Jennifer Aniston’s Best Red Carpet Fashion Moments 1998-2024: Photos

When Jennifer Aniston hits the red carpet, you know all eyes are on her.

Now, Aniston normally isn’t the type to step onto the red carpet in a daring, mind-bending colorful gown; she’s normally the star who knows what looks good on her and works with that. Think about it: she normally arrives in something that perfectly hugs her curves, usually in the colors of red, white, or black.

For many celebs, a little black dress is a last resort option, but not for the Friends star. She always knows how to change it up and make the trend fresh as heck every time, from rocking ruffles or ensuring there’s a hypnotic cutout somewhere. Truly, she’s the Queen of the LBD trend.

No matter the look, she says it’s all about confidence. She told Geo TV, “When we feel supported from within, we feel our best. And our confidence to take on the whole world outside comes from way deeper.”

So, in honor of her classic and effortless fashion, let’s take a look back at our favorite red carpet moments from the leading lady. See Aniston’s best red-carpet fashion moments from 1998 to now below!
