It’s July 4, which means it’s the anniversary of American independence from the rule of Queen Charlotte’s Farmer George. And we all know what that means: fireworks, lengthy thinkpieces about the history of the United States … and, of course, celeb content. After all, the Fourth of July isn’t just about remembering the date. It’s also a chance for the rich and famous to share some red, white, and blue holiday posts. From updating social media to attending billionaire Michael Rubin’s star-studded annual Hamptons party, here’s how celebrities — including Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas, Jennifer Lopez, the Biebers, Alec Baldwin, and more — marked this year’s Independence Day weekend.

Half of the Hamptons, apparently

Lori Harvey’s star-studded TikTok barely scratches the surface. According to “Page Six,†Jay-Z, Bennifer, Justin Bieber, Emily Ratajkowski, Usher, Ne-Yo, Tina Knowles, Tom Brady, and many other celebs also attended billionaire Michael Rubin’s annual Hamptons white party. Rubin posted plenty of white party dumps to Instagram in the days following.

Martha Plimpton

As she does for most occasions, Lil’ Plimpy used the 4th as an opportunity to speak up for abortion rights.

Alec Baldwin

It’s a canon event.

Brooke Shields

If you don’t feel like posting a new photo, a throwback is always an option.

Guns N’ Roses

And so are graphics.

Martha Stewart

What better day to promote this recipe?

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky

The RHOBH couple rang in Independence Day by clarifying that they are not (legally) independent from each other.

Sharon Stone

She’s not (paint) brushing this holiday off.

Michael Douglas

It’s giving Uncle Sam.

The Obamas

Before they lived in the White House, they were parents. So of course they’ve gotta double post to celebrate Swarm writer Malia Obama’s July 4 birthday.

Courteney Cox

As McDonald’s has incessantly reminded us, Malia isn’t the only celebrity with a birthday this holiday weekend.
