Comedian Celeste Barber has 6.8 million followers on Instagram thanks to her iconic #celestechallengeaccepted photo series. But when she’s not whipping up very funny takes on sexy celebrity photos, she’s also a writer, actor, mom, and outspoken feminist. And, well, if that’s not enough, the Australian comedian just broke the Facebook fundraising record, raising $32 million for Australian wildlife relief with donations from 1.2 million people globally. She wears a lot of hats, but it’s her refreshing openness about everything from body image to fleeting fame that makes us super fans. Celeste joins Refinery29 global editor-in-chief Christene Barberich  on the latest installment of UnStyled to talk motherhood, #MeToo, and her highly relatable brand of funny.
