Jennifer Aniston Just Debuted ‘The Rachel’ Haircut 2.0 – Therealfeeds – It’s Unseen

Some ’90s trends are timeless: slip dresses, bomber jackets, and baguette bags among them. And let’s not forget how Jennifer Aniston turned “The Rachel” haircut into a pop-culture phenomenon in Friends.

Jen is certainly keeping us glued to the edge of our seats with her ever-evolving haircuts and styles. Over the past seven months alone, we’ve been treated to a dizzying array of bobs—namely, a sleek collarbone-length lob she wore at the 2024 SAG Awards, a “fluffy lob” at the People’s Choice Awards, and a short, side-parted bob that made headlines after the Emmy FYC event for The Morning Show season four in June.

Jen then did a U-turn by adding beachy waves to her 2024 hair repertoire. And now it seems she’s going back to her roots.

In a Reel posted on July 30, Jennifer Aniston can be seen wearing her trademark glossy blowout with choppy, face-framing layers and flicked-out ends. The shape, created with a round brush, is undeniably a throwback to Rachel Green in the late ’90s and early noughties when she was growing out her short, sharp crop.

Key differences, however, are the bottom-heavy layers and blonder hue. In fact, this is the lightest Jen’s hair has been in a while, having traded in her sandy blond shade for summer 2024’s biggest color trend: butter-blond highlights, artfully woven throughout the collarbone-skimming lengths.

The Reel has already garnered over 175,000 likes, not just because Jen is serving up some serious nostalgia, but for its veiled clapback to JD Vance’s “childless cat lady” comments that resurfaced on July 24.

At the time, Jennifer Aniston took to her Instagram Stories to repost the tweet by attorney Ron Filipkowski, featuring JD’s interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. In the caption, she wrote: “I truly can’t believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States,”

she said. “All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.”
