Forget winning awards— celeb squads are the biggest goals in town. The people in your power club basically defines your status as a celebrity and memberships are exclusive. Requirements include cell phones for after-party selfies, a whole lot of babies for some, plus, a yacht (if you're Leonardo DiCaprio). Hollywood's bars, clubs, and waterfront restaurants prep each day hoping to be the homie haunt of choice, and the celebs that are papped there can literally make or break their business.

Hollywood cliques are surprisingly similar to high school. There are the insanely popular ones you'll never reach, the stable but boring ones, and the new kids on the block. These power pals go on luxury Caribbean vacations, mud up at Coachella, or hit the bathrooms at the New York Met Gala for #mirrorvibes. But that's just one half of Hollywood. Balancing them out in equal numbers are the industry's biggest losers. These lone wolves are either staggeringly snobby, hated beyond belief, or so introverted they'd rather stay locked in their hotel suite than ever see the light of day. While the Kardashians rule all "ladies who brunch" and angelic supermodels conquer us one selfie at a time, the cliques are very different. Here are 10 celebs who belong in strict Hollywood cliques, and 10 who have no Hollywood friends.

TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER POWER TEAM

Having Taylor Swift as your friend will get you far. Hearing that Tay Tay is in town can get the biggest D-Listers scrambling just to be in the same time zone as her, and this music icon chooses her squad carefully. When she's attending the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Taylor hangs model-style. That means BFFs Karlie Kloss, Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, and Gigi Hadid. Then again, if she's taking her #squadgoals to her music videos, we're looking at some "Bad Blood" buddies to match. Her Instagram is a literal who's who, and Taylor doesn't have time for losers. Selena Gomez is up there, as is Lorde and the Haim sisters. Taylor is easily the coolest girl in school, and even the Kardashians can't keep up.

KRISTEN STEWART IS HOLLYWOOD'S BIGGEST LONER

Talk about a fall from grace. Kristen Stewart may have raked in $34.5 million in one year alone, but this Twilight actress is well into her twilight years. Scandal after scandal has wrecked this girl's reputation and no-one wants to be within a square mile of her. Kristen broke her co-star Robert Pattinson's heart in a photographed moment of bad behavior with her Snow White director, and this leading lady has quite the history in that domain. Separately, many are tired of her award speeches, "hot mess" look, and last year vibes. For Kristen, though, that means being alone. Kristen may still be cruising the Hollywood boulevards, but some believe she isn't welcome there.

KENDALL JENNER'S SUPERMODEL SQUAD

Kendall Jenner may have the world's longest legs, but she's also got the friend list to match. Kendall defined her supermodel status more than ever in 2017 when she knocked fellow model, Gisele Bundchen, off of the highest-paid list. Taking home $18 million that year, Kendall became the ultimate "it girl," not to mention the face of Adidas, La Perla, and beauty giant, Estee Lauder. Her crew is cherry-picked unless, of course, we're talking about her huge clan of family members. Cara Delevingne, Joan Smalls, Gigi and Bella Hadid, plus, Hailey Baldwin all get invited to Kendall's boat parties, booked-out club nights, and island trips. For regular nights in though, there's always bundled up selfies. So basically, the one thing we can do to be like her.

Angelina Jolie may still be considered one of the world's most beautiful women, but she sure isn't the most popular. Her 2017 divorce from Brad Pitt is still making headlines (not to mention the fact that she stole him from Jennifer Aniston). Angelina may spend a reported $10 million a year on her kids, but she is disliked by some moms on account of her parenting and $900,000 nanny expenses. Angie is aging, losing the clout that made her famous, and many have trouble forgiving her for what she did to Brad. Hollywood execs seem reluctant to cast her, and it appears as though the A-listers don't want to know her. You made your bed, Angelina...

LEONARDO DICAPRIO HAS A HAND-PICKED PACK

When you're one of the best-looking guys in Hollywood with a $29 million paycheck in your pocket, trust us, people want to know you. Leonardo DiCaprio may be famous for his blockbuster movies and string of supermodel girlfriends, but he's got his own squad, and it's hella elite. Leo's crew go way back. They include Gisele's husband, Tom Brady, the sitcom star, Kevin Connolly, plus, Luke Haas (although both have dated supermodel, Bar Refaeli). Chilling with Leo will for sure get you on a $600 million yacht, like the one Leonardo rented to watch the soccer World Cup in Brazil. Yeah, Leo is just style all-around. You can spot him all over the world, although when he's on-set, it's 100% dedication.

EMMA WATSON HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF BEING ALOOF

Well, look who made a giant 360. Emma Watson was literally worshipped throughout her time on the Harry Potter series, but this British actress isn't topping the popularity list anymore. Emma has alienated everyone around her, from the fans she snubs to the people who are sick of her diva demands. If a movie is about the city of Los Angeles, Emma reportedly makes the crew film it in London. What? Emma has offended feminist groups, fashionistas, and little miss Emma is too snobby for social media. Hollywood has pretty much given up on Emma's demands and superior ways, and the actress is feeling the consequences. She's probably too snobby to care, though.

KIM K BASICALLY INVENTED #SQUADGOALS

The Kardashian-Jenner clan aren't just the queens of #squadgoals, they invented them. This power family is dominating Hollywood one #vibe at a time, and they're raking in millions as a result. Their social media posts can earn them up to $500,000 a pop, and this family enjoys life in style. Kim Kardashian may have a $20 million Bel Air mansion as her home, but she's got her squad army for an entourage, and when Kim is out, so are they. Kim is always with her sisters, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie, Kendall, plus, her brother, Rob, and her mom, Kris, are usually tagging along. They go to church together, get dinner at Nobu, plus, they attend all the fashion shows. Kim K is the ultimate #squadgoal and despite being a mom of three, she's not slowing down.

ZAYN MALIK BAILED ON HIS 1D FRIENDS

Zayn Malik started his life quietly, and it looks like this singer is a creature of habit. The British pop sensation shot to fame as part of the boy band, One Direction, after auditioning in front of reality judge, Simon Cowell. Despite a high-profile relationship with the supermodel, Gigi Hadid (and plenty of great fashion moments), Zayn is actually one of Hollywood's biggest introverts. Behind the leather jackets, slick hair, and tattoos, there's a really shy guy who has admitted to suffering from anxiety, and Zayn prefers his own company. He'll wear loud Louis Vuitton shirts, but there's a quiet person inside. Although he's since signed as a solo artist, being part of One Direction was just too much for Zayn.

BEYONCE HAS HER BAES AND THEY ARE DOMINATING

Flying the flag for "All The Single Ladies" (and the married ones), Beyonce Knowles-Carter is a squad boss. This music mogul is worth a staggering $350 million, and that figure sky-rockets, considering she's married to the rapper, Jay-Z. Beyonce has a lot of muscle from music buddies like Alicia Keys and Nicki Minaj, although, the singer is equally up there with actresses. She teams up pretty regularly with Gwyneth Paltrow and their kids have playdates together, although, Gwyneth herself is getting a bit of a "meh" reputation of late. Beyonce is sassy, bold, beautiful, and an incredible music artist, but she's also super social and up for fun. Of course, when it's Fashion Week, Beyonce and her husband sit with "Diddy" Sean Combs, Kim K, and the editor of Vogue magazine.

COURTENEY COX HAS BEEN SEEING LESS OF JEN ANISTON

This one is kind of ironic, considering that Courteney Cox is literally famous for being in a TV show called Friends. The '90s sitcom star has enjoyed mild success since the show ended in 2004, although, the actress now gets more press for whatever she's done to her weird and puffy face. Courteney is divorced and a mom of one, but we don't see her brunching around, and we definitely don't see much of her with her former co-star, Jennifer Aniston. Jen was there to celebrate Courteney's 49th birthday, but the two have had a bit of an "on-off" BFF relationship.

REESE WITHERSPOON TAKES COOKING CLASSES WITH THE A-LIST

Well, how fancy. Most of us try and do something wholesome with our friends— maybe biking, doing something for charity, or a bake-off. Reese Witherspoon is no different, although, the $25 million this actress can earn from one movie does give her a few more privileges. This Instagram shot shows her power pals, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore taking a break in Napa Valley, California, and the #thegirlstrip summed the pic up nicely. Reese also hangs out with lots of A-List actresses, like Jennifer Aniston. Sadly though, her marriage to Ryan Phillippe was less of a #vacay, so it looks like he's out.

JOHNNY DEPP IS TOO SHY FOR A SOCIAL LIFE

Johnny Depp may be one of the highest-paid actors of all time, but he is a self-proclaimed "recluse." You might not get that vibe from his quirky and confident roles in the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise, but underneath the captain, there's a confidence that's crumbling. The Hollywood hotshot has opened up in interviews about his shy persona, saying that he actually prefers staying away from social situations. Johnny may have raked in $55 million from one movie alone, but the word you need to pay attention to here is "alone." Johnny enjoyed the simplicity of his long-term relationship with the actress and model, Vanessa Paradis, although sadly, the two called it quits after Amber Heard caused a bit of a stir.

KYLIE JENNER HAS A PRIVATE JET "KLIQUE"

Kylie Jenner has it all. Exclusive Kardashian-Jenner membership, a makeup empire that's turned $420 million in sales, and an Instagram following that's set to reach the number one spot. This young mom-of-one may be busy growing her Kylie Cosmetics empire, but she's got a gang, and these girls live the high life. Kylie frequently flies around the world with her BFF, Jordyn Woods, and naturally, these ladies fly by private jet. Kylie's cruisers hit luxury yachts, restaurants, and beach spots. For Kylie's 19th birthday, that meant a power squad that included her sister, Kendall, the Hadid sisters, Hailey Baldwin, plus, Justin Skye. Kylie is set to be the first Kardashian billionaire, so no surprises that wanting to be her BFF is the most sought-after #goal.

JESSICA ALBA PREFERS HER OWN COMPANY

Jessica Alba is beautiful, talented, rich, and a mom to two kids. While the Fantastic Four actress interacts a lot with us on the cover of magazines, the real Jessica is surprisingly shy. She definitely isn't part of the Hollywood brunch crew, and leading a simple, wholesome life is more up her alley. She's a strict mom and has openly spoken about putting her kids on "time out" more than the average parent. Still, it looks like "time out" is something Jessica puts to her own life. She has some old timer pals, like the singer, Alicia Keys, and the model, Alessandra Ambrosio, but aside from the two taking their kids to the pumpkin patch, it's a lone highway for Jessica.

WILLOW SMITH HAS EVERYONE WANDERING AFTER HER

Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith have a lot to be proud of. Their acting careers have made them mega-rich, and their marriage has been going strong since 1997. They've also got two kids who are pretty much celebrities in their own right. Kids, Jaden and Willow may be young celebs, but they're climbing the ranks fast. This Met Gala selfie from 2016 shows a glammed-up Willow with Zoe Kravitz and Kristen Stewart (while she was still popular). The #squadgoals here are bang on-trend, although Willow also has her lower-key pals, like Lorde, Tavi Gevinson, and Kiernan Shipka. Want to find them? Hit any flea market in the Los Angeles area.

PARIS HILTON PRETENDS TO HAVE FRIENDS

Californian socialite and heiress, Paris Hilton was an "it girl" (many moons ago). Her BFF status with her fellow socialite, Nicole Richie was well-documented on reality series, The Simple Life (back when people actually cared). While Nicole has moved on though, Paris has trailed behind. She makes sure her Instagram shows us plenty of snaps that say "I'm popular," but the reality is, nobody really wants to hang out with a celeb, whose shelf life expired ten years ago. Paris still travels the world to host events and show her face at parties, but aside from her bank balance, nothing much is saying "be my friend." Paris, you were popular once. Get a grip and realize that isn't the case anymore.

AMY POEHLER HAS HER SNL LADIES

Saturday Night Live is a big deal. Not surprising then, that the power women hosting it have their own squad, and these ladies come with brains, beauty, and bucks. Amy Poehler has the 30 Rock star, Tina Fey as her BFF, plus, Maya Rudolph and Kristin Wiig. Tina Fey actually told the New York Daily News that "All the SNL women are in touch literally every day." These women may host the Golden Globes, but they host their own lives, too. Melissa McCarthy is also part of the gang, and this lot are living proof that you can be nerdy, smart, and still shine as a Hollywood clique.

BRITNEY SPEARS STRUGGLES TO FIND HER PACK

Britney Spears may be the undeniable pop icon of the 2000's, but this singer has gone downhill fast. Britney's troubled personal life and wild ways have lost her a lot, including the custody of her kids and a social life. Britney may have sell-out albums, tours, and fragrances, but she's walking those Hollywood boulevards alone. Nobody really wants to know her, nobody seems to want to date her, and this songstress is basically a walking fall from grace. Of course, this might have to do with the fact that she looks a complete mess 98% of the time. Britney's Instagram may try and suggest she's still popular, but we can see straight through it.

IF YOU'RE IN GAME OF THRONES, YOU HAVE FRIENDS

HBO's Game Of Thrones is literally one of the biggest cult TV shows of all time. Although the cast spends most of their on-screen time trying to kill each other, there's a lot of #squad activity behind the scenes, and pics like this one are proving it. Leading ladies, Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner, may play the Stark sisters on-screen, but they've got #sistervibes going strong, and the guys are no different. You can see Peter Dinklage here, alongside Charles Dance, and Finn Jones. Their Instagram accounts are groupie central, and these high earners make the most of their well-earned breaks from filming. Definitely a clique worth mentioning.

MADONNA'S FRIENDS ARE TOO MATURE FOR HER ANTICS

Madonna can reinvent herself as much as she likes, but there's one thing she doesn't have control over— her age. There's nothing wrong with being a not-so-young star (Jennifer Aniston is living proof), but if you're going to look and behave like a granny, you're going to get treated like one. This singer's diva demands and unconventional personality were cool 15 years ago, but Madonna is solidly out. Former BFFs included the fellow health nut, Gwyneth Paltrow, and her pop rival, Britney Spears (back in the day), but you won't find them being papped together today. Madonna has isolated herself, but her huge ego doesn't seem to mind.

If you spend your life surrounded by your squad, you'll likely identify with some of the people on this list. If deep inside, you're shy or anxious, you'll get what it's like to just want to blend in with the crowd. Leave us a comment, pick which clique fits you best, and see which one your friends fit into. If your BFF isn't sending you the best #vibes right now, well, you can just edit them out of the selfie, right?
