June 8 was national best friends’ day, and good friends are hard to find, right? Fortunately for some female celebrities, they have found lifelong companions in other A-listers.
These Hollywood besties have been by each other’s side though the good, the bad, the scandals and emotional periods.
Last week we talked about 5 MALE BEST FRIENDS IN HOLLYWOOD, today we will be talking about 5 FEMALE BEST FRIENDS IN HOLLYWOOD.
- CAMERON DIAZ AND DREW BARRYMORE
This funny pair’s friendship predates their star-turning roles in the Charlie’s Angels movie franchise. They actually grew close over coffee.
Back then, Drew Barrymore worked as a barista, and one of her frequent customers was Cameron Diaz.
The two maintained a low-key friendship until 2002, when Barrymore offered Diaz a role on the Charlie’s Angels reboot she was producing.
Since then, the two have developed an unbreakable bond, with Barrymore revealing in 2018 that she considers Diaz her sister.
In September 2020, Barrymore invited Diaz to be one of the first guests on her talk show, and they spoke about their relationship over the years.
- ASHLEY TISDALE AND VANESSA HUDGENS
Tisdale and Hudgens formed a lasting bond while working together on several projects.
The Suite Life of Zack and Cody alum played Sharpay Evans to the Spring Breakers star’s Gabriella Montez in 2006, 2007 & 2008’s High School Musical.
Their friendship continued long after the cameras stopped rolling, despite their onscreen alter-egos’ rivalry in the trilogy.
Hudgens later served as one of Tisdale’s bridesmaids when she and musician Christopher French tied the knot in 2014.
Ashley Tisdale welcomed her daughter Jupiter in March 2021 and two months later when Vanessa met her, they had an instant connection.
- NICOLE KIDMAN AND NAOMI WATTS
The actresses’ friendship of over thirty years started while filming the 1991 film Flirting, but the two had known of each other for many years prior.
They actually attended the same Sydney high school and were part of the same Australian theatre company.
“We’ve gone through a lot together over a significant amount of time, that history binds you. We have a strong respect and love for one another,” Naomi said in 2017.
Nicole also said, “Naomi Watts and I are very, very good friends and have maintained that through so many things.
I think that’s really rare, particularly for actresses, and I take a lot of pride in that.”
- JENNIFER ANISTON AND COURTENEY COX
Iconic ‘Friends’ duo Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are the best of friends in real life too.

They remain BFFs on and off screen, and were each other’s maid of honors in 2015 and 2018 respectively.
Jennifer is also godmother of Cox’s daughter, Coco. Jennifer said in 2014 that she and Cox have experienced the highs and lows of life together.
