This year, Celebrity Instagram documented some ma-jor moments.

Weddings: With over 2.4 million “likes,” Kim Kardashian’s marriage to Kanye West was hard to avoid the hype – the dress, the kiss, the… everything.

Scandal: Deemed too racy, Instagram “accidentally” disabled Rihanna’s account after a series of ass, nipple, and you name it photos became the daily fix of her 13 million + followers.

Sex: The return of JLo’s booty!

Parties: From Madonna’s x-rated party with Kate Moss to Ricardo Tisci’s star-studded affair, we saw it all.

Love: Whether unconditional love for their kids (Blue Ivy and North), jobs, friends, or partners the celebs have no problem sharing their PDA’s these days.

Balmain Campaign Scores the Hottest Model Cast… EVER!

The Spring 2015 campaigns are here… and Balmain has scored the hottest model cast… EVER!

With his BFF list stretching from the Wests to Victoria’s Secret Angels and RiRi, there’s little doubt that Olivier Rousteing is one of the coolest cats in town. He took hold of the reigns at Balmain in 2012, and has brought with him youth, energy and sex appeal to the French fashion house like no other.

For Spring 2015, Rousteing sealed his title as one of the edgiest designers around, casting world class models Adriana Lima, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Joan Smalls, Isabeli Fontana and Crista Coba as his collection starlets, pictured by Mario Sorrenti. Scroll to watch Kendall Jenner and Rosie walk the Spring 2015 collection in Paris.

The Balmain Army, as they are dubbed, are pictured surrounded by Nintendos, junk food and lounging in front of the TV. However, in Balmain’s world they do so dressed in bondage-style dresses and Mondrian-inspired leatherwear. Check out all the hot looks from the new campaign.

“This is the new Balmain army and the game is on!” says Rousteing of his latest collection.

Sexiest Models of the Year, Midnight Hot

They make major bucks and major bookings! FashionTV looks back at 2014 and presents its list of Sexiest Models of the Year!

Adriana Lima

With fourteen Victoria’s Secret shows, two kids and one of the highest earning model salaries in the world, Brazilian beauty Adriana Lima has scored some of the biggest model contracts to include beauty range Maybelline and of course Victoria’s Secret. She has earned the title as No.1 Top Sexiest Model by models.com as well as FHM Sexiest Woman 2012 and many more!

Gigi Hadid

A quintessential California girl with a laid back vibe and serious street style, Gigi Hadid made her mark in the fashion world in 2014, for if she was not gracing the pages of SI Swimsuit, or the CR Carine Roitfeld Book, then she was being pictured by Steven Meisel for the exclusive 2015 Pirelli Calendar (November girl). We suspect the year ahead has big things in store for Gigi!

Ana Beatriz Barros

With her sultry stare and hourglass curves, Ana Beatriz Barros defines sexiness wherever she goes. Whether she’s modelling for Intimissimi lingerie or gracing the cover of GQ magazine, Ana’s beauty and charm help define her as one of the hottest Brazilian sex symbols.

Alessandra Ambrosio

A force of nature in her own right, Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio has had a whirlwind career and is looking hotter than ever. She’s a red carpet favorite, ready to light up any catwalk and has earned her title as one of the sexiest models of 2014.

Candice Swanepoel

Reaching the Maxim 100 Sexiest Woman in the World No.1 spot is no small feat, and with her South African, girl next door beauty it’s little wonder. This year, Candice Swanepoel has reached the $4 million mark income and we expect 2015 will see yet brighter

Inside Taylor Swift’s 25th Birthday Party and More Celebrity Instagram

December has been a huge month for Taylor Swift, who stole the limelight for a second year at the Victoria’s Secret Show. But, Taylor had something of her own to celebrate this week… the big 25! Find out who she celebrated with, on Celebrity Instagram.

Beyonce, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Karlie Kloss and Chrissy Teigen where just a few of the high-flying guests helping Taylor celebrate the big 2-5, at her New York apartment. So, naturally, we thought we’d troll Instagram of her and her guests for a true insiders party peek!

And with the Holiday’s just around the corner, the celebs are celebrating with gala after gala. Rihanna hosted the first annual Diamond Ball Gala arriving in a festive Zac Posen gown and Chopard jewels, but instead of opting for the trending “trash the dress,” Rihanna decided to “strip off the dress,” posting a photo with her crew and gown thanking the team for their hard work!

The Story of Burberry, Weekend Special

This weekend FashionTV shines a spotlight on the brand that invented the trench coat, made Romeo Beckham a model star and is mad about music. It’s time to celebrate iconic British brand Burberry all weekend on FashionTV. Tune in for The Story of Burberry, December 12-14.

Everybody Loves Burberry

There’s little doubt that Christopher Bailey has revolutionised Burberry since his coming to the brand; with his designs, youthful energy and trend-setting vision pushing the label to become one of the most loved, by celebrities, models and fashionistas alike.

From his ready-to-wear and menswear collections to beauty and more, this year Burberry has already set the trends for a stylish 2015. Regular front-rowers at the shows include the world’s most Kate Moss, Harry Styles and Cara Delevingne (when she’s not gracing the catwalk).

About the Music

But Burberry is more than a brand, it is a lifestyle. Passionate about music, Bailey has designated an entire team to championing young musicians that he believes to be wildly talented. This has become a major feature of his recent collection shows with British singer-songwriters such as Paloma Faith, Tom Odell and Benjamin Clementine adding an original note to his shows.

Then for the campaigns!

Key British icons such as Sienna Miller, Cara Delevingne and Emma Watson have taken the spotlight in Burberry campaigns, which has helped to launch their modelling careers. But then there was ONE. Bailey decided to recruit mini-Beckham, by way of 12-year-old Romeo, to feature as the new star of the brand. In Spring/Summer 2013, Romeo featured in his first shoot for the iconic brand, and now, for the Holiday’s is the star of the show, which has already garnered over 8 million views on YouTube in less than a month!

Tune in to FashionTV all weekend, December 12-14 for our Burberry special! Watch LIVE.
