Forget about those worn-out tank tops and flip flops! For this year's Fourth of July festivities, Bravolebs were all about patriotic swimwear. And with these scorching hot temps, who could blame them? From sexy American flag-inspired one-pieces to red, white, and blue bikinis, celebs like LeeAnne Locken, Brittany Cartwright, and Gizelle Bryant celebrated America's birthday in style. A couple of Real Housewives even blessed us with bikini throwback photos that you just have to see for yourself. 

Scroll down for all of the red, white, and blue fabulousness. 

Brittany Cartwright rocked her stars and stripes swimsuit lakeside with fiancée Jax Taylor.

You can always count on Mercedes "MJ" Javid to come through with her matching swimwear accessories.
