A TASTEFUL image of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West exchanging a wedding kiss was the most-liked Instagram image of 2014.

Posted in May when the celebrity power couple tied the knot in Italy, the photo - with the California reality TV star in a flowing Givenchy gown - drew 2.4 million likes.

That was well-above the combined 1.49 million likes she got after she posted two of her infamous bare-bummed “break the internet” cover photos from Paper magazine last month.

In second place was an atmospheric black-and-white selfie of Justin Bieber with fellow pop star and ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, with 1.9 million likes.
