The 2024 Golden Globes were last night, and Friends actress Jennifer Aniston debuted a new haircut for the star-studded ceremony. Aniston must have referenced the archives for this look because her light brown locks, once past her shoulders, were trimmed to graze her collarbones. She wore her hair on a deep side part, Rachel Green style. While “The Rachel” was a choppier, feathered look, Aniston modernized her new haircut with less layers, making it a more elegant style to go with her ensemble.

For the award show, Aniston wore a classic, fitted black gown with a beaded scalloped design on the skirt by Dolce and Gabbana. She added some sparkle with diamond drop earrings. Her makeup was kept minimal.

Aniston’s shaggy lob cut was made famous during her time on Friends, with fans fittingly dubbing the iconic look “The Rachel.”

Despite bringing back the hairstyle for last night’s festivities, Aniston revealed to Allure in 2011 that she wasn’t a fan of the haircut and was not too pleased with “The Rachel” trend going around.

“[Hairstylist Chris McMillan was] the bane of my existence because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look,” she said. “How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen.”

In 2013, McMillan and Aniston sat down with Marie Claire to talk hair.

The Rachel was horrible!” Aniston exclaimed.

I know that was Jen’s least favorite haircut because I hear about it every time I style her hair,” McMillan chimed in.
