Jennifer Aniston has solidified her status as the reigning queen of commanding attention in a simple little black dress.

Despite the LBD being seen as a safe choice by some, the Friends star has consistently proven how classy and influential it can be.
Over the years, Jennifer has played around with the look, opting for different lengths, shapes, and fabrics to keep it exciting.
By steering clear of passing trends, she has managed to maintain a timeless and chic style, steering clear of any ‘worst dressed’ lists.

Jennifer has played with the look over the decades to keep it fresh, choosing different lengths, silhouettes and materials

Over the years, Jennifer has experimented with various styles to keep her look updated, switching up lengths, silhouettes, and fabrics for a fresh and modern vibe.

Although she does deviate from her trusty all-black ensemble from time to time, her latest two red carpet looks showed she is not parting ways with her beloved LBD anytime soon (pictured on Sunday)

Despite occasionally straying from her go-to all-black attire, her most recent appearances on the red carpet confirm that she still has a soft spot for her favorite little black dress (as shown on Sunday).
The well-known actress from “Bruce Almighty” has been praising the timeless elegance of the classic LBD for years, often setting her own fashion trends.
During her iconic portrayal of Rachel Green on the hit show Friends from 1994 to 2004, she made ‘The Rachel’ hairstyle famous globally. This shoulder-length layered haircut, created by hairstylist Chris McMillan, became one of the most sought-after and imitated styles of the decade.
As a devoted follower of the LBD trend in Hollywood, Jennifer has continued to keep the sophisticated look in vogue, despite it being almost a hundred years since Coco Chanel made it a mainstream fashion statement.
While she does occasionally mix up her wardrobe choices, her recent red carpet appearances confirm that her love for the timeless black dress is here to stay.
Jennifer has been a fan of black dresses long before she achieved stardom in Hollywood. Back in 1995, she graced the Primetime Emmy Awards, just a year after Friends premiered, alongside co-star Matthew Perry. Her chic black strapless dress accentuated her slim figure, while she added an extra touch of glamour with a pair of elegant evening gloves.
At the premiere of her film The Object Of My Affection in 1998, Jennifer once again opted for a strapless black dress, this time pairing it with a matching shrug for a coordinated look.
