It's nearing the end of the year and we're all feeling nostalgic for 2k15. It was the year that feminism went viral, we all got political for GE2015 and the polling stations had to explicitly ban people taking photos of themselves as they voted. It was also the year that Kim Kardashian broke the internet (a few times) and became a best-selling author of Selfish. It was, frankly, the year of the selfie. Taylor Swift does it, Barack Obama does it, the Pope does it; everyone does it. So, let's make like Kim and take a look back through yesteryear at all the wonderous selfies the internet has gifted us with this year.

2015 has been Taylor's year, undoubtedly. Here she is enjoying her Emmy win with her squad: 'If you need us, we’ll be taking selfies with the Emmy ALL DAY' she wrote. Is #EmmySelfie the new #Ocscar Selfie?
As Justin Bieber stormed social media to give himself a self-presecribed makeover, he cleverly posted a selfie with - possibly - the most loved woman in the world: Everyone's best friend, Jennifer Aniston. Jen and Justin do make a rather cute pair; the alliteration is to-die-for.
Of course, Kim Kardashian has to appear on our list (even though her younger sister Kendall overtook her in the running for most-liked Instagram pic). Here, she poses with presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton... And is that Kanye we spy in the background? Watch your back, Hillary, the rapper has made no secret that he covets your job!
Two of the biggest pop-super-starlets, Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus, combine forces here for a selfie in support of Miley's new venture - The Happy Hippe Foundation. Ari also posted the same selfie captioned: '#acceptance #love #happy #hippies thaaannk u @mileycyrus @happyhippiefdn for having me be a part of somethinnnnn so beautiful.' We also dig the matching onesies. Peace and love.
'SELFIE SWIM #summer #becauseimworthit #holidays #greece #selfieunderwatter #fishandfishface' Oliver Rousteing - the Creative Director of Balmain and best bud to the fashion label's adoring celebrity fans - has become the must have selfie accessory. Here, he proves he can go it alone.
'Early birthday lunch with @caitlynjenner Happy birthday dad what an amazing year for you.' 2015 was certainly up and down for the Kadashian/Jenner clan. Kylie takes a selfie with Caitlin here, showing her love and support.
This year was the year of girl love: womances, relationships, friendships, whatever - we're just really feeling the love that Cara so eloquently voices with this selfie.
There has never before been so much sass in a selfie. Ben Stiller may have just won 2015 with this shot of the cast of Zoolander 2 all giving it their best Blue Steel. Note: Penelope Cruz in the background has pulled it off.
