Aniston's approach to fashion extends beyond the glitz and glam of red carpet events. When it comes to her style, she demonstrates resourcefulness and a nod to nostalgia. In a 2021 interview, she revealed that she kept a dress from her "Friends" co-star Courteney Cox's on-show wardrobe, a floral piece with black lace, epitomizing her ability to blend contemporary style with cherished memories.

She previously shared, "I went into her line of clothes and I pulled out a dress that Monica wore. I still have it and wear [it] to this day and it fits."

Jennifer Aniston stunned at the People's Choice Awards on the evening of February 18, 2024. The actress refrained from walking the red carpet yet left an indelible mark on the event when she graced the stage, showcasing a new chic haircut as she bestowed Adam Sandler with the People's Icon Award.

Aniston, who wore an elegant black gown, was bestowed with the same recognition in November 2019. Later in the ceremony, the actress also clinched her own accolade for the outstanding drama TV star in "The Morning Show."

The "Murder Mystery" star's ensemble featured an asymmetrical hemline black dress that stopped above her knee and had subtle pleats on the sides. She complemented her look with a dainty necklace and strappy heels adorning her ankles.

Moreover, her new sleek lob touching her shoulders deviated from the '90s-inspired style she flaunted at the Golden Globes on January 7, 2024. Fans had conflicting opinions about the 55-year-old's new hair, with some writing, "This haircut suits her."

"What's with the uncombed hair?" one person said, as another one agreed that she looked messy, adding that "the hair is throwing me off." "Same hair for the last 20 years," another wrote, while a third suggested that Aniston try a new hair color. "You have the same look and color since 1999," another pointed out. "You are gorgeous, but you need a change."

Page Six particularly called Aniston's haircut "The Rachel," paying homage to the star's beloved character on "Friends." However, some social media users thought otherwise and claimed that Rachel's hair was "bigger and more elaborate."

The actress, who famously portrayed Rachel Green on "Friends," once expressed her thoughts about the iconic "Rachel" haircut. Although she didn't hate it, Aniston did not like it and felt better with her style as she aged.

"That was kind of cringy for me," she said of her hair back then. As years passed, she learned to embrace her beauty regardless of aging. The actress highlighted her appreciation for a more natural approach, emphasizing the importance of hair health over perfection.

In recent years, Jennifer Aniston launched her haircare brand, LolaVie, which she sometimes promotes on her Instagram account. Some of her products include vegan and cruelty-free items while the brand uses recyclable packaging wherever possible.
