If you were looking for an excuse to post a picture of you and your best friend on Instagram this week, you’re in luck. According to the myriad of hashtags populating the app, August 4th is National Friendship Day, a handy excuse to celebrate the best of your ride or die bonds. Hot off the heels of National Girlfriend’s Day (August 1st), these Hollywood friendships offer plenty of inspiration for your own photographic declaration of love and affection. Have a pic of the two of you dressed to the nines? Channel Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez at the 2016 Grammy Awards in all their primary colored-gown glory. Or feeling a bit more frisky? Look no further than Cara Delevingne and Kendall Jenner caught mid-embrace. Need a light-hearted vibe to get you through the day? Steal a page from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler just being their ever-hilarious selves. And if you must do a kiss-y face, you might as well call in some backup—just ask Hailey Baldwin and Kylie Jenner.
