The star of ‘The Morning Show’ took home the Drama TV Star of the Year award at the event.
During the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, Jennifer Aniston made a stunning appearance on stage in a classic strapless black dress that wowed the audience. Despite not walking the red carpet, the 55-year-old actress presented Adam Sandler with the People’s Icon Award in style. This moment was particularly special as it marked four years since Aniston herself was honored with the same award in 2019. Later in the evening, Aniston also won the drama TV star of the year award for her role on The Morning Show.
Aniston’s outfit was a perfect blend of simplicity and elegance, featuring an asymmetrical hemline and side pleats that added a touch of sophistication. She completed the look with a delicate necklace and ankle-strap heels, staying true to her signature style.
Aniston showed off a stylish lob haircut that went just below her shoulders, shorter than the 90s-style hair she had at the Golden Globes earlier this year. Following the attention her Globes hairstyle got, Aniston’s close friend and hairstylist, Chris McMillan, revealed on Instagram that he wanted to achieve a “sexy, natural, and easy” look with hidden layers for her new haircut.
