Jennifer Aniston [2] continues to provide hair inspiration [3] when we least expect it. On 7 Jan., 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 [4], with the ends sweeping the tops of her clavicle. Choppy layers [5] combined with her light brunette hair colour [6] had people immediately likening the new look to her famous hairstyle from the hit TV show "Friends."

The '90s have influenced current trends in a myriad of ways, but nowhere has it been more apparent than with hair. From the return of accessories like headbands [7] to pixie cuts [8], the trendiest styles of today could fit into a school yearbook from the early Noughties and you would be none-the-wiser.

Aniston, who has leaned into her status as a hair icon by launching her brand LolaVie [9], 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.
