Jennifer Aniston, 55, Wears Short Tube Dress at Award Ceremony, Dividing Fans over Her ‘Modest’ Look
At this year’s People’s Choice Awards, Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston, 55, once again proved her timeless appeal and fashion sense, choosing a strapless flowy black tube dress with ruche detailing for the event. The ensemble, paired with black heels, minimal jewelry, and light makeup, captured attention for its simple elegance.
Aniston’s choice sparked diverse reactions on social media, underscoring the ongoing dialogue about celebrity fashion and personal style. Praise for her look was widespread, with fans complimenting her for her classic appearance.
Admirers described her as “timeless and a class act ,” appreciating her “modest style” and how she “always looks terrific & effortlessly chic.” One supporter specifically noted, “She dressed appropriately!” capturing the sentiment that Aniston’s fashion choice was fitting for the occasion.
However, not all feedback was positive. Some social media users expressed disappointment, with comments such as “This dress ain’t it,” and “Another boring black dress!” Someone even went so far as to critique the dress’s simplicity, citing, “It’s a black tube dress ♀️♀️♀️♀️♀️.”
Aniston shared behind-the-scenes glimpses of her award show preparation on Instagram, showcasing the collective effort of her team. The snapshots ranged from last-minute adjustments to candid selfies with her crew and even an endearing moment with Adam Sandler on stage.
Additionally, a charming snapshot featured Aniston’s dogs with a People’s Choice Award in between them, and a video captured her blowing a kiss to the camera. This post provided fans with a personal insight into how she gets ready for an award show.
Aniston’s approach to fashion extends beyond the glitz and glam of red carpet events. When it comes to her style, she demonstrates resourcefulness and a nod to nostalgia. In a 2021 interview, she revealed that she kept a dress from her “Friends” co-star Courteney Cox’s on-show wardrobe, a floral piece with black lace, epitomizing her ability to blend contemporary style with cherished memories.
She previously shared, “I went into her line of clothes and I pulled out a dress that Monica wore. I still have it and wear [it] to this day and it fits.”
Drawing back to the variety of reactions to Jennifer Aniston’s outfit, the online comments made by many underscore the subjective nature of fashion and the diverse expectations of celebrity appearances.

Jennifer Aniston stunned at the People’s Choice Awards on the evening of February 18, 2024. The actress refrained from walking the red carpet yet left an indelible mark on the event when she graced the stage, showcasing a new chic haircut as she bestowed Adam Sandler with the People’s Icon Award.
Aniston, who wore an elegant black gown, was bestowed with the same recognition in November 2019. Later in the ceremony, the actress also clinched her own accolade for the outstanding drama TV star in “The Morning Show.”
The “Murder Mystery” star’s ensemble featured an asymmetrical hemline black dress that stopped above her knee and had subtle pleats on the sides. She complemented her look with a dainty necklace and strappy heels adorning her ankles.
Moreover, her new sleek lob touching her shoulders deviated from the ’90s-inspired style she flaunted at the Golden Globes on January 7, 2024. Fans had conflicting opinions about the 55-year-old’s new hair, with some writing, “This haircut suits her.”
A fan concurred, “Love the new haircut!” “I really like her new haircut,” said another user. More user shared their love for Aniston’s hair, “❤️.” “Jennifer Aniston your hair looks amazing,” declared a fan.
However other fans wondered why Aniston had changed her hair. An individual commented, “Her hair is just hanging like no one did it for her.” Another social media user wrote, “Looks like a man. Super manly and it’s all good.”
Loyal fans of Aniston pointed out that her hair looked “absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!.” This occasion wasn’t the first time the actress had sparked reactions with her hairstyle, as she did so a month ago, in January 2024.

As the New Year came, Aniston embraced a laid-back vibe, showcasing her texturized hair during the Golden Globes 2024, which some suggested looked unkempt.
Several videos and images of the Hollywood icon made rounds online, which got the public’s attention. Fans took to social media to express their thoughts on Aniston, with some suggesting that the actress change her look.
“What’s with the uncombed hair?” one person said, as another one agreed that she looked messy, adding that “the hair is throwing me off.” “Same hair for the last 20 years,” another wrote, while a third suggested that Aniston try a new hair color. “You have the same look and color since 1999,” another pointed out. “You are gorgeous, but you need a change.”
Page Six particularly called Aniston’s haircut “The Rachel,” paying homage to the star’s beloved character on “Friends.” However, some social media users thought otherwise and claimed that Rachel’s hair was “bigger and more elaborate.”
The actress, who famously portrayed Rachel Green on “Friends,” once expressed her thoughts about the iconic “Rachel” haircut. Although she didn’t hate it, Aniston did not like it and felt better with her style as she aged.
“That was kind of cringy for me,” she said of her hair back then. As years passed, she learned to embrace her beauty regardless of aging. The actress highlighted her appreciation for a more natural approach, emphasizing the importance of hair health over perfection.
In recent years, Jennifer Aniston launched her haircare brand, LolaVie, which she sometimes promotes on her Instagram account. Some of her products include vegan and cruelty-free items while the brand uses recyclable packaging wherever possible.
