10. Kanye West

The only reason this photo made the list is because he’s smiling, which nowadays is a rare occasion.Kanye West is known for three things – his music, his style and his ever-present unamused scowl. This photo is a rarity because not only does it show a time that he was smiling, but he also let someone capture it on camera. If you’ve ever seen those gifs online that show him laughing for about 2 seconds and as soon as he realizes he’s being filmed showing some emotion, the smile slides right off his face, you’ll know this is a magnanimous occasion. So for those of you out there wondering, yes Yeezy smiles and if you’re lucky enough you may be able to snag a photo that lasts a lifetime.
