There’s no escaping it: the ‘ring shot’ is practically a rite of passage when it comes to getting engaged in the era of social media.

In fact, it’s become such a thing that it’s sparked the rise of the ‘engagement manicure’ (no one wants to debut a diamond sans nice nails, after all).

And proving they are often just like us, A-listers aren’t immune to wanting to show off their new sparkling accessory on the grid either, with Instagram sending many a celebrity engagement ring into our feeds over the years.

From Vanessa Hudgens to Kim Kardashian, Sophie Turner and beyond, keep scrolling to see some of the best celebrity ring shots in Instagram history.
