Jennifer Aniston in Christian Dior at UK ‘Millers’ premiere: stunning or unflattering?

Here are some photos of Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis at the UK premiere of We’re the Millers last night in London. Jennifer looks different to me. Like… she de-bloated. I don’t mean that in a harsh way at all, and “bloated Aniston” is still very, very slender with a great body. But she just looks sleeker here, right?

It also helps that Jennifer got out of her comfort zone with her styling. Instead of a little black dress or something that makes her look like a 90s bridesmaid, Jennifer wore a PATTERN. This dress is the blue version of a Christian Dior Resort 2013 which was shown on the runway in a soft orange – you can see the original here. I like the pattern of the runway look more than this. The blue feels like… wallpaper, or a fussy comforter. The silhouette is different for Jennifer too. I don’t have any strong feelings about it, other than I’m glad to see her change something. I think she was aiming for “sexy bedhead” with her hair, but she looks like she just came out of a wind tunnel.

On the red carpet, Jennifer spoke to Metro UK about how much fun she had playing a stripper. She said: “Do you love me being dirty? I appreciate that! I had fun… It’s nice to be bad once in a while. Working with this cast and the luck we had – they’re people I respect and love. It’s a funny movie.” Blah.

    See? We can all feel better- even pretty girls have bad days. Really bad days.

    • Lauren says:

      I like the dress on her. Jen is wearing a pattern! Nice hem too. Kind of looks like a four year old girls Sunday school dress, but Jen looks confident and happy. Jason looks very handsome.

      • Marjalane says:

        It’d be great if she WAS a 4 year old on her way to church instead of a 44 year old that needs to find her hair brush!

      • Andrew says:

        I also like the dress. I also see nothing wrong with her quote, I mean it’s her job to promote the movie. Also, I thought it was hilarious…not as good as the heat, but it was worth going so you can laugh.

      • Florc says:

        Agree. The dress is just too young for her. I love Jen in a pattern. Her Star walk dress was so pretty on her. This is just too short and too young.
        She looks great though and of course the bloat went away. She’s tony and any weight gain shows instantly. Mae she took a day off her yoga routine and had an extra vodka tonic.

    • V4Real says:

      @Marjalane
      I don’t find Jen pretty, so I’m good.

      • Bubbles says:

        I was watching old Friends episodes the other day and she was stunning back then. Who would have thought that Lisa would age the best.

  2. RocketMerry says:

    I really like the hair! And I applaud her effort with the dress; the shape of it is wrong, and the “double skirt” effect is not quite as pretty as the stylist probably thought, but I applaud the effort.

    Side note, her and Sudeikis would make a much better couple than Sudeikis-Wilde and Aniston-Theroux.
    Actually… if they really swapped partners, that’d be a much better pairing for everyone, I think.

    • The Wizz says:

      Agree on the partner swap. So much better match

    • lenje says:

      Lol, I kinda agree.

    • kibbles says:

      I agree. I LOVE this hairstyle on her. I hate the straight locks. It makes her look older, plain, and more boring than she already is. This dress and hairdo makes her look younger and more vibrant. She looks really happy too. I would love to see her rock this style more often.

      • Cameron says:

        I hate the hair, it doesn’t go with the dress thats much too young for her. As someone said down post .. it belongs on Halie Steinfeld. I could even see Taylor Swift wearing it.
        I think I’ve only seen her one time look really put together on the red carpet.. That was the dress that everyone accused her of copying Angelina jolie’s 2009 Cannes gown. The hair, make- up or shoes are always off.

    • Rachel says:

      I, too, applaud the effort. But the pattern is too much for a woman of her maturity. It belongs on someone like Hailey Steinfeld.

      Rather than a “well played”, I give her a “A for effort”.

    • Sumodo1 says:

      She’s mutton dressed as lamb and needs a hairbrush. Ergggh.

      • Sullivan says:

        Yes. The older she gets, the younger she dresses. Her closet is the Benjamin Button of wardrobes.

  3. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    It’s a change from what she usually wears, but that hair has got to go. I don’t know who she’s paying to style that mess, but she needs to fire them. This premiere, and the last one (where she wore that purple bridesmaid dress) has had her looking like she woke up five minutes before the premiere i.e. she put her dress on, slapped some make up on, and combed out her hair in thirty seconds, on the way to the premiere.

    It’s awful. Plus it looks kind of stiff, like they put her hair just like that, and then covered it in hairspray so it would stay like that. Whatever they’re doing, it ain’t working. She needs to cut her hair into a bob.

  4. Anna says:

    I applaud that this is something completely unusual for her stylistically. And incidentally I love the dress AND the shoes.

  5. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Fail.

  6. Jacqueline says:

    Her hair looks better from a distance, it needs volume or she’d get lost on that expansive carpet. Like her shoes, I guess.

  7. chloe says:

    The dress has kind of grown of me, but the original is a lot better, though I don’t think Jen could do orange, I think it flatters her figure, the hair is a mess, she should have gone with big curls or it pulled back.

  8. Jacqueline says:

    The orange dress is much prettier and would have looked beautiful against that turquoise.

    • emmie_a says:

      The runway original is gorgeous. This blue print is too cutesy for me — It looks like something a doll would wear.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        It looks like something an 18-year-old girl would wear out on a hot date.

        The older Jen gets, the younger she dresses. Hasn’t the woman ever seen a photo of Cate Blanchett, someone in her age group?

        Cate shows us over and over how easy it is to dress your age and still look classy and sexy.

      • Janet says:

        @Emma: She will never in a million years have Cate Blanchett’s class.

  9. Tessa says:

    It’s way different than something she’d usually wear, so just for that fact alone I kind of like it. She looks fresh.

  10. lenje says:

    meh about the hair, but i don’t think it’s awful.

    i like the gown, but unsure if it’s the right one for this occasion. isn’t it sorta beach/resort dress?

    she seems like color coordinate with sudeikis, i wonder if they use the same stylist(s).

  11. lucy2 says:

    I like the dress, though prefer the original pattern, it’s very cute in the orange.
    It’s a bit youthful, but it’s nice to see her change it up a bit.

    • Lady D says:

      Exactly. The orange one looks sophisticated, the blue one looks like it belongs on a 4-year-old in Sunday school.

      • Sullivan says:

        I’m certain I had a Laura Ashley dress like this when I was a little girl. She is headed toward “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane” territory.

  12. Toot says:

    Hairs a mess and that dress looks like something a young starlet might wear, but the print is very couchy. The whole look is just bad.

    • Belle Epoch says:

      Agree. Everything is off. She’s even wearing dark hose. She should not have left the house.

    • cs says:

      The hair should’ve been pulled back in loose bun. If she is so self- conscious about her ears, there are hairstyles that can be worn up and cover the ears. But this style is a mess, that’s not Kate Moss bed hair and I doubt Kate Moss (Fashion Icon) would’ve worn Bed hair with a frilly little girlie dress.

  13. MegK says:

    I love her hair! It looks so much better with a little texture and volume, instead of the usual stick-straight-parted-in-the-middle mess that so many actresses insist on wearing even though it’s flattering to almost no one.

  14. Sisi says:

    Yay!!!! A sidepart in her hair! FINALLY!

    • kibbles says:

      Yes, I love side parts and wavy hair. Bone straight and parted in the middle a la Goop Paltrow is so ugly. I don’t understand how some of these stars can make this hair faux pas time and time again.

      • Steph says:

        You’re right! I haven’t side-parted in awhile either, I think I might try it. I love her make-up too.

  15. Sabrine says:

    Really cute. The style of dress really flatters her petite figure and legs. Her makeup is done to perfection. Two thumbs up!

    • Mairead says:

      I saw it in a newspaper today and her hair was less wind blown and I thought it was an adorable look.

      But mainly I am just delighted that she’s covered up her chest when wearing a short skirt!

  16. Mae says:

    She always look amazing and classic! She the kind of woman where her beauty is so deep it just shines out of her!!!

  17. Kiki says:

    She looks gorgeous! I am not a fan of hers but it is the best look I’ve seen on her in years!

    • Brickyard Ute says:

      I agree! I like her and I like that this look is outside her comfort zone. The actual dress is not my favorite but I see the appeal and appreciate the link to the original.

      As for the hair, I’m from Texas so big, messy hair that looks like she just had sex is my favorite. Not claiming its fashionable in any way, just a look
      I like. 🙂

    • kibbles says:

      +1 I agree that this is the best she’s looked in a long time. I’m not a fan of hers and usually always have something negative to say about Jennifer Aniston, but this is a win for her. I must say that she even looks happier and more likable here.

  18. Cazzee says:

    I think that her hair person might secretly hate her. That is the only thing I can think of that would motivate a professional to do this.

    Think of her awful Oscars hair and now this unflattering mess…is there any other explanation?

  19. Jennifer12 says:

    It’s nice that she tried something different, but it doesn’t work. Her hair looks like she was sticking her head out a car window and the dress is really unflattering.

  20. Kim1 says:

    NO NO NO

    • Nicolette says:

      Agree, and it looks like we are in the minority here. She looks like a little girl that’s gone and raided her mommy’s closet to play ‘dress up’.

    • Linda says:

      Emma looses all sense of reasoning in any Jennifer Aniston post.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @Linda, who is probably also Liddy …

        Oh I get it … you’re just being a ‘B.’ Whateva! 🙂

        I can’t help it if ‘stumpy’ has an inferiority complex about aging, among other things.

      • Matt says:

        Wow.Get some serious help if you think that is stumpy.I would love to see what you look like.You say this every Jennifer Aniston and JP Thread.Your unhealthy Obsession with Angie and Jen is worrisome.

  21. Naomi says:

    I really, really love the back of the dress and the shoes. It is nice to see her in a pattern although this particular one, no. I think the pattern really detracts from the cut of the dress. For some reason from the first pic my eyes are drawn upwards and the cut of the dress around the armholes and the waist appears slightly bunched. Badly fitted? I don’t mind the double skirting but not a fan of the pleats. I can barely make them out through the pattern so maybe the pleats exist to allow the skirt to fall a certain way? I know zilch about sewing patterns and cutting and such so I’m pretty much blowing in the wind here in my attempts at description, lol, sorry.

  22. manly says:

    enough with those extentions……

    • Janet says:

      She has to wear the extensions. Her hair is severely damaged from over-bleaching and blow-drying.

  23. hadleyb says:

    I like the dress but it needs to be just a smidge longer, her hair is great but not with that dress. It looks like she was going to wear a black nifty dress with that hair and changed her mind at the last minute.

    I think her sleek straight hair, or sleek pony would of been better with this dress.

  24. judyjudy says:

    I like the dress. She’s got great legs.

  25. mfmaefh says:

    it is good to see her wear something different than her usual style,she looks good actually

  26. Amory says:

    I like the color and top half of the dress although the fit around the neck is questionable. The bottom of the dress is too cutsey for a women her age – it would be perfect on Selena Gomez or someone of that ilk.

    But oh my the hair. Her hair has looked flat and awful lately, so I think her hair dresser tried to overcompensate a bit here. I’m guessing the side part is to better hide the extensions, and the frizzy-ness is the result of trying to get more body into her hair. For a red carpet, it’s unprofessional.

  27. Shelley says:

    I love the dress and shoes. I would defnitely wear this outfit……and her legs look amazing.

  28. janie says:

    She’s not a teen & she looks ridiculous. A ruffle on the bottom of the dress? Good grief.. comb your hair and dress your age!

  29. Hypocrisy says:

    It’s different but doesn’t really suit her….though nice that she tried something different.

    I like the original dress (this one is too grand ma table cloth type) and those types of dresses fit better young, tall, slim with define waistline super leggy silouhettes.

  30. blue marie says:

    I think she looks cute, I’d wear the dress. But question, did they mean to match? Is that why she went with blue?

  31. mimi says:

    She looks great. Love the dress. It really suits her cute figure.

  32. Mandy says:

    I think she looks cute!

  33. Quinn says:

    Yikes. The dress is costumey, almost and her hair just looks unkempt. I do like her hair color, though.

  34. HN says:

    Her shoes doesn’t match the dress. I hate all her shoes. Always stuck in the 90’s.

  35. The Original G says:

    I’m not a fan of these amish prints, but she looks very nice. I think that colour is her friend.

  36. heidi says:

    The dress is very pretty. Nice to see a star covered up yet still very appealing. Good taste Jen

  37. Finn15 says:

    I can’t believe nobody has commented that it looks like she is hiding something under it. A pattern is perfect way to hide baby bump, oh yeah forgot she just gained a pound last week. I do like that she went outside the box

  38. Jackson says:

    I kind of love her hair here. I don’t think it works that great on the red carpet but as a casual look it’s great. And my word, I don’t know if it’s the lighting there or what but JA looks downright fresh and bright! Not overly tanned or orange and not with that same damn hairstyle. I really don’t like her much at all but this is the best I’ve seen her look in…forever? The dress kind of works but also looks a little juvenile – but a really nice change for once. Gah. I sound like a JA fan-girl.

  39. Mar says:

    I happen to love the whole thing

  40. Marion says:

    She’s wayyy tooo old to wear such a dress.

  41. doofus says:

    mixed feelings on this one.

    love the color, but I don’t like the neckline or the “second” ruffle at the bottom. I’d like it better if it were just one skirt/color.

    LOVE the shoes…but the hair is a no. TOO “unkempt/bedhead”…I agree with the poster above who said a sleek ponytail would look good with this.

  42. Green_eyes says:

    Not on a 44 yr old woman. Cute on a child.. you shouldn’t have to hold the back of your dress down when walking down the red carpet in fear that your dierre or spanx might show. Unless your 4 yrs old. Just sayin

    • kibbles says:

      Most women over the age of 35 wouldn’t be able to pull off this dress, but Jennifer’s got the body (and the botox and chemical peels) to pull it off and simply look like a younger version of her usual self. I’m not against older women wearing floral frocks or miniskirts as long as they don’t look cheap doing it and it flatters their body type.

  43. LadyAnne says:

    That hair is ridiculous.

    • lynn says:

      who wore it better ?
      Marion C for the win

    • Rhea says:

      I do not like her dress because it seems like a dress for a doll instead of for an event like this. Truly remind me of a dress that my mom once sewed for my doll long time ago. LOL.

      It would look so much better and perfect if she wore the exact dress like Marion C. They got the same dress pattern but thanks to the design, Marion seems more elegant and classy.

      With that said, as someone said here I’d also give JA an A for her effort.

  44. JillyRo says:

    It’s weird, since she started pimping those hair products, her hair has looke damaged, dry and flat. The style here nice CHANGE, but it looks “crispy” here and in need of conditioner.

    As for the dress, looks like an apron pattern to me. Glad she TRIED something different, but she’s the wrong age for it. When you are middle-mom-age, a dress styled best suited for a teen-tween-20 year is not for you. She is WAY TOO old for this style and dress. Cute but NOT for her at all.

    She should take styling tips from Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, all in her age and all have mastered the 40-towards-50 dressing. Even Charlize Theron, Amy Adams and Cameron Diaz, all younger than JA, are dressing differently.

    • Amory says:

      I agree on both counts — I think her hair has never looked worse lately, and I would love to see her adopt a more sophisticated style. But she has never been sophisticated, and she seems very tied to her dated looks, so I don’t think it’s going to happen. She did at least try here, but it’s just not a winner.

  45. The Original Mia says:

    Momma said if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.

  46. grisgrisny says:

    Ugh. The back of the dress and too short skirt reminds me of a “slutty” Raggedy Ann Halloween costume.

  47. Dani says:

    I loooveee how she looks!!Amazing hair!! For me this is her best look (facewise)!!The back of the dress is very pretty also!!

  48. Sandy says:

    Her dress looks like a 5 year old’s girl dress or a pair of ugly curtains. Fail!

  49. Janet says:

    I’m getting a very “how-ya-gonna-keep-’em-down-on-the-farm” vibe from that dress. And we won’t even start on the hair.

  50. Maria says:

    The dress isn’t the most flattering thing she’s ever worn, but at least I’m not falling asleep looking at her.

  51. lisa says:

    it would be a lot better if it was just 1 pattern. with 2 patterns, she looks like holly hobbie

  52. Eleonor says:

    That’s something Taylor Swift would wear…so NO.

    • Amory says:

      Although I do think it would suit Taylor Swift – she has that long lean body and is the right age for it.

      I did enjoy your comment – good chuckle!

  53. BooBooLaRue says:

    I’m late in watching “Office Space” for the first time, but it only confirmed what I have always thought. Girl has no talent and is mediocre at best. She had a good nose job though and yes, this dress is epic. Failure. Now go run along and play outside.

  54. Emily C. says:

    I hate the dress with a passion. It is HIDEOUS. And not only hideous, but also too short and obviously uncomfortable. There is no upside to that ugly sack. I also hate her hair. That tousled “sexy” look is ridiculous on the red carpet and looks wildly unprofessional. It even looks filthy. I hate the shoes. They look incredibly uncomfortable.

    I like her earrings though. Totally stupid to wear with her hair down, however. I guarantee she was trying to get strands of hair out of those hoops the whole time.

  55. S says:

    Two words: hot meas

  56. Bee says:

    Her face looks amazing. So youthful. She has the glow of a woman on fertility drugs. I hope it works out for her. Will always have a soft spot for Rachel Green.

  57. Seszie says:

    I love this dress. 🙂

  58. UsedToBeLulu says:

    I liked the dress much better in orange, but don’t like that style of a full skirt that starts right at your natural waist. Her makeup looks good – she looks very fresh. I like the hair just because it’s different than what she usually does.

    I just thought I’d point out that she is not touching her stomach. I can’t believe she is not getting credit for that. lol

  59. LaurieH says:

    Jennifer Aniston is a pretty woman with a stunning figure. That said, unflattering dress and not age-appropriate for a 44 year-old woman. Jen is at that age now where she needs to realize that just because she has the body of a 16 yr old doesn’t mean she should dress like one. She looks ridiculous.

  60. Christne says:

    I get a Mary Had a Little Lamb Halloween costume vibe from the dress. Her face looks pretty though and I am not usually a fan.

  61. Spring Season says:

    Halle Berry has a stunning body and the best body in HW. Aniston is just okay for her resources to stay skinny and to not have had zero children.

    Anyway, she looks foolish in that dress and you can tell she is uncomfortable in it because she trying to hold it down. She do have a choice and could have said no to this child’s/young girl dress.

  62. T says:

    I LOVE Her but she REALLY needs a hair change.. cmon girl cut it off and make it more edgy !! and if she wants long hair then clip in extentions!! 😀

  63. K-Rock says:

    Bed head if done right, can be very sexy. I have no idea whats going on with that mess shes sporting.

  64. Lauren says:

    Dislike the dress (although I appreciate the effort to do something different). Hate the hair.

  65. Ginger says:

    I don’t like the dress at all. It’s looks like a junior high dance dress. Her hair would have been cuter if tamed a bit. It kind of looks like she stuck her head out of the sunroof on the way there.

  66. anne_000 says:

    It looks like it’s something she could have worn 40 yrs ago when she was 5 yrs old… It’s like something McCall’s would have sold as a pattern back in the 60s & 70s. Like something Cindy from the Brady Bunch would have worn…
    The orange version looks better.
    JA’s hair-styling choice is really terrible too.

  67. mercy says:

    I’m tired of the hairstyle she’s been wearing for the last 20 odd years, but messing it up a little only makes it look worse. I’m not opposed to messy, but it looks like she’s trying hard. She’s a succesful woman in her 40s. She should play to her strengths and stop with the looks better suited for teenyboppers.

    Sudeikis always reminds me of the caricatures of oily used car salesmen.

  68. Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

    My mil has one of those aprons – how fashion forward of Jen to wear it as a spring frock – Justin must love it when she makes him a sandwich in this get up.

  69. Worfkitty says:

    Is it me or does her hair and stance with left hand on hip remind anyone else of Kristen Stewart???

  70. siobhan says:

    Her body looks amazing in the last pic. I don’t hate the dress but I don’t really like it either. It’s ok. If she had worn a gorgeous black dress there would be 150 comments saying she should wear anything other than another LBD.

  71. metallicwow says:

    I LOVE she tried something new, but this didn’t work…all around terrible for her, from the ugly pattern, fit and hem to the messy hair. Does she need to fire the stylist or get one?

    • siobhan says:

      I don’t think it can be blamed entirely on her stylist. Most celebs probably have strong opinions on what they do and don’t like. It’s possible Jen saw this dress and wanted to wear it. But I am glad to read at least a few nice comments on a Jen thread. I am not even a fan but the amount of hate she gets on this site over every little thing is sad. I don’t understand how on a site where I have read many intelligent debates about real issues also has such ridiculous comments about certain celebrities. I know some celebrities are not well liked but that doesn’t mean everything they have ever said, done, wore etc is bad. It doesn’t mean that every bad rumor is true and every good rumor is planted by a publicist.

  72. Isa says:

    I’m just gonna give her props for not wearing a LBD and leave it at that.

  73. rlh says:

    Hate the dress, but I would hate it on any adult woman. But the main color (the dark blue) is great on her. And LOVE the shoes. She has great taste in shoes.

  74. Jayna says:

    At 44, it just looks too young. I loved loved her style during the Breakup movie in the movie and in promoting it in her tailored blouses and pencil skirts and even before. So streamlined and classic.

    Wow, really interesting her discussing wanting children and back before she was so guarded in interviews, more chatty. This was back when she was with Tate Donovan. She seemed really in love. She was so cute. Healthy hair, not OrangeJennifer, before her last nose job.

  75. AbFabFan says:

    She looks fabulous! I love the dress and she has to body for it – if you’ve got it, flaunt it. Don’t worry Jen, the haters are so envious!

  76. chalkdustgirl says:

    I can smell the Aqua Net from here.

  77. Bea says:

    Her slip is showing.

  78. Denise says:

    That dress is a time machine, you put it on and it takes your hair back to 1990.

  79. silly you says:

    she was drunk when she put that dress on, right? explains the hair, too.

  80. Tara says:

    Haven’t read the other comments, but I’m willing to be the one with unpopular taste. I love everything about this look. I think she looks fun, fantastic and sexier than I’ve seen her in a decade. And I don’t compliment Jen easily.

  81. Caroline says:

    Her shoes need a platform, and the hair needs to be more polished..not refined per se but it looks too fried here
