Before her Friends character gave her name to one of the most famous haircuts of the ’90s (The Rachel, of course), Jennifer Aniston had already perfected the art of effortless style. Whether in slinky slip dresses, bandeau gowns, or barely-there strappy sandals, her approach to fashion was simple but undeniably impactful—remaining a mainstay on Pinterest boards and throwback Instagram accounts several decades later.
From Picture Perfect to Object Of My Affection, she rocked up to premieres in minimalist floor-sweeping gowns (usually black), worn with natural hair, and a smattering of diamonds. When off-duty, she embodied California cool in easy tank tops and the occasional flip-flop. (How that has come back around, huh?). Easy glamour was her calling card—Aniston is a laidback Los Angeles girl, through and through.
Fast forward a few decades, and her influence hasn’t faded. The new wave of it girls—Kaia, Bella, Gigi, and Hailey—have all been spotted channelling her fuss-free approach to dressing, proving that Aniston’s signature ’90s style is just as relevant today as it ever was. Aniston herself continues to evolve both her personal brand and sartorial formula too: whether that’s as the founder of haircare brand LolaVie, or in her glam red carpet appearances or starry engagements for her modern franchise phenom, The Morning Show.
We’re rolling it back and taking inspiration from the pro. Below, see 20 times Jennifer Aniston aced strappy minidresses, monochrome basics, and micro shades.
