Top 15 Snapchat Models to Follow in 2024

While Snapchat was initially popular among teenagers, a lot has changed since it was developed in 2011. Since then, there have been many improvements and new features have been introduced, such as the ability to upload videos and store favorite Stories as Memories. 

As of January 2023, approximately 20.5 percent of Snapchat's active user base worldwide consisted of males aged 18 to 24. In general, 18.3 percent of global Snapchat users were females within the same age bracket.

Though, finding female celebrities who use the platform can be tricky. Compared to other social networks, it can be difficult to find celebs to subscribe to unless you have their Snapchat username. To make it easier for you, here is a list of models to follow on Snapchat. While most of these models still have bigger followings on Instagram, if your target market is millennials, Snapchat is a good place to share those snapshots. 


Top 15 Snapchat Models to Follow in 2024:


1. Josephine Skriver-Karlsen (@jojoskriver)

Josephine is a Danish model and LGBTI activist. She is well-known for her work for Victoria’s Secret. In 2020, she was also one of the models for the 2020 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.  

On Snapchat, she loves to play around with filters. Selfies that she shares will for sure get the heads turning and buttons clicking. While she is one of the top models to follow on Snapchat, her real following is on Instagram where she has more than 8.7 million followers. 


2. Gigi Hadid (@itsgigihadid)

Gigi Hadid (aka Jelena Noura Hadid) is one of the top Snapchat influencers to follow. Modeling clearly runs in the family. Her mother is a former Dutch model and both her younger siblings are also models. 

Her earlier work included modeling for Guess (both as a child and an adult). Since then, she has been featured on a number of magazine covers, including Elle and Vogue, and also appeared in editorials for the likes of Sports Illustrated and Vanity Fair. In 2016, she received the International Model of the Year award at the British Fashion Awards. 


3. Bella Hadid (@babybels777)

Bella Hadid (aka Isabella Khair Hadid) is the younger sister of Gigi Hadid and one of the top models and influencers to follow on the platform. This American fashion model comes from a diverse background and mainly shares selfies and photos of her friends on her account. 

She has been modeling for almost a decade. In 2014, she made her first appearance in New York Fashion Week. Then, similar to her sister, in 2016, another breakthrough came her way when she was voted as the “Model of the Year” by Models.com. 


4. Joan Smalls (@joan_smalls)

While Joan’s following is smaller than many of the other models in this list, she is a good model to follow if you would like a quick look into the life of a model. Hailing from Puerto Rico, she was the first Latina model to represent Estee Lauder when she signed a worldwide campaign with them in 2011. That following year, she also won Model of the Year at the Style Awards. Other designers and fashion houses that she has worked with include Prada, Gucci, Alexander Wang, and Yves Saint Laurent to mention only a few. Her name and beauty have also landed her a role in John Wick: Chapter 2 and in a number of music videos.


5. Niykee Heaton (@niykeeheaton)

Niykee Heaton (aka Nicolet Aleta Logan) has close to million subscribers on Snapchat. Though, it is not by means of modeling that she has made her name. She is better known as an American singer and songwriter who went viral on YouTube after uploading videos of acoustic lullabies. She also started her own brand, NATURYL BY NBK, in 2018. From leggings to dresses, her range of ultra-flattering, curve-conscious wear is designed to support and emphasize your best assets. 

On her website, she shares that it was impossible for her to find clothes that made her feel confident – the reason why she decided to start her own clothing line. Looking at the photos on her Instagram profile that has millions of followers, it is clear that she no longer has this problem. Dressed in skimpy outfits, she oozes confidence.

Her most popular video, What I Eat In A Day As A Model, boasts 13 million views. 

However, in an interview with People in 2020, she revealed that she battled with PCOS which she suspected was brought on by the constant pressure that her body was subjected to as a model. As a result, she started being kinder to her body by cutting back on high-intensity training and following a less restrictive diet. 


12. Jasmine Tookes (@jastookes)

Before Jasmine Tookes became one of Victoria’s Secret Angels, the American model was a gymnast. Though, it is not in the sporting arena where her talents were discovered.
