Jennifer Aniston continues to provide hair inspiration when we least expect it. On Jan. 7, the actor attended the 2024 Golden Globes in Beverly Hills wearing a gorgeous strapless gown and a re-creation of the iconic “Rachel” haircut with which she’s become synonymous.

As she posed on the red carpet, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Aniston’s typically shoulder-blade-length hair just barely qualified as a lob, with the ends sweeping the tops of her clavicle. Choppy layers combined with her light brunette hair color had people immediately likening the new look to her famous hairstyle from the hit TV show “Friends.”

The ’90s have influenced current trends in myriad ways, but nowhere has it been more apparent than with hair. From the return of accessories like headbands to pixie cuts, the trendiest styles of today could fit into a high school yearbook from the early aughts and you would be none-the-wiser.

Aniston, who has leaned into her status as a hair icon by launching her brand LolaVie, has revisited the “Rachel” haircut a few times post-“Friends,” but this 2024 version feels almost identical to the original. If you ask us, it belongs in the beauty hall of fame. Take a closer look at Aniston’s new hair below.
