The best beauty Instagrams of the week centered on good hair and even better selfie game.

The Best Beauty Instagrams of the Week: Lupita Nyong'o, Zoë Kravitz, and More

Over the past week, the most noteworthy beauty-minded Instagrams revolved around a shared adage: Selfie game strong. Dakota Fanning found a ‘70s-inspired frame to show off her rumpled, post-braid blonde, while Lupita Nyong'o's self-facing lean was more dancerly in nature, championing barely-there makeup and the importance of a good mid-week stretch. Zoë Kravitz extended an arm to capture half-up, partially undone baby braids bound in a silk scrunchie, as elsewhere, model Amelia Rami paused to document some serious seaside respite, hers elevated by a cascade of braids and bleached brows.

Your weekly workout inspo came courtesy of Kate Hudson, who turned the camera on herself to record an all-out leg day—and show off the most romantic of exercise-ready updos. And while Lady Gaga and Jourdan Dunn's selfies revolved around glamorous detailing—a finishing swipe of lipgloss and a glowing complexion, respectively—for Kristen McMenamy, it was all about the hair. The model brushed up her silvered waves to luxuriously retro effect, upping the ante with a matte red lip. The lesson? Don't be afraid to turn the camera on yourself. No one can celebrate you like you do.
