“Isn’t my Samantha just precious?” Streisand wrote in her debut post.

The 72-year-old Instagram newbie racked up nearly 20,000 followers in her first 48 hours.

“Oh Barbra you are a goddess who walks among us,” wrote one.

“You look amazing ! & girl I can honestly say your (sic) fashion is bang on!” another declared.
