Jennifer Aniston stole the spotlight at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards with her timeless and elegant look. Despite skipping the red carpet, the 55-year-old actress wowed the audience when she appeared on stage in a breathtaking strapless black gown to present Adam Sandler with the prestigious People’s Icon Award. This was a significant moment for Aniston, as it coincided with the four-year anniversary of her receiving the same award in 2019. Later in the evening, she also took home the award for drama TV star of the year for her role in The Morning Show.
Aniston’s outfit exuded simplicity and sophistication, featuring an asymmetrical hemline that hit above the knee and side pleats for an added touch of elegance. She completed her look with a delicate necklace and ankle-strap heels, showcasing her signature style to perfection.

Aniston showed off a stylish lob haircut that fell just above her shoulders, a bit shorter than the ’90s-inspired hairstyle she rocked at the Golden Globes earlier this year. Following the attention her Globes hairdo received, Aniston’s trusted hairstylist and pal, Chris McMillan, took to Instagram to reveal his goal of achieving a “sexy, natural, and effortless” look by adding “invisible layers” throughout.
