It's only two months into 2021, but dancer and social media personality Charli D'Amelio is already winning at Instagram. The 16-year-old is taking the social media platform by storm with her sun-kissed photos, throwback posts, and coffee-loving images, proving she has the perfect account.

Born in Norwalk, Connecticut, D'Amelio got her start in entertainment at an early age, beginning dance lessons at just 3. She practiced quietly until March 2019, when she created a TikTok account and quickly launched to viral stardom thanks to her viral dance videos, post with her sister, Dixie D'Amelio, and other videos. Her TikTok account now boasts more than 100 million followers, making her the most followed person on the social media platform. That stardom has led to appearances on talk shows, including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, attending Paris Fashion Week, corporate sponsors, and even a 2020 Super Bowl commercial. D'Amelio has also released a book, Essentially Charli: The Ultimate Guide to Keeping It Real, which, according to Teen Vogue, became a New York Times bestseller in 2020.

While D'Amelio is best known for TikTok, she has also made a name for herself on Instagram. Her account has garnered 37.8 million followers, with fans flocking to her page to see her new posts. Keep scrolling to see some of her 2021 Instagram posts.

Throwback Sunday

Speaking with Teen Vogue recently, D'Amelio admitted living life in the spotlight isn't always easy, admitting, "obviously all have our ups and downs. It's a difficult thing to understand, especially when you're in the beginning of this." She credited her family for keeping her grounded and helping her through those difficult times, explaining, "if I didn't have my family around to lean on and if we weren't all in this together, I think I would be a completely different person right now… I'm just so thankful to have them be such supportive parents when this is something so new to me, but also so new to them. And it's been difficult definitely, but just so thankful to have them and we all are here together at the end of the day."
