Jennifer Aniston Rocks 'The Rachel' Haircut At 81st Golden Globes
Jessica Wilkins Jennifer Aniston rocked "The Rachel" haircut at Sunday's 81st annual Golden Globe Awards to the surprise and delight of Friends fans everywhere.
The 54-year-old actress stepped out on the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, and showed off her newly chopped locks, which many online compared to her iconic hairstyle from the sitcom in which she played Rachel Green.
Aniston showed up Sunday to the awards in a strapless black floor-length gown, column style. Just below the waist, the dress was completed with intricate beading in a mermaid-scale design all the way to the bottom.
On top, the actress kept her infamous locks blown out gently and her makeup natural to match the simplicity and elegance of her dress.

Aniston attended the ceremony in support her Apple TV+ series, The Morning Show, which is nominated in the Best Television Drama category. Aniston herself won a Golden Globe in 2003 for her role as Rachel Green on Friends. She's received four additional nominations throughout her career.
The awards ceremony was the first public red carpet appearance since the tragic death of her Friends co-star, Matthew Perry.
Perry died on Oct. 28 at the age of 54 after years of publicly struggling with substance abuse. The cause of death was later confirmed to be the acute effects of ketamine.
Aniston attended Perry's private funeral service and later honored her co-star in a touching Instagram post, writing, "Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before… We loved him deeply. He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be."
The Morning Show star concluded her message, writing, "Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying 'could you BE any crazier?' Rest little brother. You always made my day."
Aniston later shared that she was texting with Perry the day he died.
"He was happy. He was healthy. He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy -- that's all I know," Aniston told Variety during an emotional conversation alongside her Morning Show co-star, Reese Witherspoon. "I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty. He was not in pain. He wasn't struggling. He was happy."
The 2024 Golden Globes, hosted by Jo Koy, is on Sunday, Jan. 7, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS and streams on Paramount+. Check out ETonline.com for complete Golden Globes coverage and the full list of winners.
