It used to be that to find out what your favourite star was doing on Christmas Eve, you’d need a ladder, a telephoto lens and a really good alibi. That’s all changed since old mate Kevin Systrom invented Instagram, with our beloved celebs now volunteering the kind of imagery a paparazzi photographer would die for. Revel in your Boxing Day hangover/bloatedness with our round-up in the best holiday snaps from people more famous than you.
Kim Kardashian posted a photo of her as a child to prove that she has had the fashion industry on lock since day dot.
January Jones rocked double prints and still looked like approximately 1 million dollars.
Kris Jenner is not feeling so crash hot this morning.
50 Cent swagged out his son. As you do.
Hugh Jackman basically won at life.
Beyonce set the bar high by toasting with what is presumably her husband (but could also be a Russian secret service agent) somewhere in the Nordic regions. This is how Queen Bey holidays, everyone. Also note the casual helicopter in the background. Bow down, snowmen.
Having already featured in Hugh’s ‘gram, Taylor Swift decided to focus on her Rolling Stone ranking instead.
Standard WTF moment from Miley Cyrus. It would have actually been more shocking if she wore regular clothing.
Mariah Carey; still more authentic than any pop star who got famous in the ’90s.
Britney Spears rocked family flannel like it was 1992.
Paris Hilton was surrounded by good genes, sound business decisions and terrible role modelling aka her family.
Barack Obama, meanwhile, continued to prove that his family was descended from the original Alpha male.

Naomi Campbell definitely had a better Christmas than you, thanks to old mate Steffano Gabbana.
James Franco literally would not shut up about The Interview, but then he decided to cover his grandma in silly string and that’s as good a place to wrap as any.
Happy Boxing Day y’all.
