While some may think Aniston has frequently worn an outfit similar to the Oscar de la Renta gown she recently rocked, Page Six states that it was at the 2024 SAG Awards that the "We're the Millers" talent decided to switch things up with a sparkling silver gown from Celine.

According to the news outlet, before this year's Emmys and prior to the SAG Awards, Aniston would typically opt for a little black dress (LBD) for red carpets.
However, she switched her style up even more when she donned a red Reformation dress (which cost under $300) for the Emmy Awards pre-show event earlier this year (2024).
