Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston left fans stunned with her latest photoshoot for Allure magazine wearing a tiny Chanel bikini.
The fifty-three-year-old actress revealed all in her December 2022 cover story this week. But that wasn’t the only photo to grab the reader’s attention. Aniston was snapped in a variety of barely-there outfits, which showed off her toned physique. Scroll down to see for yourself!
Now, we all know that Jennifer Aniston is one of the more beloved celebrities in Hollywood…
We mean, when you know Jennifer Aniston has been cast in a movie or series, it’s going to be a good one, right?
And we all know where that started…
From the NBC show Friends, of course!
Aniston was cast as fashion icon Rachel Greene back in 1994 and it’s safe to say that the rest is history. To this very day, Friends continues to be one of the most successful sitcoms of all time…
And when Ross (David Schwimmer), Rachel (Jennifer), Chandler (Matthew Perry), Monica, (Courteney Cox), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), and Joey (Matt LeBlanc) first burst onto our screens, we immediately fell in love. It was an instant hit…
Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, the comedy follows a group of friends who live in the same New York apartment block as they together navigate through the turbulent years of their late twenties.
With ups and downs like Chandler and Joey’s bromance, not knowing if Ross and Rachel were on a break, Chandler relieving the pain of Monica’s sting on the beach, or their flourishing relationship… We always enjoyed every single part of the character’s journey. And we watched through our tears as the gang said their final goodbyes to the apartment we had all grown to know and love for the past decade.
As sad as it was, it was so beautiful to watch.
Monica and Chandler were starting a family, Phoebe was newly married, Rachel had a new job in Paris… As with a lot of friendships, the gang had grown apart and were embarking upon their separate journeys.
And, after hearing “we were on a break” time and time again…
Fans rejoiced as Ross and Rachel finally put their differences aside and got back together.
And then, just like that, the gang went to grab a cup of coffee for the last time.
And we all shed real tears, knowing after ten years long, we’d never see another new episode again. But, we always have Friends as a comfort series.
Aniston’s character, Rachel Greene, always had the best fashion sense, and even now, Aniston stuns with her beauty and style. Every time we see she’s been cast in a new role…
We cannot help but celebrate, because she’s simply the best, and warms the heart of every viewer around the world.
Her latest photoshoot with Allure proves she’s still got it. But despite seemingly having it all, there’s one thing that’s been plaguing the star.
There’s always something people never fail to bring up.
Even though it really isn’t anybody’s business, there’s always the question as to why Jennifer Aniston hasn’t got any children.
But, over the years, the actress has spoken out on behalf of herself, and all other women in the world without children, explaining why people need to keep their questions to themselves.
Aniston addressed the pressures people put on her to become a mom during an interview with InStyle back in 2018.
Discussing the headlines in tabloid media that she is subjected to, Aniston said: “The misconceptions are ‘Jen can’t keep a man,’ and ‘Jen refuses to have a baby because she’s selfish and committed to her career.’ Or that I’m sad and heartbroken.”
“First, with all due respect, I’m not heartbroken. And second, those are reckless assumptions.”
“No one knows what’s going on behind closed doors,” she said. “No one considers how sensitive that might be for my partner and me. They don’t know what I’ve been through medically or emotionally.”
Aniston then discussed the pressures to become a mom that women face. “There is a pressure on women to be mothers, and if they are not, then they’re deemed damaged goods,” she said. “Maybe my purpose on this planet isn’t to procreate. Maybe I have other things I’m supposed to do.”
Aniston had also previously discussed the pressure to become a mom back in 2016 when she shared an open letter through the Huffington Post.
Titled, For The Record, Aniston began by writing that “for the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up.“
Aniston then discussed the “scrutiny and body shaming” in the media as well as the use of “celebrity ‘news’ to perpetuate this dehumanizing view of females.”
She then moved on to say that it has been highlighted to her “how much we define a woman’s value based on her marital and maternal status.”
“The sheer amount of resources being spent right now by press trying to simply uncover whether or not I am pregnant (for the bajillionth time… but who’s counting) points to the perpetuation of this notion that women are somehow incomplete, unsuccessful, or unhappy if they’re not married with children.”
“In this last boring news cycle about my personal life there have been mass shootings, wildfires, major decisions by the Supreme Court, an upcoming election, and any number of more newsworthy issues that ‘journalists’ could dedicate their resources towards.”
Aniston then wrote that she believes “we are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child.”
“We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies. That decision is ours and ours alone. Let’s make that decision for ourselves and for the young women in this world who look to us as examples.”
“We don’t need to be married or mothers to be complete,” she said. “We get to determine our own ‘happily ever after’ for ourselves.”
Aniston also added that she “may become a mother some day,” but she is “not in pursuit of motherhood because I feel incomplete in some way.”
Aniston recently opened up about her fertility struggles with Allure for her December cover story.
She shared that trying to conceive was a “challenging road,” and that she went through “hard s**t” during that time.
“If it wasn’t for going through that, I would’ve never become who I was meant to be. That’s why I have such gratitude for all those s**tty things,” she said.
Explaining that several years ago she was “trying to get pregnant.”
During “all the years of [media] speculation,” the actress said she was “going through IVF [and] drinking Chinese teas.”
She recalled, “I was throwing everything at it. I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.’ You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.”
However, Aniston insists she has “zero regrets” and “actually feel[s] a little relief.” She explained, “There is no more, ‘Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.’ I don’t have to think about that anymore.”
As well as Aniston being brave enough to tell her story, the actress has also done what most fifty-three-year-olds don’t…
Posed in a micro bikini on Allure’s front cover. And we love her for it! Fans went crazy for her bold look on social media, with one writing: “Good lord! I would do the same thing if I looked like her. She is 53 and looks amazing! Good for her!! You go girl!!”
“The woman looks amazing. She doesn’t just look amazing for her age but all around. If it were me, I would wear it just as proudly. Go on with your bad self, Jennifer. Your hard work is definitely appreciated!” a third penned.
Aniston could be seen wearing the tiny bikini top featuring the Chanel logo, along with a Gucci G-string showing from under her black Saint Laurent skirt.
Aniston shared photos and a video of the shoot to her Instagram, writing: “End of an era. Thank you @allure for making me the cover girl of your very last print issue.”
