The star of ‘The Morning Show’ took home the honor of being named Drama TV Star of the Year at the recent awards show.
During the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, Jennifer Aniston made a statement with her timeless and chic attire. Despite skipping the red carpet, the 55-year-old actress wowed the audience as she appeared on stage in a beautiful strapless black gown to present Adam Sandler with the People’s Icon Award. This moment was particularly special as it coincided with the four-year anniversary of Aniston herself receiving the same accolade in 2019. Later in the evening, Aniston also took home the trophy for drama TV star of the year for her role in The Morning Show.
Aniston’s ensemble exuded elegance with its simple yet sophisticated design, featuring an asymmetrical hemline that ended above the knee and side pleats for a touch of flair. She completed the look with a delicate necklace and ankle-strap heels, staying true to her distinctive style.
Aniston showed off a stylish lob that skimmed her shoulders and was a bit shorter than the ’90s-style hairdo she rocked at the Golden Globes earlier this year. Following the excitement over her Golden Globes hairstyle, Aniston’s trusty hairstylist and pal, Chris McMillan, revealed on Instagram that he wanted to achieve a “sexy, natural, and easy” look with hidden layers for added texture.
