Redheaded icons you should be following in 2023
Instagram, the app we could all scroll on for hours on end. But whose content should we be waiting for? Personally, I love my feed to be full of redhead inspiration.
Here are some iconic gingers that you can relate to and follow as they share their successes, music, fashion choices, and travel tips.
Up first is the one and only, @AlexinaGraham.
Alexina Graham was the first natural redhead to walk for Victoria Secret. She was a Victoria Secret Angel who worked alongside Kendall Jenner and the Hadid sisters, Bella and Gigi. Currently, Alexina is signed with Elite Model World Agency. On her page, she shares her latest shoots and campaigns, showing off her ginger locks on the cover of many magazines. If you also want to find out the latest fashion trends and watch motivational home workout videos, then Alexina Graham is your girl.
Next up is the Nashville sensation, @LukeCombs
Luke Combs is often referred to as ‘the King of Country music’. Luke Combs is a singer-songwriter who grew up in North Carolina – he is a Country boy through and through. He is usually wearing a cap, with a guitar hanging across his body, and showing off his ginger beard. His song, ‘Beautiful Crazy’, is his most popular track that propelled him into the spotlight. His albums are full of songs that are essentially stories of life, love, and loss. Luke is currently on his world tour, which ends on 20 October at the O2 in London. To keep up to date with his latest music and album releases, give him a follow.
Of course, it’s one of our favourites: @StaceyDooley
Stacey Dooley is an investigative journalist for the BBC, a TV presenter, and a media personality. On Instagram, Stacey Dooley shows off her unique wardrobe, which is a complete contrast in comparison to most of the journalists we see. She occasionally rocks a chunky framed pair of sunglasses, mules, baggy jeans, and a funky jacket.
On her social media page, Stacey gives us an insight to what her life is really like, being a working mum, caring for her newborn, and filming documentaries. She also regularly shares her opinions on the latest news stories, recommends second-hand clothing businesses, raises awareness of social justice topics, and shows her support for those struggling with their mental health.

Football legend @PaulScholes, is next.
As many of you will already know, Paul Scholes was a midfielder who played for Manchester United for 20 years. During his time at the club, Scholes scored over 150 goals. He also played for the England team and scored 14 goals overall. Having helped Manchester United win the Premier League in 2013, Paul Scholes retired.

Funny, fashionable, and redheaded. It’s @LilyBrown.

Not only does she share her life in Melbourne, but she promotes beauty and clothing brands that are best for us gingers.

Lily is best friends with Shani Grimmond, and Michael Finch – who are also YouTubers and social media sensations. Her Instagram stories are entertaining, and her posts are great for fashion inspiration.
Last, but definitely not least, @ShawnWhite.
