15 Celebs We're Not Afraid To Admit We Have A Girl Crush On

Admit it, you have a celebrity crush or two. But we're not talking about being in love with Jess from Gilmore Girls or Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights. Those are super obvious. We're talking about girl crushes. The girl crush is a very specific kind of crush. We're not actually in love with these women, but you would love to be their BFF. We can see the two of us sharing secrets, Netflix binges and way too many glasses of red wine on a girls' night out. It seems totally unfair that we can't be best friends with these celebs, whether they're actresses, singers, writers, lifestyle gurus, etc. But we can dream and hope (and we definitely will). Here are 15 celebs we're not afraid to admit that we have a girl crush on.

15 Lauren Graham

We all fell in love with Lauren Graham back in the good old days of The WB when she stole our hearts as coffee-guzzling, fast-talking, fun-loving mom Lorelai Gilmore. But she's not just cool because she portrayed our favorite TV mom ever for seven seasons. Nope. Lauren stole our hearts once again as another interesting mom, Sarah, on the tissues-were-always-necessary drama Parenthood. Lauren is hilarious in her own right and even penned a beautifully written book, Someday, Someday, Maybe, a fictionalized account of her struggles to achieve acting success.

14 Sutton Foster

Sutton Foster is a super talented Broadway star/singer/dancer who also can really act. She played a former showgirl from Vegas who helped Emily Gilmore teach ballet on Bunheads (also from Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino) and now she's starring on the millennial dramedy Younger. Like Lauren Graham, Sutton Foster is funny and talks super fast, and we would love to hang out with her and talk about what's like to be on Broadway. She's also going to be in the Gilmore Girls revial and she has really beautiful shiny hair (just had to say it).

13 Hilary Duff

We've been fans of Hilary Duff for years and years. She's always starred in super fun movies like Raise Your Voice and she puts out solid pop albums, like her latest, Breathe In Breathe Out. But we really are girl crushing on her for her role as Sutton Foster's BFF in Younger and for her Instagram. Hilary has an amazing Instagram account. She shares cute photos of her son and recipes that she's made from her sister's blog/cookbook/TV show. Also, she has blue hair sometimes and is not a size zero, so that just makes her even cooler. We really wish we could sit down with her and just chat about our lives.

12 Amy Schumer

You just have to love Amy. She's got a real mouth on her and that's a really good thing. She's not afraid to talk about love, dating, what goes down in the bedroom, and what it's like to be a woman in this day and age. She's super beautiful and, again, not a size zero, and that's so refreshing. We have to give props to any female comedian who's so fearless. She's also absolutely killing it in all categories of entertainment, from her hilarious and clever movie Trainwreck to her TV show Inside Amy Schumer to her stand-up to her upcoming memoir.

11 Mindy Kaling

Um, how could we not include Mindy??? That would be absolutely crazy. We're beyond obsessed with her sitcom The Mindy Project and basically just in love with every single little thing about her. She's not a size zero or even a two (that has been coming up quite a bit on this list… ) and she's basically just the best role model in the world. She's funny, an amazing writer (you should read her two memoirs if for some weird reason you haven't already), and very driven. We'd love to pick her brain about, well, everything under the sun.

10 Shonda Rhimes

Okay, Shonda, how do you do it? We are dying to be BFFs with you and ask all about your amazingly busy life and get some organizational tips. We know, we know, you've told the press before that you're not into the work/life balance question and that you have bigger fish to fry. But still, you'd be an awesome friend to have. You're so supportive of other women and, oh yeah, you always have three (THREE!) shows on Thursday nights. Even when your show How To Get Away With Murder ended, that didn't stop Shonda -- she has a new show, The Catch, on the air right now.

9 Gwyneth Paltrow

Yeah, yeah, we're not supposed to love her because she's apparently vain and all that. But we can't help it, we think she's cool. We want to be friends with her so she can a.) brag about her pizza oven in her backyard and b.) cook for us. She's produced three beautiful cookbooks, which provide us with endless food inspiration and some entertainment too, if we're being honest. We can't think of a better girl crush to have because she's a foodie just like the rest of us.

8 Ella Woodward

Ella has become pretty famous lately, and for good reason: she's the girl behind the vegan food brand Deliciously Ella. She runs a blog of the same name, has a beautiful and inspiring Instagram account that she updates every single day, has released two awesome cookbooks and is working on a third, and even found time in her absolutely nuts schedule to open a deli with her soon-to-be husband in her city of London. She proves that eating well doesn't have to be super lame or boring, and we love her for it. A lot of other people have girl crushes, too: she recently did a press event at a Toronto bookstore and around 500 people attended.

7 Tina Fey

Tina Fey is the ultimate funny girl. She would make such a funny friend, and everyone needs at least one of those (if not more). She made us laugh with her brilliant sitcom 30 Rock, her memoir Bossypants, and her hit movies like Baby Mama and Sisters. She could definitely cheer us up at any given moment, no matter what we were going through.

6 Lena Dunham

Whether you totally love or totally hate Girls, you have to admit that Lena is a force to be reckoned with. Her pre-fame movie Tiny Furniture is an interesting, brave and honest look at what it's really like to try to make it in the world after college, and with every single interview she gives, she becomes more and more likeable. She just seems to really get what it means to be a woman in 2016. We would love to chat with her, even for 15 minutes.

5 Bethenny Frankel

We just love this girl. She not only made something of herself out of absolutely nothing and created her SkinnyGirl empire, but she's also absolutely hilarious. She's the definition of someone who tells it exactly like she sees it, so naturally, she's reality TV gold. She took a hiatus from The Real Housewives of New York for a while there and broke our hearts, but for the past two seasons, she's back, and it's amazing. We have a huge girl crush for her tough girl reactions to the crazy women she deals with on a daily basis.

4 Katie Lee

This TV foodie and cookbook author is absolutely adorable, let's just be honest. She's got the cutest Southern accent, and sure, she became known after being married to Billy Joel, but she's got real talent and personality. We love following her on Instagram and seeing her adventures living in the Hamptons (plus we're pretty jealous, let's not lie). She called her latest cookbook Endless Summer because she wants to live in an endless summer, and we are totally on board with that idea.

3 Jennifer Lawrence

Yup, we're still crushing on Jen Law. She eats Snickers bars and junk food on a regular basis, she trips every time she wins an award (okay, not every time but it sure seems like it), and she's basically a really cool girl. She doesn't seem famous at all and really cares about the craft of acting, and we dig a girl with ambition. She also stars in anything that strikes her fancy and speaks to her, from action flicks to indie gems to Oscar-worthy dramas, and we respect that.

2 Jessica Seinfeld

Mrs. Jerry Seinfeld has the most hilarious and yet drool-worthy Instagram account that we could possibly find. She's just as funny as her famous comedian husband and she can cook, too. She blew us away with her cookbook The Can't Cook Book and taught us how to, well, cook, as the name suggests. She's always Instagramming creative concoctions like breakfast bowls filled with all kinds of weird/amazing seeds and fruit. Plus she's got a super clever, snarky sense of humor: she loves to announce to her many followers that, nope, she doesn't need them telling her that they're pissed off at her or don't want to eat what she's posting.

1 Taylor Swift

How could Taylor not be on this list? Just not possible. She's our ultimate girl crush because we would love to chat about our dating lives with her. She must give the best advice to her girlfriends. We don't think that anyone understands what life as a twentysomething girl is like as well as T-Swift -- all we have to do is listen to any one of her amazing hit songs. Plus, the girl loves to bake, so we can see ourselves having a Starbucks-fuelled baking session and talking about our ex-boyfriends. Sounds like our dream afternoon.
