Britney Spears is proudly shouting out her admiration for a few undeniably "Pretty Girls" in a heartfelt series of Instagram Stories on October 15th. At the age of 42, Spears expressed her admiration for an array of female superstars, each with their unique charm and inspiration.
As she scrolled through her Stories, Spears unveiled her desire to shine a light on the "women I genuinely admire and have crazy girl crushes on" — those who have sparked her imagination and fueled her spirit. The "Lucky" crooner confessed her admiration for Pamela Anderson, labeling her a "classic babe with a heart of gold!" Turning to the realm of Hollywood, Spears gushed over Natalie Portman, sharing a delightful anecdote about their chance encounter outside in New York, both donning the same shirt, and remarking, "She's the coolest person I've ever met!"
Her love for Camila Cabello shone bright too, as Spears exclaimed, "She's so darn pretty and her laughter makes me giggle uncontrollably!" Praising Cabello's sweet yet quirky personality, Spears wistfully added, "I wish I was more like that!" Moving on, Spears couldn't help but marvel at Kendall Jenner's ethereal beauty, questioning, "Is it even humanly possible to be that pretty??"
Rounding off her tribute, Spears dedicated sweet shout-outs to her "literally gorgeous" friends, Selena Gomez and Drew Barrymore, both of whom graced her 2022 wedding to Sam Ashgari and even shared a dance floor moment with Madonna, belting out "Vogue."
In between celebrating these formidable women, Spears delved into the intricacies of friendship, reflecting on how childhood companions often evolve into life's most cherished besties. She painted a vivid picture of how their mannerisms, speech patterns, and even gaits converged over time, making them almost seem like twins. Yet, with the passage of years, she poignantly observed how some friendships may drift apart as people marry, mature, and carve out their individual paths. "It's called life," she mused, adding, "I still hang with my girlfriends now and then, but it's just not the same as it was in our youth."
While candidly pondering the dynamics of adult friendships and celebrating her inspirations, Spears admitted with a chuckle that she wasn't quite sure why she was writing about all this. "I'm away penning my novel and delving into self-discovery," she shared, "but I do miss the sheer joy of being silly with my girl gang!"
Amidst this reflection, Spears continues to be a fashion and musical icon, inspiring young talents like Brittany Mahomes, who donned red leather pants and a matching jacket reminiscent of Spears' iconic "Oops!...I Did It Again" music video attire. And at the 2024 MTV VMAs, Sabrina Carpenter and Megan Thee Stallion paid homage to Spears' legendary performances, reigniting memories of her unforgettable "Oops!…I Did It Again" spoken interlude and the fiery "I'm a Slave 4 U" showstopper from 2001.
