Today is Jennifer Aniston’s birthday! The beloved actress rose to prominence for playing the role of Rachel Green in the hit ’90s sitcom Friends. Every time the topic of ’90s style is brought up, Rachel Green is one of the first names that come to mind. Green’s wardrobe was every girl’s dream back in the ’90s. A pleated tartan mini-skirt, a bodycon gingham check dress, baggy blue jeans, a baseball cap, plaid pants, and a dungaree are just a few closet essentials we would like to steal from Rachel.
However, Rachel Green wasn’t the only fashion icon back then. Jennifer Aniston, who played the character, also had a strong fashion game back in the ’90s. It would be a crime to talk about fashion back then and not mention the actress. ’90s trends are coming back strong, and whatever trend you’re thinking of, chances are Aniston has worn the trend first and better. So, in honor of her 52nd birthday today, let’s take a look back at some of the most iconic fashion moments and trends throughout Aniston’s career.

Making LBDs cool before they were even a thing. Although this look screams 90’s, a slinky, strappy black LBD and barely-there sandals are still relevant today. The look is super minimalistic and can be a perfect desk to dinner outfit. This is hardly the first or last time Aniston has worn the LBD, which has since become one of the actress’ signature looks.
