3 Of Jennifer Aniston's Spiciest Outfits

Since her days at Central Perk, Jennifer Aniston has been shaping the way American women dress. Rachel Green made the case for casual sexiness in an era of ultra-feminine minimalism with slinky slip dresses, plaid miniskirts, and, of course, Chris McMillan's Rachel haircut (just one of many ways Aniston has influenced the beauty world). These days, as Alex Levy on "The Morning Show," Aniston channels the grown-up evolution of that wardrobe identity: soft power dressing steeped in the stealth-wealth media codes of Manhattan media royalty. The quiet luxury and old money aesthetics may have us chasing an unattainable ideal, but on Aniston, there's no denying how seductive the results are.

Off-screen, the actor's outfits are just as refined. Her wardrobe is defined by clean lines and a muted palette, along with several vintage staples. The engineers behind her signature easy sophistication are sisters Nina and Clare Hallworth, the elusive styling duo who have cleverly elevated Aniston into the patron saint of minimalism with flair. They understand that power can look like a black camisole and perfect trousers, but every now and then, they'll slip in a spicy ensemble just to remind us that Jen never needs to play it safe.

Jennifer Aniston showed skin at the 2009 Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards

At the 2009 Women in Film Crystal & Lucy Awards, Jennifer Aniston gave us one of her most unforgettable red carpet moments to date. The event honored outstanding women for their contributions to Hollywood and the entertainment industry, and the ceremony reserved its highest spotlight for Jennifer Aniston, the night's special guest. Of course, she dressed for the occasion, turning up in a sultry, statuesque look.

She wore a strapless silver mini dress which boasted a bustier bodice, and was broken up by a light ruching at the waist. The hem skimmed mid-thigh, making her choice of stripped back, strappy stilettos all the more effective in elongating the look. Accessories were non-existent, keeping the focus on the dress' own revealing nature.

This marked a rare red carpet moment for Aniston. She stepped outside of her usual closet of restraint, opting instead for something that seemed purposefully daring.

She chose red for the red carpet in 2000

The devil might wear Prada, but so does Jennifer Aniston – and she wears it well. There was nothing shy about this look for Warner Bros' Emmys party in 2000, hosted at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. She opted for a strapless, floor-length column gown in one bold block of saucy, saturated, siren red. The choice of red was an unblinking one, since it is a color that has long been associated with desire and danger.

By design, the sleeveless cut daringly drew attention to her décolletage, while the rest hugged her enviable frame. On paper, its long length might have distilled the look's spiciness. But in practice, its impact lay in this very restraint. After all, sex appeal often lives not in whst is shown, but in what is deliberately left to the imagination.

Spiciness and hemlines were running high at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscars Party

Jennifer Aniston's ensemble for the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscars Party gave a phenomenal variation on the celebrity LBD. Here, we saw a smoldering, precise gown that turned heads and dominated best-dressed red carpet roundups.

The custom black Atelier Versace gown had been constructed from a sheer, jet-black fabric and densely embroidered with glistening beadwork — perfect to catch the light of the camera flashes. A vertiginous low cut dissected the center bodice, revealing just enough to raise eyebrows. Meanwhile, a sharp and spicy thigh-high split seam sliced up one leg for an added provocative edge.

Her hair was kept sleek and sexy — worn long, straight, and parted down the middle in true Aniston fashion. Once again, skipped the spectacle of heavy accessories, trusting that the dress — all plunge, slit, and shimmer — could carry the moment unaided. She did, however, carry a small, black clutch, tucked neatly in one hand. We can only imagine what was inside, but it's safe to assume: not a single fashion emergency.
