Ellen DeGeneres a hit on social media with fashion week pic: Starcount
US comedian Ellen DeGeneres is on Starcount's global social media chart for the second week in a row, thanks to a Photoshopped picture that became the most-liked Instagram post of New York Fashion Week.
On September 5 DeGeneres posted a doctored photo of what looked like her walking in a Betsey Johnson runway show accompanied by the caption "I love New York Fashion Week. #NYFW." The image was liked by 217,000 people and got a second round of buzz this past week when web analytics firm Curalate named it the most popular Instagram image of NYFW.
The talk show host was talked about 2.2 million times on Facebook over the course of the week, thanks to the photo plus a slew of buzz-making segments on her daytime program, including a clip of a sing-along of "Let it Go" from "Frozen" with Kristen Wiig, a dance-off featuring Kevin Hart and Josh Gad, and an interview with Kaley Cuoco of "The Big Bang Theory."
