Celebs bring the party as Independence Day celebrations get underway in the US

Happy Fourth of July, American pals! Independence Day is upon us and while we’re over here in Blighty, we’re making sure we get into the spirit.

Mainly by getting jealous watching all the celebrities getting into the spirit of things for the holidays on Instagram.

What else would we do?!

First up on our list was Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s Sarah Michelle Gellar, who posted a throwback pic of her brandishing a sparkler for some retro vibes and a public safety announcement to boot.

‘Remember kids, don’t play with fireworks, let the adults who have been drinking all day do it!!,’ she joked.

‘(Just kidding- pls be safe today- having ten fingers is still cool)’

Flashback fans are clearly a thing at this holiday with Zach Braff shooting back to his Scrubs days – with a photo of JD literally becoming the United States flag, complete with being on a flagpole.

Scooter Braun, who is currently in the middle of a public spat with Taylor Swift, opted to focus on the good with a simple picture.

Pink sent her love from Germany as she sent her European tour, and told her fans: ‘Happy 4th of July. May we all find independence wherever we are.’

British star Tan France embraced his status as an American with a full stars and stripes ensemble photoshoot.

Which is something that Ice Cube’s wife Coco definitely embraced with a swimsuit bikini shot also bearing the flag.

Alyssa Milano and her two children all wore matching outfits to get into the spirit of it all, and looked adorable in a group shot where they’re all cuddled into each other.

Strictly star Janette Manrara sent her well wishes with a snuggly photo with husband Aljaz Skorjanec from Walt Disney World.

‘Happy Independence Day USA!! Sending love & kisses to all my family & friends back in Miami & LA! Celebrate “life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness!,” she wrote.

Laverne Cox posted a photo dressed as a Statue of Liberty, with the background smothered in the American Flag.

In a bold political statement, the tablets in her hand reads “Trans Is Beautiful” and she took the opportunity and platform to discuss further the roots of America and what that means.

She wrote: ‘Today I am on land that was stolen from the Gabrieleño aka the Tongva people. My ancestors were brought to this country as slaves. And in this photo I am dressed as the Statue of Liberty. The awesome folks of [Orange Is The New Black] altered the original photo surrounding me in American flags. In my left hand I am holding a tablet which reads, “Trans Is Beautiful”.

‘I just wanted this caption to state facts on this #4thofjuly 2019. And oh yeah I am holding a torch in my right hand. My good friend @jayknowlest calls me, “torch”.
