Who are the American hijabi influencers on Instagram? (fashion-only)
A Straightforward List of Top 50
Warning: This article is in development.
Many young girls aspire to become social media influencers, often inspired by those they encounter while browsing Instagram. And their fashion standards are often shaped by them.
Since I don’t have Instagram, I asked someone from my team to compile a list to identify these prominent figures. Although such a list may have its drawbacks—such as the possibility of inflating follower counts through purchased bots—it's important to understand who is impacting our Muslim youth.
My criteria were simple: Muslim, hijabi, over 10,000 followers, and primarily known for their social media on fashion.
We're specifically looking for influencers who focus on promoting fashion, rather than their job titles. This excludes individuals like Linda Sarsour or Dalia Mogahed. This excludes accounts like @thedoctormommy.
Initially, I expected to find hundreds of accounts, but surprisingly, we identified only 47 accounts with over 10,000 followers.
