With her millions of Instagram followers (5.4 million at the time of writing, to be clear), comedian and actress Celeste Barber is slowly taking over the world.
Most of those followers would know the mother-of-two for her hilarious parodies of celebrities, where she mocks their ultra glamorous and unrealistic portrayal of women in social media. But she is so much more.
Celeste, InStyle Australia’s March cover star, tells the magazine that she wants to take her career to the next level. Her book Challenge Accepted! has been optioned for a TV series in America.
“I want my own show – my own Girls or Broad City,” she says. “I want to write, executive produce, generally boss it around.”

The former All Saints actress already boasts a fanbase of a number of Hollywood stars, receiving direct messages from Gwyneth Paltrow, emailing with Reese Witherspoon and chatting with Cindy Crawford.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me, because I should [get starstruck] but unless you’re a Spice Girl or Jennifer Hawkins because I’m obsessed with her, I don’t get intimated – I run at it and feel very supported in it.”
