This week on Instagram, the shift in seasons brought on a whole new spread of simple pleasures. Jamie Lee Curtis and Ina Garten both welcomed soup season with comfort classics: Jamie Lee tried her hand at a new chicken noodle recipe, while Ina broke out a beloved Barefoot Contessa grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. Katherine Heigl also indulged in some autumnal self-care—her annual fall road trip to Fort Collins, Colorado made for a particularly dreamy and on-theme scrap book entry.While some of our favorite follows took care by keeping it cozy, others got moving. Athletes Sloane Stephens and Gabby Thomas found new sources of joy within their sports, and other celebs practiced their lesser known talents: Ayo Edebiri delivered the first pitch at the second game of the Red Sox vs. Yankees double header with a smile that lit up Fenway Park, and Tom Holland spent the weekend on the PGA Championship course with his brothers.Keep scrolling for these and more of the best celebrity wellness posts of the week.Reese Witherspoon delivered the perfect dose of Monday motivation.Instagram contentThis content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.It’s hard to decide what looks dreamier: Katherine Heigl’s nature-packed Colorado getaway or the cozy afternoon she spent scrapbooking about it.Instagram contentThis content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.

This week, no Instagram feed was immune to the tennis takeover—and for great reason. You can practically hear the crowd roaring in the background of newly crowned US Open champion Coco Gauff’s post, where she’s proudly displaying her glittering Grand Slam trophy. Coco’s victory may have been the weekend’s greatest spectacle—but the celebrity reactions to her second-set comeback deserve an honorable mention too. According to what we saw on Instagram, Amanda Seyfried and Laverne Cox rode the same emotional rollercoaster during the final match, and SELF cover star Danai Gurira’s girl gang lit up the Open’s star-studded stands.While many A-Listers spent the week nursing their tennis fixations, others indulged in their hobbies off the court. Michelle Obama dedicated a post to her longtime love of knitting, Patrick Dempsey took his bike out to train for his cancer foundation’s upcoming challenge, and Jennifer Aniston (virtually) scrapbooked her summer.Keep scrolling for these and more of this week’s best celebrity wellness posts.US Open men’s champion Novak Djokovic scored the ultimate Cool Dad title.Instagram contentThis content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.From court to field, Coco Gauff had a busy week…and we won’t be getting tired of her content anytime soon.Instagram contentThis content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.

This week, our favorite celebrities thought beyond the “self” in “self-care,” and tended to their wellness with their nearest and dearest. Four-legged friends made multiple appearances: Brooke Shields and Antoni Porowski both posted tributes to their beloved pups, and all of the ways they take care of each other.

Following the US Women’s National Team’s difficult Round of 16 exit from the 2023 World Cup, Kelley O’Hara took advantage of some well-deserved downtime with a surfing jaunt in Montauk.

There has never been a better time to be a Swiftie. During the first leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour, which recently came to a close, Taylor Swift reminded us just how much artistic ground she’s covered in her decades-spanning career. Thanks to her constant evolution between genres and aesthetics, my forever favorite popstar and Comfort Celebrity has moved and grown with me through so many phases.I’m a lifelong believer that Taylor Swift has a song for every situation, and workouts are no exception. Whether you’re into Folklore-worthy forest hikes, or you prefer to take Taylor’s signature power-strut to the treadmill, there’s a song in her massive discography guaranteed to match your exact energy.Nostalgic throwbacks like “Picture to Burn” and “You Belong With Me” deliver the perfect adrenaline shot of glittery teen angst. “The Way I Loved You,” “New Romantics,” and “Getaway Car” practically demand that you get up and run (or dance), and “Don’t Blame Me” and “Bejeweled” will remind you that you look good while doing it. You can also count on the queen of the pump-up bridge to deliver the mid-song pushes you need to meet your goals (I’m looking at you, “Cruel Summer”). And it feels like a no-brainer to cool down to “Karma”—Taylor’s own walk-off song in her Eras Tour set, and the affirmation anthem you should take out of any workout.Although this playlist was crafted and ordered with the perfectly romanticized workout in mind, it’s not exercise-exclusive. These are the songs I have on repeat when I’m feeling short on motivation or confidence, or when I want to keep a good mood rolling.

Celebrities didn’t skip out on their vitamin D this week—at least according to what we saw on Instagram. Karamo Brown hit the hiking trails and Reese Witherspoon relaxed in the garden, each with their four-legged sidekicks in tow. Emilia Clarke got some air—quite literally—with an outdoor trapeze lesson. While soaking up the sunshine, Olympian Chloe Kim reminded her followers to practice patience with themselves: After taking the year off from snowboarding and prioritizing her own needs, Kim says she’s overcome the burnout that nearly convinced her to retire and is ready to return to the slopes.As lovely as it is to lounge outside in August, everyone needs their Inside Time, too. From the comfort of their living rooms, Ashley Graham hit Do Not Disturb and Emily Hampshire relaxed with a classic green face mask. Our friends at Sesame Street also kept it cozy for #SelfCareSunday, reminding us of the simple joys of a good book and a cup of tea.

Instagram may not always be a primary source for authenticity (okay, let’s be honest—it rarely is), but that doesn’t mean we can’t indulge in a little voyeurism every now and then. Who doesn’t love getting a glimpse into how celebrities spend their downtime? Granted, many of the wellness practices touted on social media are…less than accessible, to say the least. We can’t all afford the remote vacations and expensive treatments that feed A-listers’ inner peace, but it’s still fun to lust after them. That said, not everything you’ll catch the VIP crowd posting is completely out of reach: Even Oscar winners and Olympic legends enjoy a good nap or a living room stretch session. Besides, for some of us, a mindless, indulgent scroll is a form of self-care in and of itself—which is why we’ve rounded up some of the best recent wellness Instagram posts from celebs.This week our famous friends took advantage of summer’s high season: Sun and surf were common main ingredients in their wellness regimens. Olympians Michelle Kwan and Lindsey Vonn both took to the water to find restoration and strength—Kwan diving into her 43rd year surrounded by her support system, and Vonn hopping back on the jet ski following a knee surgery she hopes will relieve lasting damage from her skiing career. Maria Sharapova admitted that even on a dreamy Grecian getaway, relaxing felt a little unnatural, and Alicia Keys reminded her followers that welcoming stillness is, in fact, “soooooooooooooooooo productive.” Simone Biles announced her triumphant comeback to Team USA, and Alex Morgan reflected on the USWNT’s World Cup defeat, both of them brimming with gratitude. Oh, and if you need Kate Husdon, she’ll be meditating on her floor until further notice.Keep scrolling for these, plus more star-studded snippets of self-care (and please, take Jonathan Van Ness’s mirror pep talk with you into the weekend).Instagram contentThis content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.
