It’s been so long since ‘Friends’ ended, Jennifer Aniston suddenly brought Rachel back in an impressive way that made fans extremely excited

The 56-year-old actress turned heads in Los Angeles—not for who she was with, but for what she wore. This one look sent netizens straight back to the ’90s.

Jennifer Aniston sparked a wave of nostalgia this week after being spotted in Los Angeles alongside “Game of Thrones” actor Pedro Pascal and another companion. Her outfit quickly caught attention online, with many fans saying it looked strikingly familiar.

Aniston, 56, stepped out in a white T-shirt, a fitted black vest, and dark bootcut jeans—a combo that instantly reminded fans of one of Rachel Green’s looks on the series “Friends,” which aired from 1994 to 2004.

The subtle throwback didn’t go unnoticed, with netizens flooding social media to point out the uncanny resemblance. One Reddit user simply remarked on how amazing she looked, while another on Instagram joked, “She’s wearing her dad’s pants.”

Others embraced the nostalgia with affection. A fan of the iconic series wrote, “She looks just like she did on the Friends finale 21 years ago (even wearing the same outfit) [sic],” while another posted, “she’s giving rachel green realness. love her style 💚💚💚 [sic].”

One netizen was surprised to see Aniston seemingly wearing the same outfit from the “Friends” finale. Someone else wondered if it was the same ensemble Rachel wore when she was preparing to leave for Paris.

A fan later recognized the look as the one worn during the show’s “I got off the plane” scene. Meanwhile, one admirer gushed, “Awwwww❤️❤️.”

The attention to her outfit sparked renewed interest in other memorable looks from the series. In September 2024, Aniston cleared up a long-standing fan debate over one of Rachel’s most talked-about fashion moments: the mint green dress from Season 3, Episode 2, “The One Where No One’s Ready.”

After streaming platform Max shared a side-by-side comparison showing the dress in different shades — robin’s egg blue in 4K and pale green in HD — Aniston reposted the image to her Instagram Story, confirming, “FOR THE RECORD, THE DRESS WAS MINT GREEN.”

The enduring interest in the series and its iconic style speaks to the show’s lasting impact, something Aniston herself has reflected on. During a May 2022 appearance on “The Ellen Show,” she opened up to host Ellen DeGeneres about how she coped with the end of the series.

“I got a divorce and went into therapy,” Aniston shared, explaining that she also filmed the 2006 movie, “The Break-Up,” around the same time. “I just kind of leaned into the end,” she added.

During the conversation, DeGeneres remarked that it sounded like Aniston was choosing to close multiple chapters in her life at once. Aniston agreed, saying, “Let’s just end everything and then start new.” The host asked if it had worked out for her, to which Aniston responded, “It worked great.”

Aniston’s decision to embrace change after “Friends” marked not just a personal reset, but the beginning of a broader journey — one that now includes her growing presence in the wellness space.

As reported in January 2025, she is setting new fitness goals and appeared in a Pvolve workout video that drew praise from fans. Many expressed admiration for how she maintains her health and fitness while continuing to lead a successful career.

The video highlights the “Murder Mystery” actress’s controlled movements, such as lunges, arm raises, and resistance stretches, which target strength and flexibility.

Fans quickly flooded the comments section, praising Aniston’s commitment to fitness and her age-defying appearance. “Incredible as always ❤️,” one fan gushed, while another wrote, “Crazyyyy [sic].”

“Now we know how she keeps fit,” a third remarked. “You look great for your age keep up the good work,” added another admirer. One commenter praised her as a “timeless beauty,” while another remarked that she looks great.

Aniston’s latest workout video continues to inspire, proving that dedication to health and fitness knows no age. Her journey with Pvolve began in 2021, during her recovery from a back injury.

Reflecting on that period, Aniston explained, “I don’t feel like myself when I’m not able to work out.” Encouraged by a friend who had experienced remarkable physical and energetic changes through Pvolve, she decided to give the program a try.

Starting with home streaming sessions, Aniston incorporated tools like the P.band, P.ball, and P.3 Trainer, which became her favorites for targeting the core and arms.

Over time, she developed a deep appreciation for Pvolve, valuing its ability to challenge the body while delivering real, noticeable results. “It’s completely different from anything I’d tried before and that’s what made me want to get involved with the company,” Aniston said.

This transformative experience motivated her to get more involved with the program, eventually leading her to in-person training sessions in 2023 with Head Trainer Dani Coleman.

Pvolve’s science-backed approach, supported by a Clinical Advisory Board of health and fitness experts, reshaped how Aniston views exercise. She now actively contributes to the brand, lending her expertise to product development, programming, and marketing to elevate its profile.
Rachel Katzman, Pvolve’s founder, was thrilled to learn that Aniston had been streaming workouts at home. She said Aniston’s fitness level and many options made her love for the program even more meaningful.
