When it comes to celebrities on social media, Chrissy Teigen is the best of the best. Through good times and bad, it feels like Teigen always knows what to say and, even better, she knows how to say it in a way that it makes for an instantly relatable post on Instagram or Twitter. Sadly, recent drama with food writer Alison Roman has Teigen taking a break from Twitter — so while we mourn the loss of new content (for a while!), we’re looking back on her greatest hits to get us through.
Teigen’s knack for distilling the absurd parts of life into the perfect post has made her a social media icon, with fans tuning in for everything from family updates and cooking advice to political commentary and epic shutdowns. To honor this true queen of social media, let’s take a look at some of her greatest hits, from blowouts with President Trump to thirst traps, clapbacks, and more.
1. When she tracked down her own boobs in TheFast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
“My boobs are in fast and the furious Tokyo drift. I sat on the floor with 200 people in a parking garage in downtown la,” she wrote. “They pulled me to be “girl getting out of car”’and the shot ended up cutting off at my face as they panned up my body. Lmao. can someone find it? I dont wanna have to watch it but its a parking garage scene and I believe the boobs are in a pink bra.”
And what do you know? Within minutes, someone had the shot.
2. When she revealed the perfect way to seamlessly touch up a photo you don’t like

3. When she trolled John Legend over his Sexiest Man Alive title
“[T]he sexiest man alive just made me a ham sandwich,” Teigen bragged on Twitter.
4. When she got real about deep conversations with toddlers
“I just tried to have a talk with Luna and said ‘hey. I just want you to know that you’re a really awesome daughter. I’m so lucky,'” Teigen wrote. “And she said ‘what if my name was poo poo pee pee’.”

6. When she embraced the Daily Mail‘s attempt to shame her
Teigen screenshotted a Daily Mail headline reading: “Chrissy Teigen locks herself in a room to get some ‘peace’ from her crying children while on a family vacation with John Legend.” As a caption, she wrote: “Hell yeah.”
7. When she perfectly responded to President Trump calling her John Legend’s “filthy mouthed wife”
“[L]ol what a pussy ass bitch,” she wrote. “tagged everyone but me. an honor, mister president.”
8. When she updated us on the adventures of Peanut Butter the hamster

“Luna and I bought a hamster today,” Teigen first wrote. “Her name is peanut butter. John is not thrilled, which makes me love her more.”
A few days later, her affection had cooled: “They told us we can feed her anything. My mom said, ‘rice?’ And they go, ‘no, not rice…They also said ‘don’t really touch her for a week. Then touch her a lot or she’ll bite you’ it’s very confusing, being a hamster mom.”
And finally, the inevitable: “welp the hamster got out. just what you all told me would happen.”

On Saturday, Teigen ruled social media not with humor but with powerful words. Holding infant son Miles, she addressed the crowd on the important concerns surrounding immigration and later, with this very casual reflection on the day, reminded us all how cool she is.

Teigen never misses an opportunity to roast her husband, John Legend, on social media. Recently, she nailed it when she reminded everyone of Legend’s resemblance to the cartoon character Arthur while snapping a cute shot of Luna.

Teigen knows her memes and isn’t afraid to hilariously embrace them, even when they make her the target.

Teigen will go to any lengths to get the best photo, but that doesn’t mean she won’t gripe about it like the rest of us — and that’s why we love her.
