence our fashion choices. She has been one of Hollywood’s most stylish celebrities since the 90s when she took the spotlight after featuring in the show “Friends”.
Jay Z
Unsplash.comYou wouldn’t be wrong if you say that Jay Z is the richest rapper of all time. His net worth is over $1 billion. Most successful billionaires will go public in their sharpest suits. But not Jay Z, he can simply turn up in a sports snapback, a black t-shirt, and a pair of roomy black pants. Sometimes he may also include a slightly loose black blazer or trench coat. However, he wears some of the most expensive watches in the world.
You too can stand out with an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak as worn by Jay Z. While making a deal with NFL in 2019, he wore a Concept Carbon Royal Oak watch. This is an all-black watch forged out of carbon with titanium screws for a shiny touch. To afford this watch you may need Bruce Wayne’s credit card…but a good watch can be seen as an investment, as they often don’t loose much value over time, and some even grow in value as they age if they are looked after well.
Celebrities have deep pockets and are capable of keeping up with the newest trends. You can keep up with them by following their social media pages such as on Instagram and Twitter to get some fashion inspiration.
