Jennifer Aniston, 55, Sparks Reactions with Her People Magazine Cover after Recent Visit to Cosmetic Surgeon

A few weeks after Jennifer Aniston visited a known cosmetic surgery clinic, she appeared on People's anniversary issue cover. However, some onlookers questioned her face, suggesting that it was stiff.

Jennifer Aniston shone brightly among several A-list stars, including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, Drew Barrymore, and Dwayne Johnson, in People's 50th anniversary issue.

Captured in a moment of understated glamour, Aniston was the epitome of chic in a figure-hugging light brick red dress, complemented by elegant strappy heels. Seated gracefully by a table, legs crossed, she offered a subtle smile that seemed to distill her celebrated allure.

However, Aniston's appearance in the magazine drew mixed reactions from the online community. Some voiced concerns over her expression, with one user asking, "Is Jen trying to smile but can't?"

Another quipped, "Is Kate Middleton an intern in the illustration dept because what is going on with Jennifer's face?" Comments like "Jen's face??? Just weird" showcased confusion over her look in the photo.

Amidst the varied feedback, some came to her defense, with remarks like "Jen is so pretty," highlighting the adoration that fans continue to have for the "Friends" star.

Aniston's magazine cover came a few weeks after she was spotted leaving a renowned plastic surgery office with Sandra Bullock and Amanda Anka (Jason Bateman's wife).

The trio was seen at The Retreat At Split Rock in Greenwich, Connecticut, an establishment known for its high-end facial surgeries, including upper and lower face lifts costing between $50,000 to $100,000, as well as brow and eye lifts at around $30,000 each.

Overseen by Dr. Neil A Gordon, a specialist in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, the cosmetic surgery clinic offers facial rejuvenation and rhinoplasty as well, as his area of expertise. The facility also offers injectables like a full face of Botox costing around $3,000 and Kybella at $6,000. Although there was no confirmation as to what Aniston's treatment was, if any, she once talked about not using injectables.

In 2014, she candidly shared, "I'm not injecting anything into my face," she asserts, emphasizing the beauty of natural aging and learning from the visibly strained attempts of others to maintain their youth.

As a celebrity, paparazzi photos are nothing new to Aniston. She is vocal about her indifference towards the unwanted photographers and the critics who scrutinize celebrities.

Aniston conveyed a sense of detachment from the fleeting nature of paparazzi photographs. She said, "If they get a picture, that picture comes and goes, so who cares?"

Beyond the cameras, Aniston addressed the harsh reality of online criticism, where individuals spend their days belittling celebrities to presumably boost their self-esteem.

"Then you have 30 mean people who sit at their computers and spend their entire day picking apart and insulting celebrities about how ugly they are just so they can feel better—I guess—about themselves. I don’t understand it," she added.

Days after she visited The Retreat At Split Rock, Aniston dazzled attendees and viewers alike at the People's Choice Awards on February 18, 2024., showcasing her youthful glow and glamorous sense of style.

We previously reported that Aniston also used the event to debut a chic new hairstyle. The actress stunned at the People's Choice Awards on the evening of February 18, 2024, with her new do, which was shorter than her previous ones. The debuted tresses have ignited mixed reactions from fans.

The actress refrained from walking the red carpet yet left an indelible mark on the event when she graced the stage, showcasing the new chic haircut as she bestowed Adam Sandler with the People's Icon Award.

Aniston, who wore an elegant black dress, 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."

A fan concurred, "Love the new haircut!" "I really like her new haircut," said another user. More users shared their love for Aniston's hair, "😍😍❤️." "Jennifer Aniston your hair looks amazing," declared a fan.

However, other fans wondered why Aniston had changed her hair. An individual commented, "Her hair is just hanging like no one did it for her." Another social media user wrote, "Looks like a man. Super manly and it's all good."

Loyal fans of Aniston pointed out that her hair looked "absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!." This occasion wasn't the first time the actress had sparked reactions with her hairstyle, as she did so a month ago, in January 2024.

We previously reported about Aniston's appearance at this year's Golden Globes, where she was criticized for looking unkempt.

Several videos and images of the Hollywood icon made rounds online, which got the public's attention. Fans took to social media to express their thoughts on Aniston, with some suggesting that the actress change her look.

"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.

Besides her hair, Jennifer Aniston also takes care of her skin, trying to mitigate aging through self-care. Amidst an industry where there's a palpable pressure to remain ageless, Aniston's outlook is both grounded and enlightening.

Her beauty routine is as practical as it is effective. Starting from the age of 15, Aniston has been diligent about skincare, a habit instilled by her mother. She credited professionals across the country—from Georgia Louise in New York to Melanie Simon in Montecito—for their expertise in keeping her skin radiant.

In addition, she uses makeup to enhance her features. She opts for minimal daytime makeup, favoring products like Charlotte Tilbury's K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick and Clé de Peau Beauté concealer to accentuate her features.

Even when flying, Aniston's commitment to skincare doesn't waver. She has a travel routine that involves removing makeup with Aveeno products, hydrating with a spray bottle of Evian, and sometimes applying a facemask on longer flights. A fascinating addition to her beauty arsenal is a vibrating 24-karat gold sculpting bar, which she uses to rejuvenate her face.

Aniston's approach to beauty is informed by both her current knowledge and past regrets, notably her wish that she had used sunscreen more consistently when she was younger. Yet, she remains optimistic, drawing hope from her grandmother's radiant skin, maintained with nothing but olive oil.

This holistic and grounded approach extends to her views on more permanent alterations; Aniston has openly shared her decision to avoid Botox, with her only foray into surgery being for a non-cosmetic reason.

As Aniston gracefully ages, she embraces the natural process, even showcasing her gray hair on social media to positive acclaim. Her stance is clear: aging is a part of life, to be welcomed and embraced.
