American girls have always been associated with blonde hair, blue eyes and bubbly personalities. It also doesn’t hurt if/when they wear jean shorts and a little tank top that shows off their figure either. Still, in the grand scheme of things, are American girls really the sexiest girls on the planet? Of course, that’d be up for debate. One thing that can’t be debated, however — at least not today — is that the hottest American girls we could think of deserve every single bit of our attention today.

With it being the 4th of July in the United States, which is an opportunity for far too many beers, BBQ tips and fireworks, let’s just go ahead and admire some of the finest American girls on planet earth. Lucky for us, they all have Instagram accounts to gawk over plenty of pictures, too, which makes it easy as hell to do.

So, regardless of where you live or hail from, let’s raise a tallboy to those Americans today, because these girls are capable enough to make the entire world adore the red, white and blue. God bless America, indeed!

Kate Upton

When you think about what an American girl should look like, it might not get any better than Kate Upton. With a gorgeous face, killer curves and a personality to boot, we’re almost convinced the U.S. could build a statue of her to replace the Statue of Liberty without most people caring.

Selena Gomez

Introducing DEFY- my latest campaign with @PUMA. #DoYou

A post shared by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) on

An actress and singer, Selena Gomez is as dynamic as they come. Oh, and she also happens to be quite the friggin’ stunner in front of a camera. Still just 25 years old, something tells us that this brunette will have plenty of staying power as she ages — which is 100 percent OK with every man on planet earth.

Alexis Ren

woke up next to some blue ass water in a white building. Take a guess lol

your girl getting dark 🙊

A post shared by Alexis Ren (@alexisren) on

A 20-something model who has the prototypical look of all those American girls in your dreams, Alexis Ren has seen her career takeoff over the past year. That’s thanks to a growing Instagram account with millions of followers and, more impressively, the opportunity to pose for the exclusive Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for the first time.

Ashley Graham

Best-known as, arguably, the most popular “plus size” model on earth, Ashley Graham has curves for days, gents — and it’s just one of the many reasons we adore her. In addition to her frame, she’s got a face of an angel and a personality we’d love to have around us for more than just an evening.

Kendall Jenner

bone-dry

OK, sure, Kendall Jenner is part of (arguably) the most mass produced family in the history of the world, but, hey, that doesn’t mean she isn’t a complete bombshell. One of the classic beauties in the modeling industry, it’s no wonder Kendall found herself towards the top of the highest-paid list of models in 2017. Guys, she’s hot as all hell, accept it and forget the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner shenanigans.

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence is sexy as all hell, but she also happens to be one of the highest-paid actresses on the planet, too, meaning she gets to pick and choose the films she’s really interested in working on because she’s so highly respected. That’s just part of her sexiness — with another major factor being how she looks in one of those superhero outfits she’s worn in the past.

Demi Lovato

Don’t talk to us about Demi Lovato’s past or any of that stuff, because, if there’s one thing we know, it’s that the 25-year-old stunner is as sexy as they come these days. Thanks to an enormous 2017 that saw a new album and plenty of news about her outspoken nature, Demi is an American girl who is welcome at our house anytime of the week.

Bella Thorne

When you try and act sexy but it’s kind of super difficult and uncomfortable 😂

A post shared by BELLA (@bellathorne) on

I ❤️ TANA

A post shared by BELLA (@bellathorne) on

Oh, sure, actress Bella Thorne may not be every guy’s cup of tea, but, you know what, a helluva lot of dudes daydream about this 20-year-old babe on the reg. It’s not difficult to see why, either, as she’s got a lot of rebel in her, mixed with naturally good looks. If there were an American girl we think would be fun to have a night with on this list, it might just be Bella.

‼️ GIVEAWAY WINNERS ‼️ Sorry for the delay! I had a concert last night (shook from Halsey, Dua Lipa & Bazzi etc. in 1 night), I burned my arm in fire like 2 hours ago, and I'm preparing to travel to Pennsylvania on Friday… #forgiveme THANK YOU to everyone who entered, it was such hard picks! 😫 But I read every single entry and I could tell that you guys would all be able to make Scarlett's heart melt. 💕 • @annabella.palmer When I was reading your entry, I kept saying "Same. Same. YES. I relate" 😂 I love how you were able to cope with self-love; being comfortable in your own skin. You also seem to really understand Scarlett's passion from acting to music and for this, I'd LOVE to give you the Apart bundle… (Once it comes in…) Yours will be a bit delayed since I haven't even received mine yet! It should arrive in July but either way, you're getting a CD and autographs from Scarlett & Pete! • @sxndrineee You gave me the longest message, but it wasn't just you "rambling". You started from the beginning and every reason you gave had so much meaning. I enjoyed your little stories and visual aid you sent with it! Because you're such a sweet, dedicated Scarlett fan and are all the way in the Philippines, I am giving you access to my online video archive! ❤ Keep a look out in your DMs, I need to discuss things with you. • @insanityfandoms I wanna thank you for getting so personal in your message. I love that Scarlett inspires you in many ways. I'm treating you to a movie & popcorn with a limited edition Black Widow Fandango gift card, a TimesUp pin to keep your head up and stay strong, and a Blu Ray "Under The Skin" DVD as a surprise add-on! Please check your DMs so I know if you'll be able to use the gift card!

Is there a better word to describe the (always) sensationally sexy Scarlett Johansson than voluptuous? If there is, we don’t know it, because the actress is, hands down, forever one of the sexiest American girls. She’s an icon with talent and those looks to boost. Oh, and don’t even get us started on that voice of hers, we’ll swoon.

With no disrespect to any of these other American girls, Beyoncé might be the sexiest of them all. For goodness sake, she’s nicknamed “Queen Bey” and, more so, goes by just one name. As talented and polarizing as she is hot, Beyoncé is the cream of the crop — and looks hella good wearing a bikini or a skin-tight designer dress.
