It’s almost hard to believe that it was just nine months ago when Jennifer Aniston shocked us all with her stunning appearance at the red carpet, wearing that iconic white silk gown designed by John Galliano for Dior. Time seems to have flown by since then, and now the 51-year-old actress has once again captured our attention at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards with a completely different look and vibe. It’s amazing how things can change in such a short span of time.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, red carpet events have come to a halt, leading to the first-ever virtual Emmys. Nominees, such as Aniston, who received yet another nomination for her role as Alex Levy on The Morning Show, were filmed from the comfort of their own homes. However, this did not deter many, including Aniston, from delivering breathtaking fashion moments to their fans.
Aniston, in fact, transformed the Emmys stage into her own personal red carpet. As a nominee for lead actress in a drama series, she stunned in a captivating black silk slip-like gown, complemented by a diamond necklace, strappy black sandals, and elegantly textured beach waves. Showcasing her style and grace, she joined Jimmy Kimmel in opening the show and presenting the first award of the evening.
Ahead of her surprise appearance at the Emmys, Aniston delighted her fans by sharing a collection of behind-the-scenes photos capturing the moments leading up to her big moment. One particularly adorable photo showcased her alongside her longtime hairstylist and dear friend Chris McMillan, who effortlessly crafted gorgeous textured beach waves to perfectly complement her sun-kissed California glow. It was evident that Aniston’s dedicated styling team was tirelessly working until the very last minute, ensuring every little detail, including dress alterations, was flawlessly attended to.
“The invitation for the night is simple: ‘come as you are, but put in some effort,'” the message stated in a laid-back manner. “If you feel like dressing up, go for it! But if you’re in the UK and it’s 3am, feel free to join us in your designer pajamas, comfortably recording from your bed! Our goal is to collaborate with you to create your perfect moments, taking into account your preferences and comfort levels – where you want to be, who you want to be with, and what you want to wear.”
Aniston is both a co-star and co-producer of The Morning Show, a series that delves into the impact of the #MeToo movement on a news network. Aniston expressed her excitement for the show earlier this year, expressing gratitude for the positive feedback it has received.
“You know, it was quite a wild ride, to be honest. Apple was in the process of creating their own streaming service, so we were all in this adventure together – it was a mix of excitement and fear. But, you know what? It was incredibly fulfilling,” she shared with PEOPLE. “Being so deeply immersed in such a sensitive and sensitive topic, which is also highly important in today’s world, was a unique experience. It’s like I’m still feeling the rush, like I’ve been out in the wind for too long – that’s the best way to put it.”
