Jennifer Aniston’s Hairstylist Breaks Silence on Her ‘Sexy,’ Internet-Breaking Golden Globes Haircut

Jennifer Aniston knows how to make an internet red carpet entrance.

The Morning show star, 54, wowed fans again when she arrived at the Golden Globes on Sunday with a new hairstyle courtesy of her favorite stylist and close friend, Chris McMillan.

The Friends alum debuted her new short style at the star-studded event — and immediately gave us déjà vu to “The Rachel” piece, which was famously created by McMillan in the ’90s sitcom.

Fun fact: Aniston wasn’t a fan of the look at the time, and McMillan said Marie Clare years that he knows very well that it was “Jen’s least favorite hairstyle” because “I hear about it every time I style her hair.”

On Tuesday, McMillan finally shared the inspiration behind the transformation just days after its unveiling.

While he wouldn’t confirm if it was a direct take from Aniston’s Rachel Greene days, the Beverly Hills pro wrote that he was going for “sexy, natural and effortless” with her blunt cut that hits the collarbone with “invisible layers” throughout.

He prepped the celebrity mane with shampoo and conditioner from Aniston’s hair care brand, Lolavie, and finished with a mixture of the star’s hair paste and oil, “manipulating” the ends of her locks for his desired vision.
