Here’s How Your Favorite Celebs Fêted Father’s Day

By Cordelia Tai

came yesterday and with it a flood of expertly filtered Instagram posts showing celebrities and their offspring (or, in John Legend’s case, partners) doing cute things like biking (Mark Ruffalo), horsing around outside of IHOP (Kaia Gerber) and fist bumping over a table of Italian delicacies (Gigi Hadid). Then there were those like Madonna and Caitlyn Jenner, who reminded their followers that family structures are complex things. But it’s Rashida Jones and Lena Dunham’s posts that truly had us on the verge of tears. Under a nostalgic picture of her dad (Quincy Delight Jones, Jr.), Jones penned a tribute to the innocent black men who’ve fallen victim to police brutality and, unlike her dad, will not get to see their children grow up. Dunham shared a blurry iPhone snap of her father Carroll Dunham watching over her in the ER and let everyone know that it was he who nursed her back to health after her recent endometriosis flare-up.

Unfortunately, Beyoncé did not surface to publicly thank Jay Z, father to her three(!) children (two girls, one boy).

Don’t worry, Queen Bey will be back in action soon enough. In the meantime, scroll down to see how your (other) favorite celebs fêted Father’s Day.

Caitlyn Jenner

Good day at the Father’s Day car show on Rodeo Drive with my girls. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.

Rashida Jones

Happy Father’s Day to my beautiful dad @quincydjones, who gives the gift of love and music and friendship to me and so many others. Today, I can’t help but think of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling and the countless other innocent black men we’ve lost to senseless, reactive, unchecked police violence. Fathers and young men who never got the opportunity to be fathers, to give their gifts to the world. Enough enough enough. #philandocastile #altonsterling #trayvonmartin #tamirrice #freddiegray #ericgarner #mikebrown #terrancecrutcher #andtoomanymore #saytheirnames

Olivia Wilde

Happy Fathers Day to this wonderful person, who is not only an amazing (loving, fun, kind, wise) dad, but also an incredible partner, who has made it possible for this mama to chase her dreams, always cheering her on, even when her mom-guilt hits hard. That’s love. Otis, Daisy, and I are so very lucky. (also… DILF.) #sorrynotsorry

Yara Shahidi

@afshineee is most literally my day one Happy Baba’s Day Thank you for creating an environment where creativity and life experience is valued and so fully supported in a way that has made way for an abundance of opportunity. Thank you for helping me thrive on this unorthodox path of mine. Thank you for having the same oxymoronic taste is music: appreciating J cole as much as Pink Floyd, Bob Marley (shout out to your radio days), and Tom Waits . I can’t wait for you to find out what happens to Janie and TeaCake so we can discuss love you Baba

Lena Dunham

This may look like a blurry shitty iPhone pic but here’s what it actually is: an image of my father on his zillionth ER trip of the year with me last month, checking to make sure no one came into the room who didn’t need to. This man has been with me day and night: as I slept after surgery, as I was wheeled into an MRI, as I lay abject and feeling sorry for myself. He made friends with every nurse. When I got home he blended banana shakes when I wouldn’t eat, woke me up with my meds at 3am and made me laugh every day. He gave up his own busy life to make sure I could return to mine. I’m healthy and safe because of his unyielding love. On this Father’s Day I want to celebrate all the men who defy the signals culture sends them and nurture, nurture, nurture. I love you Papa. You’re my best friend.
