Like, well, pretty much every holiday in 2020, the Fourth of July is looking quite a bit different this year. Usually, people would celebrate with beach bonfires with friends, backyard barbecues, and by turning out for huge community fireworks shows.
In the time of lockdown during a global pandemic, none of those things are really on the table. Across the country, people are looking for low-key, socially distant ways to celebrate the holiday and use it as a chance to reflect on America's complicated history with freedom and independence—and celebs are no exception.
From Cindy Crawford's patriotic reminder about what freedom really means to Goldie Hawn's romantic tribute to Kurt Russell to Reese Witherspoon's call to action encouraging people to show their patriotism by voting, here's how some of your favorite celebs are celebrating the Fourth of July this year.
Miley Cyrus is being told she "needs a good wash" – comments the 27-year-old superstar likely has no time for as views to her latest bikini video rack up. The "SHE IS COMING" singer whose quarantine look has become iconic on account of the mullet she's only admitted to washing twice since lockdown updated her TikTok this week.
Miley's backyard bikini dance came complete with a flawless figure, a fun spin on getting America back to "WERK," and the man who has been by the singer's side since October 2019. Check out Cody Simpson joining Miley below.
Set outdoors, the video saw the former "Hannah Montana" star busting out her best TikTok dance moves with 23-year-old Aussie beau Cody by her side. Miley's yoga-honed body was on show via her teeny-tiny and blue bikini, with the blonde's messy mullet also making an appearance as she danced to C+C Music Factory's 1990 "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" hit.
A bikini video from Miley will go viral. Remarks over in The Daily Mail's comments section proved mixed. They also followed a pattern already documented – quite simply, people seem to think that Miley could do with a bath.
