Five of the biggest up-and-coming social media darlings you've probably never heard of – until now, that is

If you&#39;re&nbsp;between the ages of 18 and 35 (thus making you an avid Instagram user), you already&nbsp;would have realized it by now: social&nbsp;media&nbsp;can serve as a real talent scout that can turn&nbsp;complete unknowns into Insta-celebs practically overnight.&nbsp;

Here, we shine the spotlight on five of the biggest&nbsp;rising Instagram stars who you&#39;ve probably never heard of &ndash; until now.

Sonia Ben Ammar (@itsnotsonia)

362k followers

The fresh-faced beauty owes her cinematic lineage to her&nbsp;father&nbsp;Tarak Ben Ammar, the famous&nbsp;French-Tunisian producer/mastermind behind&nbsp;Hannibal Lecter. Thanks to her debut on Instagram, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/itsnotsonia/" target="_blank">Ben Ammar</a> was scouted by IMG Models and is already a regular fixture in the fashion world. After all, who else can say that they are a Dolce &amp; Gabbana muse at just 18 years old? Oh, and did we mention that she&#39;s <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com" target="_blank">L&#39;Officiel Paris&#39;</a> covergirl this month?

She&#39;s probably better known as Jaden Smith&#39;s erstwhile girlfriend but who exactly is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sarahfuckingsnyder/" target="_blank">Sarah Snyder</a>? That part is unclear. All we know is that the aspiring model rose&nbsp;to social media stardom out of relative anonymity in a matter of months&nbsp;and now has&nbsp;Calvin Klein and Uniqlo ad campaigns under her belt. Pretty impressive, no?&nbsp;Synder&#39;s&nbsp;narcissistic approach to Instagram (read: selfies, selfies, and more selfies) is also refreshingly unapologetic.

Bonnie Strange (@bonniestrange)

471k followers

Her bio says&nbsp;&#39;model and a singer&#39; but in reality, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bonniestrange/" target="_blank">Bonnie Strange</a> is a modern-day Barbie who brings us&nbsp;back to the nostalgic nineties. No one is immune to her babydoll&nbsp;face and&nbsp;pin-up girl demeanour &ndash; including&nbsp;big makeup brands&nbsp;such as Yves Saint Laurent and Maybelline, who have crowned her&nbsp;as their new digital spokesmodel.&nbsp;

Alexandra Spencer (@4thandbleeker)

327k followers

Despite appearances, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/4thandbleeker/" target="_blank">Alexandra&nbsp;Spencer</a> is, first and foremost, a businesswoman. Followed by the who&#39;s who of the fashion crowd, she first rose to fame via MySpace (quaint, we know), then on <a href="http://www.4thandbleeker.com/" target="_blank">her blog</a>, and finally on Instagram, which she diligently uses to promote her label, R&eacute;alisation. All the cool girls love&nbsp;R&eacute;alisation (ie. Kendall and Bella) and so should you.

This fitness queen is proof that&nbsp;perseverance (and a hot body) is the key to Instagram success.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/tammyhembrow/" target="_blank">Tammy Hembrow</a>&nbsp;is an Aussie mum of two who isn&#39;t shy to share her&nbsp;passion&nbsp;for health and fitness on&nbsp;her Youtube channel, which boasts&nbsp;over 750k subscribers. But the real deal&nbsp;obviously lies in her rabid Instagram following&nbsp;&ndash; all 6.8 million of them.
