They’re just like us, after all. We’ve rounded up social media posts from some of our favorite celebrities who look like they had an amazing holiday.

Joe Manganiello and Sofía Vergara spent their Fourth with family, cooking food on the grill and hanging out in the pool. They both shared a ton of adorable photos on Instagram featuring red, white and blue decorations, festive ensembles and what looked like an absolutely amazing party.

Chrissy Teigen spent the Fourth with husband John Legend and their kids. She updated her Instagram story throughout the day, but she also took the time to post a video that had her followers craving hot dogs… until she revealed that the “food” in the video was actually lipstick from her collaboration with Becca Cosmetics. This is one of the reasons she’s so good at social media — she knows how to tell a joke in multiple formats!

Kate Hudson spent her Fourth of July in the sun wearing cowboy boots bearing the American flag and waving another. In the photo she posted on Instagram, she looks like she’s having the time of her life, and her emoji choices in the caption — a flag, fireworks, ice cream, a hot dog, confetti, a balloon and another flag — make us think it was an especially good day.
Taraji P. Henson & Kelvin Hayden
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk1BPI4Fk8M/Taraji P. Henson shared a selfie with her fiancé, Kelvin Hayden, enjoying the sunshine. With a red Solo cup in hand, Henson and Hayden both stick their tongues out at the camera. Henson didn’t mention the holiday in her caption on Instagram, opting instead to write something sweet about her beau: “That’s my best friend,” along with some silly emoji and some kisses. Too cute.
Reese Witherspoon
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk0gX_5ndYU/Reese Witherspoon totally embodied the spirit of Independence Day in her Instagram post, which reminded us of that iconic moment in Legally Blonde 2. You know the one. Witherspoon looks adorable in her red, white and blue, and the clothes and accessories she has spread out make us want to rock the flag colors all summer long.
