Jennifer Aniston revived her iconic Rachel haircut at the Golden Globes
At last night's 81st Golden Globes, Jennifer Aniston celebrated her signature style in more ways that one. Not only did the actress opt for a very-her timeless black dress (a strapless column gown by Dolce & Gabbana, featuring a fitted bodice and embellished, scalloped skirt – making her one of our best-dressed of the night), but her hairstyle was one that felt similarly synonymous with the star.
Indeed, it hailed the return of 'The Rachel' – Aniston's layered long bob that was made so popular by the character she played in the '90s sitcom Friends it immediately became iconic.
Endearingly familiar, Aniston's new shorter haircut fell just below the collarbones, with soft layers enhancing the overall body and bounce. The choppy finish – on the cut and also its straight and piece-y styling – felt very Rachel in season one of Friends (the later episodes). Through bringing it bang up to date for 2024 were Aniston's quiet luxury beige-blonde highlights – which looked endlessly elegant on this year's Golden Globes red carpet.
It seems Aniston has made a u-turn from her dislike of the haircut. Discussing it in a 2011 interview with Allure, she jokingly described her hairstylist Chris McMillan as “the bane of my existence, because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look”, adding: “I think it was the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen”.
But fast-forward 13 years and Aniston has never looked chicer. As a nominee for the Globes’ Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Drama category, she represented her acclaimed Apple TV+ drama, The Morning Show, which also stars Reese Witherspoon.
In keeping with Aniston's sartorial codes, her nails were lacquered in a rich red wine shade – The GelBottle's Red Velvet. A hue she rotates with pillar-box red, nude and milky white, it helps form the perfect capsule nail colour collection.
