Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have been outspoken in their dislike of US President Donald Trump over the past four years, so it's no surprise that the A-list couple were first in line for a Hollywood victory parade to celebrate Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' win in the US elections.
The couple have been the subject of tweeted tirades from Trump over the years, with the president once referring to Legend as a “boring musician".
During the parade, the pair hung out of the sunroof and windows of their car to celebrate in the streets of West Hollywood, as onlookers lined the streets and cheered.
Taking to Instagram, Teigen shared a photo of her children, Luna, 4, and Miles, 2, watching the election, along with the caption: “Democracy restored, faith renewed.”
Before the couple headed to Santa Monica Boulevard, 34-year-old Teigen lamented on Twitter that she was "jealous of everyone partying in the streets, Beverly Hills quiet". She then filmed herself getting ready, saying: “I’m getting out there.”
The Sports Illustrated cover star and Cravings author was soon all over social media, pictured celebrating and saying of the impromptu parade: "Everyone is so beautiful and so happy, I'm crying."
Teigen also posted a photo of herself with incoming Vice President Kamala Harris, in a move replicated by Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow, who shared an image of herself with Harris, writing: "A momentous day for women all around the globe as Kamala Harris makes history. Congratulations Madame Vice President."
The Iron Man actress, 48, stylishly drove through the parade in a white convertible Mercedes-Benz, with her TV producer husband, Brad Falchuk, in the passenger seat waving to the crowds.
Also spotted at the parade were 21-year-old singer and Justin Bieber protegee, Madison Beer, and Hawaii Five-O actress Cara Santana.

Common OCD symptoms and how they manifest
Checking: the obsession or thoughts focus on some harm coming from things not being as they should, which usually centre around the theme of safety. For example, the obsession is “the building will burn down”, therefore the compulsion is checking that the oven is switched off.
Contamination: the obsession is focused on the presence of germs, dirt or harmful bacteria and how this will impact the person and/or their loved ones. For example, the obsession is “the floor is dirty; me and my family will get sick and die”, the compulsion is repetitive cleaning.
Orderliness: the obsession is a fear of sitting with uncomfortable feelings, or to prevent harm coming to oneself or others. Objectively there appears to be no logical link between the obsession and compulsion. For example,” I won’t feel right if the jars aren’t lined up” or “harm will come to my family if I don’t line up all the jars”, so the compulsion is therefore lining up the jars.
Intrusive thoughts: the intrusive thought is usually highly distressing and repetitive. Common examples may include thoughts of perpetrating violence towards others, harming others, or questions over one’s character or deeds, usually in conflict with the person’s true values. An example would be: “I think I might hurt my family”, which in turn leads to the compulsion of avoiding social gatherings.
Hoarding: the intrusive thought is the overvaluing of objects or possessions, while the compulsion is stashing or hoarding these items and refusing to let them go. For example, “this newspaper may come in useful one day”, therefore, the compulsion is hoarding newspapers instead of discarding them the next day.
