Kathryn Newton Tells Us the Stories Behind Her Most Talked-About Instagrams

When we first met Kathryn Newton—then a girl on the rise making waves with small-yet-memorable performances in Big Little Lies and Lady Bird—she told us the rules to a good fashion Instagram. Funny, then, that two years later, we meet up with the actress again, now a bona fide star racking up notable IMDB credits faster than you can say Pokémon Go—and the topic is still Instagram.

Chock-full of fashion selfies, A-list celeb cameos, and the best poodle content you ever did see, Newton’s ’gram (@kathrynnewton) is a lesson in social media done right. So during a whirlwind press tour for both Netflix’s The Society and Pokémon Detective Pikachu, we asked the actress to take us behind some of her most memorable posts, like that time she "met” Justin Beiber and the story behind the pink ruffle dress to end all pink ruffle dresses. After all, there is more to a photo than just its caption.
