15 Famous I Woke Up Like This Selfies That Made Us Seriously Envious
There are probably few people among us who would raise their hands to say that they look amazing when they first wake up in the morning. If you're anything like me, then you probably stumble out of bed with lines on your face and bags under your eyes, and then battle to function until you get your morning cup of coffee (oh caffeine, you wonderful thing). However, there are some people who look flawless, even first thing in the morning, which is why everyone is so impressed by their “I woke up like this” selfies.
As Beyoncé once sang in her song, “Flawless:” I woke up like this/ I woke up like this/ We flawless, ladies tell 'em… ” and the celebs on this list are doing just that by proving how you should be completely comfortable without makeup. From models like Cindy Crawford and Gigi Hadid, to singers like Jordin Sparks and Lady Gaga, these are just some of the people who are fortunate enough to wake up looking gorgeous.
Below are 15 famous selfies from celebs whose first pic in the morning gave us envy, and although we may secretly curse them for looking so fresh, they're also total #goals and give us the inspiration to share photos of ourselves, sans makeup, too.
15 Gigi Hadid's Morning Look Is Total Goals
I love celebrities “I woke up like this” selfies, because they prove to us that first, they are just like the rest of us, and secondly, it teaches women to embrace their natural beauty and reminds us that we are all beautiful without makeup -- even if you don't look quite as good as Gigi Hadid.
Gigi Hadid looks amazing in the morning. Seriously, this image looks like it could be at home inside one of those glossy fashion magazines, with a model advertising a really comfortable duvet, and awesome pyjamas. Yes, Hadid is a model and she can make most things look good, but she's total goals when it comes to “I woke up like this” selfies, too.
Like girl, how?! Oh to be 22 again!
14 Megan Fox Slays When It Comes To No Makeup Selfies
Megan Fox is not one for social media, and while other celebs like Kim Kardashian and her family regularly take to Instagram to share selfies and rack up their followers, Fox, on the other hand, figures she has more important things to do. So, when she took to Instagram to post her first-ever selfie in July of 2014, of course, the world took notice.
And because your first selfie should be a good one, Fox decided to make it a makeup free photo of herself in her dressing gown. Apparently, she is not wearing any makeup and there is no filter on the photo either, and I have to say, she has some really great eyebrows (I'd like the number for the person who sculpts and tints these beauties).
13 Miley Cyrus Looks Surprisingly Innocent
Miley Cyrus went through a phase where she was all about the wow factor, and by this I mean she wanted to drop a lot of jaws with her actions and her eccentric outfits (which also included a lot sequins). So, after seeing her adorned in sparkles for so long, a photo like this made a welcome change.
Cyrus took to Instagram to post a photo of herself in bed in 2015, and she looked sweet and innocent, sort of like the Cyrus that the world knew prior to her 2013 MTV VMA performance with Robin Thicke and that awful foam finger.
The little white flower clips in her hair add a girly touch, that, combined with Cryus' youthful complexion, make for one of the sweetest morning selfies I have ever seen.
12 Cara Delevingne Proves She's Just As Gorgeous Without Makeup
There's no makeup lie here, Cara Delevingne really does look this good when she wakes up in the morning!
Delevingne has made a name for herself because of her poses in front of the camera, so of course, she's very comfortable having photos taken of herself. But the photos are even better when she's taking them of herself, because then she usually likes to pull funny faces and allows her personality to shine through.
And the reason this photo deserves a spot on this list is because, like Beyoncé, Delevingne's cute pose makes us love her even more. This snap is so relatable because it looks as though she isn't quite ready to get out of bed, because bed is just too good, and I'm sure most of us could agree with that feeling.
11 Bella Hadid Racked Up The Likes With Her Selfie
Two Hadid sisters on one list prove that this family of models have fantastic genes, and they are ridiculously good-looking, even when they wake up in the morning. Bella Hadid's bed selfie is fantastic: She has youth on her side, and her skin looks clear and dewy, but I also want to bring attention to her lips, which are a lovely natural shade of light pink.
Being a supermodel, you may think that she would want to look her best at all times, and therefore not be comfortable without makeup on, or dressed up, but Hadid is not like that. It seems she is completely comfortable with herself. Then again, she has every reason to be, and it's no wonder this photo has more than 100,000 likes!
10 Lady Gaga May Be A Mother Monster, But She Looks Like A Princess
Lady Gaga has toned down her look in recent years, but she was once a pop star who used to gain a lot of attention for her eccentric, and sometimes downright crazy outfits and makeup choices. After all, this is the very same woman who made headlines for wearing a meat dress. Gross.
Fast forward a few years, and Gaga is, dare I say it, a bit more “normal,” and she decided to take to Instagram to share a photo without any of her signature makeup looks to thank her fans for being awesome. And although she's a mother monster, there is definitely nothing ghoulish about her look without makeup!
It was a smart move to pose au naturel and with her hair super messy, because if she wants to thank her fans for their support, it makes sense to do it in a way which could potentially encourage them to be comfortable in their own skin.
9 Bar Refaeli's Bed Selfie Makes Me Hate Her, Just A Little
How is it possible to look this beautiful when you wake up? Bar Refaeli is a model, actress, television host and a businesswoman, but what fascinates me the most, is just how good she looks in the morning, sans makeup, even if she does have great genes.
I don't look my best first thing in the morning (I'm definitely not a morning person) so when I say I hate Refaeli just a little for this selfie (note the header), what I really mean is I'm incredibly envious of just how perfect she is! Those eyebrows, the light pink color of her lips, and her beautiful blue eyes still stand out, despite not having any makeup to enhance them. I guess if this photo proves anything, it's that some people get all the luck!
8 Kylie Jenner Looks Fresh Faced And Dewy
The youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kylie Jenner, has been making headlines in recent months for speculation that she may or may not be pregnant. But I am more interested in her selfies.
Jenner has blossomed into a beautiful young woman, and when she took to Instagram to post a snap of herself lying in bed, in what looks like an incredible room because just look at that ceiling, I can't lie, I felt a pang of envy! There's just one small problem with this image because if you look closely it seems that Jenner may be wearing false eyelashes. It's possible that they are eyelash extensions and she can't remove them for her snap, but if that is the case, then this bed selfie is sort of like cheating, right?
7 Monday's Wouldn't Be So Bad If We Woke Up Looking Like Ashley Tisdale
No one likes Mondays, because it marks the end of the weekend and the beginning of a new week, so it's understandable that for most this is the absolute worst day. Well, unless you're Ashley Tisdale!
I think we've already established that I wake up with my hair all over the place and lines on my face from my pillow on a Monday (seriously, the weekend is not long enough), but Tisdale, on the other hand, looks fresh. So fresh, that I'm left wondering how she does it. You can also see in this photo that she's not trying to trick us by wearing a little gloss, and she doesn't have false eyelashes.
The only thing that's left to say is this: If I looked even half as alive on a Monday morning as she does, then I don't think I would despite the first day of the week quite as much.
6 You Can't See Much Of Miranda Kerr's Face, But She's Adorable
Miranda Kerr is a model, so she's meant to look good most of the time, but even without makeup she impresses me. And I think by this stage of our list you already know that I wouldn't be mentioning her if she didn't have a hugely popular “I woke up like this” photo.
Kerr took to social media to let fans into her bedroom when she decided to post a photo of herself in her bed wearing what looks to be some really comfy pyjamas.
She may have chosen to filter this photo and cover much of her face, but that's OK, because the real reason Kerr has made it onto this list is that her photo, like a few others, is so relatable. When you look at this image you can immediately relate to the sheer joy of being in bed (and I so wish I could spend all day in bed binging on Netflix)!
5 Sleeping Beauty Got Nothing On Heidi Klum
Have you ever wondered what celebrities look like without any makeup, or the sort of photos they take in bed? Well, if you have, you're in luck, because Heidi Klum is just one of several stars who decided to share her morning selfie with the world.
Heidi Klum is a former supermodel, so obviously she's a stunning woman, but she also proves that without makeup, she is just as flawless as she is when she's all done up. The only thing I wish she had changed about this snap is her decision to filter it and change the colors to black and white. Still, it's a lovely photo, and she decided to share it on a Monday morning, and considering Mondays are the absolute worst day of the week, this photo probably provided a lot of people with a tiny bit more happiness.
4 Everyone Wishes They Were Cindy Crawford's Pillowcase
Heidi Klum is not the only former supermodel who decided to share her morning selfie with the world, because so too has Cindy Crawford, who, as you'll see, sleeps on pillowcases embroidered with her initials. But it's not just her fine taste in linen that makes this photo interesting, but also the fact that she looks stunning first thing in the morning.
Unlike other celebs who try to trick us when they say they are wearing no makeup, you can see that Crawford really does have no makeup on in this snap, and her complexion is flawless. Also, I think it's safe to say that every person looking at this post now wishes that they could be Crawford's pillowcases, because wow, who wouldn't want to be close to that pretty face?!
3 Jordin Sparks Is All About Natural Beauty
It's only the third entry on this list and already it seems a little unfair how good celebs look first thing in the morning, I mean, are all these people morning people? Does no one have a late night or work into the early hours of the morning?
OK, back to the subject at hand: Jordin Sparks is probably one of the nicest people in the entertainment industry, but she's also one of the best-looking people. And there is no exception when it comes to her appearance first thing in the morning, as this selfie she shared on Instagram proves. Beautiful skin? Check, stunning smile? Double check! Actually, it's her smile that I, and so many of her fans, love the most about this picture because she looks so happy and carefree.
2 Beyonce Makes Bed Look So Appealing
Beyoncé's Instagram is one of the best celebrity accounts because she posts everything from high fashion photos, to cute selfies, and this one falls into the latter category. Beyoncé looks adorable in this photo, and her pose makes me think of all the times when I was a kid and my mom opened the curtains to try and let the sunlight in, and get me out of bed. Her look is also sort of “no, not the sunlight” look, and she nails it.
And the thing that makes Beyoncé's photo so great is that she is willing to show her 110 million Instagram followers what she looks like first thing in the morning, and while it's not as glamorous as she usually appears, it's natural, and that's even more beautiful.
1 Gabrielle Union's Freckles Are Amazing
This photo is probably one of my favorites photos of Gabrielle Union, and the reason is partly that she looks really youthful and pretty, but also because I love that she chose to skip the foundation (well obviously) and show off her freckles for an “I woke up like this” photo.
Although she is not in bed like all the rest of the celebs on this list, she is wearing a robe and looks as though the snap was taken early in the morning, before she got dressed. Another good thing about this photo is that Union chose to draw attention to her freckles by captioning the image with, “Well hello freckles, it's been a minute.” Could she get any more perfect? Let me answer that for you, no!
