Long before VSCO was proclaimed king of photo-editing apps, Instagram’s default borders and filters were not only acceptable but were actually pretty cool. Truth be told, even our local celebrities seemed to think so. If you still don't believe us, how about we take a digital stroll down memory lane? Below, check out their very first IG uploads:
Kathryn Bernardo
The Teen Queen’s first ever IG snap was with child star Bugoy Carino. Evidently, other than her appreciation for cute little kiddos, she also had a thing for the Nashville filter and its corresponding border.
Kim Chiu
Remember when this chinita princess introduced her stallion friend, Lagunara, to her followers? He must be really special to Kim given that it was her very first Instagram upload.
Anne Curtis
Being a foodie that she is, Anne’s first snap was her “brekky in bed”—bordered and edited using the high contrast Hefe filter.
Bea Alonzo
Want to cop Bea’s first ever #selfie upload? Unfortunately, Instagram’s Toaster filter has already been phased out.
Nadine Lustre
The first on Nadine’s to-do list when she signed up on Instagram? To send her followers a virtual kiss!
Kim Jones
Miss Jones is well known for her colorful and meticulously-curated grid. But lo and behold, her first upload—a bordered photo of an adorable little girl, edited using the Toaster filter.
Erich Gonzales
Her Instagram feed may now be flooded with cheesy moments shared with her boyfriend Daniel Matsunaga, but her first snap ever was a selfie with her one-time leading man, Mario Maurer.
Georgina Wilson
As if we need more proof of their friendship, we discovered that Georgina's first post on Instagram was with her “bestie” Solenn Heussaff. Aww!
Julia Barretto
Also a fan of bordered images and Instagram’s old Toaster filter, Julia’s first upload was this edited photo of her mom while cooking in the kitchen.
Coleen Garcia
Did you know that Coleen was a Pond’s girl, too? Yup, this poster of her was the first snap she shared on Instagram—in Brannan filter and with a black border, no less.
