These celebrities are living their best lives this summer&mdash;and living in our heads rent-free while doing so.

When <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/megan-thee-stallion-fashion-moments-age-instagram-body-lyrics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Thee Stallion</a> (in a move cosigned by rap matriarch <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/nicki-minaj-new-music-nude-instagram-crocs-chanel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicki Minaj</a>) decreed it Hot Girl Summer upon the release of her identically-named single &ldquo;Hot Girl Summer&rdquo; in August 2019, she probably had no clue the sex-positive cultural renaissance her fiery stanzas were unleashing on the world. By the time she and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/cardi-b-pregnant-second-child-husband-offset" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cardi B</a> dropped &ldquo;Wap&rdquo; one year later, she likely had an idea.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/jordyn-woods-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hot Girl Summer</a> is more than a mere song or mentality, however&mdash;it&rsquo;s a movement. One that is steeped in female empowerment, body positivity, and, as one could probably guess, looking good. While the concept of Hot Girl Summer arguably transcends the barriers of any lone season, the warmer months do offer an optimal number of avenues for hotties of all walks to indulge in their Hot Girl ways (beach vacations, poolside sessions, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/jennifer-lopez-ben-affleck-relationship-timeline-reunited" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hampton getaways with your former flame shortly after splitting from your longtime fiancee</a>, and the like).&nbsp;&nbsp;
From Jennifer Lopez reuniting with her ex-boo Ben Affleck (and bringing back <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/early-2000s-movies-for-y2k-style-inspiration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">all the Y2K feels</a> doing it), to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/social-media-account-rihanna-runway-street-style-looks-twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rihanna</a> posting up being, well, Rihanna, these celebrities are exhibiting the spirit of what Hot Girl Summer is at its core&mdash;autonomy, freedom, and unapologetic joi de vivre for all. Real hot girl sh*t.

Sometimes being a Hot Girl means saying no to even the rules of Hot Girl Summer themselves and getting back with your ex. It's ok. It happens. We're here for it.&nbsp;

After a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/jordyn-woods-red-table-talk-interview-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tumultuous few years</a>, Jordyn Woods is letting everybody know that she's in her element, and we couldn't be happier for her.&nbsp;

Lori Harvey and her boo, Michael B. Jordan spotted on a Nobu lunch date days before jetsetting on a tropical baecation.

In an interview for Apple Music 1, J.Lo exclaimed regarding her reunion with Ben Affleck that she's "never been better," and judging by the photos of the pair that have cropped up recently, we can tell.&nbsp;

Bella Hadid in Paris, that is all.&nbsp;

Of course we couldn't forget to include the OG Hot Girl herself, Megan Thee Stallion, who spent a weekend in Vegas with her inner circle (we'd elaborate but what happens in Vegas stays there).&nbsp;

Hot Girl Summer is a gender-inclusive movement, so naturally Bad Bunny and his endless stream of stylish car selfies are at the forefront.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chloe-x-halle-fendi-peekaboo-watch-video-now" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chloe Bailey</a> rang in her 23rd birthday last weekend in style.

As far as we're concerned, qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics most definitely counts as a Hot Girl activity. Check out Sydney McLaughlin's&nbsp;L'OFFICIEL Digital July 2021 cover story to learn more about the Olympic athlete <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/sydney-mclaughlin-olympics-track-athlete-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.&nbsp;

After years of swirling romance rumors between <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/zendaya-most-glamorous-fashion-style-outfits-of-all-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zendaya</a> and her co-star Tom Holland, photos of the two leaving Zendaya's parents' home in Los Angeles and canoodling in a car seem to have confirmed the pair's relationship.&nbsp;

Meg herself said it best: Body ody ody ody ody ody ody ody.

Hunter Schafer decked out in head-to-toe Prada while posing in front of her first Prada billboard has entered the chat.

A soon-to-be hot mama, Halsey <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/halsey-announces-new-album-instagram-pregnant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced her next album and dropped</a> art that comments on women's autonomy over their bodies.
