#10yearschallenge, the new challenge of Instagram
This is not the first time that a new fashion goes crazy on Instagram. In years past, the hashtag #bucketchallenge that accompanied the ALS ad campaign to raise money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research had gone viral.

#10yearschallenge doesn’t have the same charitable purposes, but it has gone viral just as quickly. You only need to enter your Facebook, Twitter and Instagram profiles to see the pictures of many celebrities, including Chiara Ferragni who posted a picture of how she looked ten years ago accompanied by a very long caption. Among the footballers, to report the post of Paul Pogba that portrays him in two images, one of ten years ago and one of today, always with the shirt of Manchester United.
