#Belfie Queen Goes High-Fashion; LVMH Announces Young Designer Finalists

#Belfie Queen Goes High-Fashion: In January, 20-year-old Jen Selter rose to Instagram fame thanks to her large behind. Dubbed the Queen of the Belfie (also known as butt-selfie), Selter (and her behind) have become huge—she's signed a contract with The Legacy Agency, appeared on the likes of The View and Good Morning America, and has partnered with CIRRUS Fitness. Now, Selter and her booty have gone the high-fashion route, with a new two-page spread in the April issue of Vanity Fair. Titled 'Rear Admirable,' the social media phenomenon poses in a lacy Louis Vuitton catsuit in one photo, and a tight, black corset (butt-exposed) in another. [Racked]
