Definitely one of Malta’s breakthrough models and social influencers, Stella Cini isn’t even 20 years old yet.

9. Sarah Zerafa

31.1k followers

This model’s name was on everyone’s lips last year when her face started being seen anywhere from Instagram endorsements to online ads. 2018 doesn’t seem to be any exception, as “Sosa” just breached the 30k follower mark.

10. Christabelle

32.1k followers

24-year-old Christabelle is one of the island’s most popular pop RnB singers. She’s won the Best Solo Artist Award in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013… and is now making a killing on Instagram.

Oh, and she’s also representing the country in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest… so there’s that. 

11. Ira Losco

Of course Malta’s very own superstar diva was going to be on this list.

Glamour model and social media starlet Denise Dalton is relatable AF. 

She also boasts a massive and very engaged Instagram following that’s well over 50,000 followers. 

13. Madeleine Baldacchino

If Madeleine’s face is familiar, that’s because she’s lately been featured on half the billboard ads around the island. Meanwhile, the redhead Supernova model is getting some ridiculous traction online, with her just over 350 Instagram posts gathering over 50,000 followers. 

14. Emma Muscat

142k followers

18-year-old University student turned overnight-superstar had completely destroyed a singing challenge and made it onto the Amici show three months ago. Since then, she’s gone from strength to strength, amassing well over one hundred thousand followers.
