Reese Witherspoon, known for her fabulous style and ambitious roles, became a noughties poster child with her portrayal of Elle Woods in “Legally Blonde.”
However, before the iconic bend and snap, another leading lady captured our hearts with her impeccable style as Rachel Green on “Friends” – Jennifer Aniston. And it turns out, Reese and Jennifer’s connection goes beyond playing sisters on the hit 90s show.
On a recent post on Reese’s Instagram, an unseen photo surfaced that shows just how much the two actresses resemble each other. As part of a “Share your picture with the Rachel haircut” tag, Reese shared a picture of herself as a 21-year-old. With a bare face and an oversized white T-shirt, Reese rocked the iconic Rachel haircut – a long bob with flicky layers and a side part. It’s as if Reese took the concept of “copying your big sister” to a whole new level.
But this isn’t the only time Reese’s style evoked the spirit of the 90s. In 1995, she attended the Waterworld premiere at Mann Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Sporting the color of the decade, deep burgundy, Reese paired it with her dark blonde hair, which was styled with a flick off her face and oversized sunglasses. The result? A relaxed yet red-carpet-worthy look.
Fast forward to 1997, and you’ll find Reese at the Nowhere West Hollywood premiere, looking straight out of the 90s. With frosty blue eyeshadow, layered chokers, and a twisted space bun hairstyle, her look would make even Phoebe Buffay swoon.
Reese’s hair received a major glow-up for the 1998 54 Hollywood premiere. With brighter blonde locks and voluminous waves, her shoulder-length blowdry had everyone envious. And let’s not forget her iconic blue eyeshadow and deep red lip.
In 2000, Reese starred in “Friends” as Jill Green, Rachel’s younger sister. That same year, she attended the 15th Annual IFP/West Independent Spirit Awards, where her attire seemed to pay homage to her character. Sporting a leather trouser, heeled boots, and a rollneck sweater, Reese completed the look with her signature long, straight hair – a style we have come to adore.
Reese and Jennifer Aniston may have played sisters on screen, but their connection extends beyond the world of “Friends.” From their similar hairstyles to their impeccable fashion choices, these two leading ladies have left an indelible mark on pop culture. And with Reese’s recent Instagram post, fans can’t help but appreciate the bond between these iconic actresses.
