How Your Fave Celebs Celebrated The Fourth Of July

The Fourth of July is a time to reflect on this nation's history, but it's also the peak of summer, which means fireworks, pool parties, barbecues, and red, white, and blue fashion statements in every form. Many celebs shared their Fourth of July festivities and thoughts online, from simple tweets to honor the day to showing off their fun parties and themed outfit ideas on Instagram. This year, stars from all over the world took advantage of the holiday by sharing thoughts, memories, and their favorite pics from the day.
