The American flag is iconic in general. However, celebrities have been making this icon even more popular by wearing it and incorporating it into their fashion. In the image above, we have many celebrities that are showing off their patriotism with their clothing. Jessica Simpson is rocking the flag bikini while giving a peace sign, which could also be conveyed as patriotic. Katy Perry is flaunting a flag printed top with some blue, sparkly high-waisted shorts. All of these styles are current among younger girls and many people would see these images and immediately want to purchase these items. By seeing top Hollywood icons support our country through their actions, and through something as relevant as fashion, it makes us (the viewing population, or the people that admire such stars) want to be just as patriotic. We immediately want to start wearing the flag or flag printed items. They make it look cute and political at the same time. They show us that representing our country can be as easy as buying a shirt with a flag printed on it. 
Good job. Do you think that this is also decimating the meaning of the flag by wearing it?
