Jennifer Aniston has never wavered from her signature style throughout her decades in the spotlight. She first stole America’s heart with her iconic "The Rachel" haircut (at some point, nearly everyone has brought a photo of her into their hair appointment) and a uniform of crewneck baby tees, fitted knits, mini skirts, and straight-leg jeans on the set of Friends. Off camera, Aniston is a longtime expert at effortlessly stylish, classic, and approachable power dressing, remaining loyal to a few style heroes—among them strappy heels, strapless column maxi and A-line silhouettes, pops of metallics and red amidst a sea of neutrals, tailoring, and a genuine smile. She’s paid subtle nods to trends like ‘90s minimalism and Y2K tube tops, but she’s always looked pretty much the same, which is to say unfailingly chic and impeccably put-together. Ahead, see 32 of the best Jennifer Aniston style moments of all time, providing endless classic yet inspired outfit inspiration.
