Call me crazy, but I’m not loving this ensemble on Jennifer Aniston. These are photos from last night’s LA premiere of Lifetime’s Call Me Crazy: A Five Film, and this time around the five stories are woven around a theme of mental illness and mental health. Jennifer is the executive producer on the film, just as she was in 2011 for that year’s “five” film (I think she directed a segment that year too).
Jennifer’s shorts ensemble is Christian Dior. It doesn’t work, does it? The shorts look like they’re bunching up and the cut of the strapless tuxedo bustier thing makes Jennifer’s shoulders look wider than they actually are, and the whole thing is total mess in the midsection. Jennifer is a petite woman with a great figure, and this Dior thing adds weight to her frame and it’s really unflattering. Jennifer loves her little black dresses, so I guess her idea of trying something new was to go for little black shorts. I hate to criticize her for stepping out of her comfort zone and trying something sort-of new, but this is just a bad look.
But it’s not all bad news… she pulled her hair back! It just occurred to me that Duchess Kate and Jennifer Aniston are strikingly similar on that particular issue (and some others too, maybe). Kate and Jennifer both seem to hate to pull their hair back. They imagine themselves to be Hair Icons. While Jennifer is still flat-ironing (so Goopy), I like that she mixed it up a bit with this messy ponytail.
PS… Justin Theroux wasn’t there…? There are no photos of him, but maybe he snuck in through the back or something.

Her earrings are gorgeous!
Love them, too. And her hair is really pretty.
Those earrings are georgeous.
Maybe she doesn’t want to put her hair up because she thinks she looks bad, not because she thinks she’s a hair icon. I’m like that 😀
Those earrings ARE gorgeous. But, you can spot her hair weave in that closeup of the earring shot if you zoom.
😮
This outfit is so many different kinds of fug.
Come on she is hiding baby bump;-)
That’s exactly what I thought… she looks preggers! And she’s doing something else Duchess Kate does and that’s focusing on her legs while her midsection expands…
When bad clothes happen to good people comes to mind. However, I like the shoes and the updo is nice.
Sorry the outfit is just awful. Once again she is in black does she not know there are other colours out there? The shorts are just so badly cut and that top is just stupid. I can’t believe she looked in the mirror and thought gee I look good. I don’t think she wears her up as much because people make fun of her chin but it looks better at least it’s different. One step at a time next time it might be hair up and wearing something other then black.
The older she gets the harder it is for her to hide the ‘stumpy.’
Not one person has said it, but I think this outfit is WAY too young for her. Did she ever dress like this in her 20’s and 30’s?
There is nothing stumpy about her. She has a nice shape and nice legs.
If this is your idea of being stumpy, I want to be as stumpy as Jennifer aniston.
Yep…if this is what stumpy looks like — where do I sign up to be stumpy.
“stumpy”? really?
I know you don’t like her (and you’re entitled, no judgement here!), but let’s be fair here. she’s FAR from stumpy. this lady has one of the most fit bodies in hollywood…even a SI swimsuit model described how she felt inadequate compared to Aniston.
this isn’t a flattering outfit, to be sure, but stumpy she’s not.
She doesn’t dress correctly for her height and body-type (short waist). I think she dresses like the Olsen sisters, who insist on wearing the exact clothes 5’10” runway models wear on their 5’1″ frames. It just doesn’t work on Jennifer (at 5’4″) and it makes her look ‘thick’ through the middle when she attempts it.
Also, I keep telling you guys that I don’t ‘hate’ Jennifer Aniston. I just think she’s manipulated a situation for the past 8 years for her own gain. I am the first person to wish her and Justin well, and I really do hope they marry soon.
Jen never looks right on the red carpet. She always cheapens the outfit. It’s either the hair, make-up, shoes, or jewelry that’s so off. This outfit is so wrong on her. The top doesn’t match the bottom. She should have worn it with a white top or black short sleeve shirt (tucked in the shorts) and the shorts about 1″ or 2″ longer. Why do I believe GOOP at 40 would have made it look like a Dior?
The outfit is “meh”, at best. Definitely not the greatest, but she’s soooo not stumpy. Her legs and arms look amazing. And she’s not short-waisted either. She’s extremely proportionate, as most everyone would like to be. I’m not a fan of her constant tan, though. She looked great about a year ago when she stopped tanning for a while. It made her skin look better/younger.
@Heathers, who wrote: “Definitely not the greatest, but she’s soooo not stumpy. Her legs and arms look amazing. And she’s not short-waisted either. She’s extremely proportionate, as most everyone would like to be.”
Oh please. The only semblance of proportion she has is due to those 5″ heels that give her the illusion of height. But even when she wears heels, there seems to be little to no space between her breasts and her hips.
A better question would be … why isn’t Justin with her?
She and Kim K are always wearing outfits that are made for Models. They are not tall or petite women. You can pull this off if you’re Rachel Bilson (5’0) and petite, Selena Gomez (Young and thin), GOOP ( 5’9 or taller), or a runway model. Her outfit looks Forever 21 or Strawberry’s.
Agreed, I said as much below. The outfit really does draw attention to her stocky stumpy legs no matter how hard the fans want to ignore the reality.
Emma, I’m going to have to take you at your word that you “don’t hate her”, but as I was reading through all the posts, that doesn’t really jibe with what I saw. I don’t see one positive word from you about her, except you “wishing her well”. outside of that, the only ones I came across are just negativity and agreement with other negative posts.
it’s OK to not like her, plenty don’t. but I feel you’re being a bit disingenuous about your opinion of her.
I don’t hate the shorts, or at least the idea of this outfit, but that top is just NO!
It looks like she has a lot of weave in her hair. Her ponytail looks like an actual pony tail.
Yeah, she definitely has extensions. You can tell by the side profile. They must be super recently done because it looks like they’re not laying down properly…
I agree. I think it could have been really cute if the top was a different fabric/color and maybe not cut so weird. It looks dirty and frumpy.
Love the hair, though.
THIS !
Major improvment for the hairstyle. The shoes are great. The short is ok but the top is HELL TO THE NO !
It’s obvious that Jennifer is wearing extensions. Her hair is shoulder or just past shoulder length, not half-way down her back. Also her hair looks a little weird. But I’m amused that people think the pony-tail is so amazing. it’s pony-tail. It’s very simple and a look done a million times before. The shirt makes her look really hippy. Which of course means pregnancy stories.
Very unflattering. A big NO.
Plus, it’s DIRTY!! Why would she wear something obviously dirty on the red carpet? How tacky can you get?!
I don’t like a single thing about this outfit, not even the purse. It looks like an arts and crafts project gone wrong…”deconstruct a tuxedo” or something. Blech.
Well put,MTL! Don’t we think it is time for Jennifer to finally grow up.
Impossible. She’ll never grow up. From the way she dresses she obviously wishes “Forever 21” was a reality in her case. She’ll be wearing the same ridiculous outfits and trying to look like an ingenue when she’s 65.
She deserves claps for changing her hair. But just that lol.
I like it its different and doesn’t look bad at all.
She pulls it off almost, expect for the shoes.. A different style shoe wuld hv been better.
Love the hair and the top is not bad and if it were pants instead of shorts I may have liked the the clothes better. Oh and the shoes are cute and Jen has great legs.
should’ve went with a loose, white blouse tucked in. like the hair style. she’s slimmed down as well– her arms are back to yoga form.
I like your idea of a loose, white blouse tucked in…like a poet’s shirt. That really would look better.
I like the outfit just not on her.
The outfit is a little weird in the middle but i think her face looks really great here!
The outfit is a mess but otherwise she looks really great!
Her knees are holding up.
Love the hair and makeup. Like the outfit in theory but not in execution.
Still trying to convince us that she’s still got it. This is a total ‘mutton dressed as lamb’ scenario.
LOL!! Agreed. 🙂
That top doesn’t work because it was designed for someone taller, or with a longer waist.
Ditto all the comments about the bad outfit. Also, it has spots on it. So it looks dirty.
mte. I thought I was the only one who saw the spots on outfit.
I know she is tiny, so how this thing makes her look think is amazing. And yes, it totally looks dirty. What up, Aniston?
It looks like she has a lot of body makeup on her shoulders, rubbed off on her clothes.
The top looks like it might be suede?
I think it might be silk that was incorrectly touched up with an iron. You need to iron silk under a towel or high points/folds get an odd sheen.
Also, some of her body makeup- to cover sun blister damage on her upper back from her trip to Mexico- has rubbed off on her top. To me, she has beautiful skin; I will never get how she is so blasé and reckless with it.
@Apples, she has cupping marks on her back, not giant blisters.
She did that cupping thing so she wore lots of body makeup to try conceal cupping marks
ditto on dirty.
that’s just plain sloven. smh. 🙁
You can’t tell that it’s Dior on Jen. It may as well be Forever 21. She doesn’t do anything to make it fashionable, she just plays it safe and looks the same as always. Pretty, but too safe and boring.
I agree, she makes everything look budget. The polar opposite of the likes of Weitz, Blanchett and Jolie – truly classy Hollywood A-listers that can make anything look expenive.
I agree with this comment so much! So true.
I don’t care for this outfit on her. However, everything else about her is on point. Love her hair like this & her skin looks wonderful. She looks fresh & healthy. Wish I had her legs.
It’s a BIG NO.
Bad fabric, it doesn’t look like Dior, more like an H&M ensemble, gone wrong. NO.
I’m not a fan of formal shorts but this looks cute. Not spectacular but still OK. Her hair and makeup look great, too.
I think it’s cute too- love the hair & makeup.
The double-breasted style buttons and the transected lapel are just a big no. This doesn’t look like a 2013 design. How did Raf Simons let this one get past the team meeting? Maybe Galliano snuck back into the atelier and played a joke.
Justin took a look this outfit and ran out to buy more beer at Rite Aid.
how did I miss this yesterday?
good one! gave me a chuckle, for sure.
I’m too busy trying to figure out what’s going on with her body makeup to worry about the formal shorts. You can actually see splotches on her back. Poorly blended body makeup? Self-tanner? Calamine lotion? This is really bothering me :).
I was shocked that it wasn’t mentioned here. She has weird makeup all over her back in other pics I have seen.
she does “cupping”. the makeup is to cover the marks, which are pretty pronounced if it has been done recently.
Well, whatever it’s trying to cover, it’s still a bad makeup job!
Looks like the weave/extensions are back.
SHE looks great. The outfit, not so much.
I’m against the whole shorts-as-dress-wear thing. Shorts are, IMO, a casual item. And while this isn’t a “premiere” in the usual sense, it’s still a “red carpet” event. I agree that pants and a less busy top version of this outfit would have looked better.
1 – the top is dirty
2 – the top is ugly
3 – the shorts are not flattering (and she has amazing legs) – although it could be because of where the top sits on the shorts
4 – I think she is getting a little too old to be wearing outfits like this
Overall the outfit does not flatter, but her hair and make up looks great
She has big old man looking ears. Now I know why she likes to wear her hair down. As for the outfit, yes it’s ugly.
Sometimes shorts work on the red carpet, but the top here ruined any chance of that. She looks good otherwise though.
The short films sound interesting.
I agree. The short films do sound interesting. I will be watching.
that outfit is a hot mess. why spend money on a designer if it’s going to look like that? (then again, she prob got it for free.)
Jen what the hell is wrong with you? how could you wear this?! Usually her judgement is spot icon with fashion albeit its always black but when you can wear it like her.
I’m simply convinced that justin dressed her. The is not her decision by herself I refuse to believe it.
Awful outfit. For someone who work so hard to convince the world that she has the sexiest body in the world, she seems to wear outfits that says the contrary. And it always seem to go wrong in the waist area, but with this outfit, it looks like she has a major potbelly going on. And no, it’s doubtful that she’s hiding a baby bump.
At least she has a legitimate reason to make the media rounds. When I heard that she was going to be on GMA this week, I rolled my eyes thinking that she’s doing another lap of her ‘Yippee… some douche has consented to marry me’ tour 2013.
Let’s see what her #1 Stan, Spinner has to say about this short set.I like the earrings
Hair could be smoother on top
I saw some photos on another site and she had tons of makeup on her back to disguise some cupping therapy or whatever it’s called, hence the spots on her clothes. The flashes made the make up very visible, total fail. Now, all this would have been easily avoided if she werent wearing a strapless outfit !
Slovenly, ill-designed, unflattering outfit. Nice shoes.
Oh, she’s wearing black for a change.
She, like Britney Spears although in an entirely different way, under-utlizes her fashion dollars. With the money and resources she has, this is what she comes up with?
It is nice to see her hair different.
Why am I liking this?
no photos of the backside?
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/04/17/article-2310295-195649F1000005DC-265_634x685.jpg
Oh WOW!! Those are definitely cupping marks. They really show up under that lighting.
You have to be really careful with ‘alternative’ medicine or treatments. I went with friends to visit China and my friend went to a cupping parlor to try it. She ended up with very bad burns on her back and had to go to the hospital. Some people swear by it, which I’m skeptical of, but it can also be dangerous.
Dang, Jen. You know you have that crap on your back, but you didn’t have anything else to wear. Really?!
I agree, a plain white shirt would have been better.
Better question why do cupping days before RC
Could this be the consequence of the press treating her with kid gloves? I don’t go around the web that extensively, but to see Lainey not going in on this faux pax, but instead referencing this as a possible Paltrow influence, makes me think that the kid gloves are firmly on. And frankly, that’s not a good thing. It’s one thing to press ahead with a choice, get slammed for it, but keep it moving; it quite another to make a bad choice, have the press tiptoe around it, but continue to expect and get positive press when it’s clearly smoke being blown up the @$$.
And shouldn’t this public appearance, with cupping marks and all, run afoul with Aveeno? Because, after all, the beautiful Jennifer Aniston shouldn’t walk around with anything short of Aveeno-treated skin.
Even better question – why do cupping at all? What’s next? Leeches?
Hi Mich…cupping is an ancient form of Chinese acupuncture. It helps the healing process & alleviates pain. Maybe she over-extended a muscle? I would have simply worn another outfit. Remember a few years back when Gwyneth Paltrow showed up at a RC event & had cup marks all over her back?
Spinner- have you ever tried cupping? And does it work to relieve chronic pain? I’ve tried acupuncture but did not get good results.
Hi Annie2…I have never tried cupping, but I have a friend who swears by it. She has chronic back pain & says it really helps. My friend also said that it works well to alleviate…wait for it…CELLULITE.
Holy wow. Yeah, she definitely should have worn something else. Whoever had the idea of the plain white t-shirt, that would have been HOT!!! I like the idea of those cute shorts paired with a worn out vintage white T-shirt. Maybe a V neck? And heels. Much more my style. I’m going to try to make that look work for myself. As for Aniston, I hate the outfit and wish she’d wear more color, but her legs and shoes look divine.
boring and orangey!
Why is her hair all stringy and messy-looking on the top and the sides? Did she try to do it herself?
She doesn’t look groomed.
This is why she should not where her hair back. It showcases her very odd face shape and jaw line. Plus those ears!
Straight on her face is plain and unattractive.
Yep!
Agree.
The outfit is cute imo, but she needs to fire the makeup artist who tried to cover the cupping marks on her back, because it’s a total fail and she has huge white blotches on her back.
Or worn a different outfit.
That would have worked too, lol. But still, the MUA used either A) too light a color or B) something with too much shimmer/highlighter because it’s flashing back white.
I think she looks amazing. Love the outfit, hair, earrings.
Yep- me too. I think she generally looks good most of the time. Great body- I’m a little jealous 🙂
Unflattering with a capital UGH!
Call me crazy for wearing this.
I wish this has been would marry & go away! She doesn’t have to marry ( which we all know will never happen until Brad goes first)…. Just go away!!!!!
Agreed.
I like the outfit in theory, but each piece seems too small or ill-fitting. Better fitting shorts with a real jacket would have been much nicer – this looks a little Forever 21, a teenager’s idea of a classy outfit.
And her poor hair looks awful – she needs a color and cut that makes it look more healthy. Nice to see it up, but that dead-looking strand that is loose looks pretty awful.
What the… it’s dirty!!!!
And it makes her look wide. And she’s so so orange.
Can her fans please name 5 interesting, unique things she does?
That sets her apart from all the other 40 something actresses who dress and act like they are 20? There is nothing special about her.
She is 44 and best known for her hair and a decade old divorce.
She is looking more and more like a real housewife of whatever place!
Usually hate the formal shorts thing, but I kind of like this. I do wonder if it’s the wrong season for it.
She has fabulous gams, but the outfit is not attractive.
Wow, the hair is an epic fail. The dark brown with blonde highlights looks cheap. The extensions are tacky and too thick. She has no forehead. If you’re going to pull back your hair, don’t leave it hanging in your face like a security blanket.
Too thick at the top or needs to be smoothed down.
It’s hanging down to soften her jawline.
Big NO! Yikes. Hair looks good though.
Spinner… reverse irony, much. Lol!
LOL !! No kidding!! We know what is happening here — it’s pretty obvious. I will just ignore.
I know!!!
I have discovered that I have been a fan of such a dull person! Maniston, sorry Aniston, can’t even speak properly in interviews, can’t present an award to save her life. Shows up drunk to awards shows.
I can’t beleive I ever was a fan of this has been.
aw, don’t be sad, (real)spinner, you have a “stan”!
some people are REALLY juvenile.
ETA: WOW…just scrolled lower and someone’s been busy here…looks like it’s recess time or something.
Hi doofus…thank you. My very own STAN. Oh Boy!! It really is very transparent & juvenile. Recess time, indeed.
in my country they say that imitation is the highest form of flattery 🙂
Spinner…the reverse irony is a bit much, non? Lol! Oops… double post …sorry. i actually think Jen looks her normal self here. Nothing extraordinary. Which can be a good thing.
Fab! She can pull this off!
Uhhhhh….No she can’t.
She looks terrible, sloppy and thick.
You’re right. The top is hideous!
Oh Lifetime…..exactly where she belongs.
lol
if i scroll down quickly, i’d never believe it’s JA. the style is very reminiscent of Blake Lively or Stacy Kiebler.
she never wears her hair up, I think she did only to get people to see her “cupping marks” on her back and to be relevant.
I think she wore her hair up because she obsessively reads every tabloid/Blog thing about herself and read the ‘she never changes her hair!’ rants.
Not liking any of that look, especially for red carpet. That hair w/ the pieces in the face to me just looks half done or heading out to run errands or to the beach.
The outfit is just…ugh. Ahh yeah, no one should wear that.
Look up manly and dull in the dictionary and there you will find Aniston.
Waiting for people to tell me something interesting about her……
Read the article.
She looks terrible – the daily mail has some pics that look horrid. What the heck is cupping? And I like the idea of the outfit but on her it looks super budget and “housewifey of ___.” Yikes.
I seem to be all alone
But I think she looks great. I actually like the outfit and think it makes her look cute. Cute outfit, cute hair.
It’s a fun look
You’re not alone, Audrey. I think she looks great too. I just would have chosen another outfit.
I think she looks great too, love the whole look. I hope I look half as good when I’m her age!
The outfit would look ‘cute’ on Emma Watson or Kristen Stewart.
I agree! She looks younger with her hair pulled back!
The outfit is awful but I loved the make-up. Her face looks really pretty.
Pretty and Aniston do not go together.
She looks like Fabio’s twin sister.
Well, there’s my opinion and there’s yours, and that’s that 🙂
Diana, you’ve encountered the REAL spinner’s “stan”…stalker, etc…
juvenile and creepy, no?
Quite curious I find her.
Not age appropriate in my book. If Blake Lively or K-Stew had worn this, it would be great but not a woman in her mid-forties.
Her whole face shape is like a troll.
The jawline and those ears…..no wonder she normally wears her hair like curtains to hide her terrible face,.
Yep. A stunningly beautiful/sexy woman she is not.
As a side note, it’s nice to see the ‘sane’ version of spinner here 😉 lol.
I saw a close up picture of her, and it is terrifying. The quality of her skin, I mean. I moved by the beach about a year ago, and I still haven’t completely developed goods habits of covering up. That close up of Aniston is my motivational picture to use sunscreen all the time.
Use alot of sunscreen!
http://hitech.media.focus.it/thumbs/original/65/82/01/jennifer-aniston-no-photoshop-18265_460_999_0.jpg
horrible from head to toe
it’s hard for that bod to look bad in anything, so she looks ok, like not fat or frumpy, but that outfit is fugly.
OMG, she’s gone back to the 60s…seriously, HOT PANTS and a strapless peplum top?
Her hair looks nice. Had to cough out that compliment.
I wouldn’t call her petite (she is the same height I am) but she does have a great figure. I’m not a fan of hers but I will give her credit for working hard to maintain her figure. If she let herself go I think she could become quite heavy. Being an actress I’m sure there must be major pressure to maintain her figure. I don’t like this outfit but at least she’s stepping outside her comfort zone of the little black dress but its still black.
I still want to know why she had the cover of People mag for Oscars. So her nonexistent “soon to be” wedding that hasn’t happened. She is such a famewhore. She does have great legs, but Jen Aniston has always looked too masculine.She has strong features,not meant for a woman. She is just blah.
It’s not flattering but it also looks cheap. Nina Garcia would be appalled.
I usually love Jennifer Aniston’s easy, effortless style, but I do not like this outfit. It does nothing for her figure. In fact, I can’t imagine that outfit looking flattering on anyone. The top looks like a Simplicity pattern gone wrong and the shorts are all bunged up in her crotch. Oh, and it doesn’t help that Jennifer paired this outfit with orange skin.
Okay, what the hell is she wearing?? Formal evening beach wear?? Whatever it is, it’s not attractive, nor is it particularly age appropriate. But that’s our typical try-too-hardy (but look like she didn’t try at all) Jenny.
Her hair is cute, but the outfit is a big yawn. Its something I’ve seen at happy hour a million times. But its very Jennifer. She never mixes it up so its par for the course.
Yay, a different hair style! I like it. But I dislike EVERYTHING else.
A thumbs up for finally changing up the hair.
That may sound like damning with faint praise, but there it is.
She has the worst hair. So damaged & frizzy. She needs a new hairstyle.
I actually don’t mind the outfit. It does look a bit spotty, probably because of the make-up dropping off, and it likely looks less attractive to some in stills. I hate her hair. Apart from it looking so fake, she appears to try to be looking like so many of the 17-year-olds I see around town. She obviously looks good for her age, but there’s no escaping the fact that she is now in the “mature” range. Leave these bogan hairstyles to the teenagers still trying to grow into themselves.
Browser fail. Double comment.
Weird Photoshop artifact on her shoulder/back/neck in the first pic after the text… or is that body makeup? Either way, can we just all say no to formal shorts?
I’m going to go against the grain here and admit that I love her outfit, her accessories, her hair and makeup. Love the shoes – there are so many ridiculous platforms out there (side eye to Kim K.) that it’s nice to see a classic shoe. Jen A. is a classy women.
Sorry, but there is NOTHING classy about this woman.
I actually love the bust but the shorts… Eeek.
ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly outfit. Hair and earrings are cute.
Um, ok. Very, very unflattering. She has short stocky legs and the outfit really draws attention to them. The outfit looks as if it was worn previously and not washed as it appears dirty. And why couldn’t she brush her hair before she put her hair up?
Aniston is hitting 50 getting the middle age menopausal belly,not pregnancy as some of her fans think. Don’t care who you are and what figure you had in 20’s and 30’s it comes along with age. Her fans think that Jennifer Aniston is still 20,she is an actress that needs and understands her fan base and is giving them the JA they forever envision, a vision of an old Jennifer lawrence or Olson twin.
