Celebrities may be nothing more than humans going about their lives as humans do—just like us!—but one thing they definitely don’t have to worry about is the phenomenon the rest of the first world refers to as “taking time off work.” If you’re a celebrity, and you’re not shooting a movie or a TV show or touring the world or working on an ad campaign or putting in face time at a public event, then congratulations! You’re on vacation right now.
Your friend may post beachy photos geotagged in Miami every day when you know full well she’s just sitting at her desk shivering from the A/C, but with celebrities, it’s authentic. You can practically feel the sunshine, smell the sea breeze, visualize the hot-dog legs right in front of you—this is vicarious living at its best.
Whether you’re planning a trip to Mykonos as we speak (but haven’t told your boss just yet) or just need to reassure yourself that there’s life outside the office (there is!), let these 25 sun-drenched photos of the most beautiful women in the world light the way. Life is still worth living, even if you maxed out your PTO hours on dark winter mornings when you were too hungover to get out of bed.
Joan Smalls knows best: Nothing says "I'm on vacation" like showing off your hard-earned, Victoria's Secret–approved ass poolside.

You can also skip the tropical vacation and hit up a cool new city instead. Beijing will do in a pinch—just put on your Givenchy rottweiler graphic tee and go.

Alessandra Ambrosio coined the #foreveronvacation hashtag.
For a less all-eyes-on-me approach, make like Ruby Rose and gaze wistfully down at the sand on the shoreline, fully clothed, with Mykonos looming in the background.

It's important that you not forget the baby, but don't forget the in-flight travel essentials, either. Especially not the vodka.
