She might have celebrated July 4 in Taylor Swift's beachside mansion, but there's nothing like a makeup-free catch up with longtime friends and former The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants co-stars to bring you back down to earth.
Last night, Blake Lively posted a picture to Instagram of her cuddling up to Ugly Betty star America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn, proving the quartet's friendship has stood the test of time since they first united to film the teenage drama in 2005.
The Shallows star captioned her image '#sisterhusbands', while Ferrera posted a photo collage of her BFFs with the hashtags 'blakesfingerinmynose' and 'holdtighttotheonesyourlove'.
Since the foursome started their friendship, the actresses' careers (and private lives) have gone from strength to strength.
Lively has gone on to star in Gossip Girl and Savages and is now married to actor Ryan Reynolds, with whom she's expecting her second child this summer.
Meanwhile, Ferrera has won several Emmy and SAG awards for her role as Betty Suarez in ABC's Ugly Betty and Tamblyn has had minor roles in Hollywood blockbusters Main Street and 127 Hours.
Bledel has starred in Mad Men (where she met her husband actor Vincent Kartheiser) and will reunite with her former Gilmore Girls cast mates this summer for the show's long-awaited revival on Netflix.
A sisterhood slumber party – sounds like the perfect Saturday.
