The Gorgeous Men of Kult You Should Follow on Instagram

Timothy Rawles READ TIME: 11 MIN.

Christian Hogue

If it's thirst traps you want, it's thirst traps you will get with Christian. His Instagram feed is an amalgam of smooth skin and muscles. Rugged and confident, this 30-year-old, blue-eyed fashion model seems ironically comfortable out of garb. He loves motorcycles and traveling, and appears to be a laid-back person thanks to some advice he got when he was younger: "My grandma would say, 'Don't be a bitter person be a better person,' Christian told Male Model Scene.

Sadiq Desh

Sadiq was born in Lagos, Nigeria. According to his profile, he loves to travel and discover new cultures. Being that he is a content creator himself, his Instagram page is filled with both professional and amateur shots of what he does best: Wearing clothes. He shows off everything from swimwear to handbags to jewelry. His athletic build has been the medium for brands such as Gucci, Prada, and Calvin Klein. (Visit his Instagram page.)

Sergio Alvarez

One thing the fashion industry lacks is diversity in the size of its models. But Sergio is a great example of why high-end brands should change that. He is described as a plus-size model, but he appears more like an accurate representation of most people in the world. His Instagram page is a menagerie of shots both from his personal and professional life. His hashtags often include the word "gay" and "bear." But what we love most about Sergio is that he proves men can wear high fashion in any size and still look great.

Paul Forman

This British/French actor and model is like the James Dean of couture. He proclaims himself to be the "most French English man ever" because of his dual lineage. Paul has a math degree, but spends a lot of his time in front of the TV camera, having roles in shows such as "Emily in Paris" and "Frank of Ireland." Sexy and versatile, his modeling range can go from sophisticated in a tuxedo to heart-stopping in a pair of white underwear. (Visit his Instagram page.)

Eden Gardenia

Eden identifies as neither a man nor a woman; they say they are non-binary, and for that reason they made this list. Eden is a successful trans-drag artist. The beauty of drag isn't just for reality television anymore, it's also taken seriously on fashion runways of the world. Eden's professional fashion journey started in Sydney. They have successfully crossed over into the conventional world of modeling, "I'm really excited to start pushing my drag into more mainstream commercial and editorial fashion."

Alessio Pozzi

When you think of cover models, Alessio should be at the forefront of your mind. He was discovered while still in high school by a scout staring at him from a shop window. He planned on working in economics before his big break. One of Alessio's trademarks is the small scar on his face, which he received from his cat, and he prefers that it not be photoshopped out "because at the end of the day is part of me and makes me unique." If you start to follow him on Instagram, get ready to see many shirtless photos (and some naked) in his feed. (Visit his Instagram page.)

Fernando Casablancas

Fernando's versatility is out of this world; he is perhaps the most androgynous model on this list. With long curly hair and a slim physique, he can transform from masculine to feminine and everything in between at the click of an aperture. If you follow him on Instagram you'll see that is not an exaggeration. Fernando married his boyfriend, Jordan Barrett, back in 2021. (Visit his Instagram page.

Julian Schneyder

In between the fem stylings of Fernando Casablancas and the studly persona of Paul Forman, there is Julian. This former face and body of Calvin Klein underwear hails from Vienna. He is also a Judo master, which explains his pristine body. Julian's Instagram account goes back quite a ways, and it is interesting to see him mature from his beginnings as an 18-year-old newcomer to the established and highly sought-after fashion model he is today.

Guilherme Ripper Solipa

The contrast between Guilherme's warm skin tone and the coolness of his blue eyes is jolting to the soul. Whether he is dressed down in swimming trunks, clad in a hoodie, or dressed to go to an upscale soiree, his Instagram pictures are never boring. {Visit his Instagram page.)

Luke Edmeade

Based in the U.K., Luke was scouted for modeling at the age of 18. College came first, but after he was done he re-entered the modeling business, where he has become very successful. Luke is versatile in that he is internationally appealing. In fact, he has said that if he were given the choice to play his dream role in a movie it would have to be the famous Ian Fleming spy character, because "I think it's time the role took on a whole new look so why not have its first tatted-up James Bond." If you follow him on Instagram, you will for yourself why those tats are so impressive. (Luke's IG page is inactive.)
