Jennifer Aniston in a little plaid dress at NYC ‘Cake’ screening: cute or blah?

FFN_Aniston_Jenn_GGFF_111614_51587349

Far be it from me to add more kindling to Uncool Bermuda Triangle fire, but I think it’s incredibly odd that Jennifer Aniston did a screening of Cake last night, just hours before Angelina Jolie’s worldwide premiere of Unbroken in Australia. The Unbroken premiere has been on the books for a few months now (we’ll have photos in a bit). Jennifer only recently got a distributor for Cake – and she basically just bought it herself and she’s going to be financing her own Oscar campaign – so is she trying to steal The Leg’s thunder? Deep thoughts on a Monday, I know. Perhaps it’s just a quirk of timing. Perhaps.

Anyway, for the screening last night, Jennifer wore this plaid dress which is A) too short and B) too big in her waist. So when she walks or does anything, the dress rides up and gives her the appearance of a baby bump. She’s not pregnant, people. She just wanted to look bumpy and/or show off her legs. I’m also including some photos of Jennifer earlier in the day (Sunday) – I like that outfit so much more. Great jeans, great boots (I think the boots came to the screening too), and just a better look overall. Is the coat the same? No, I don’t think so. Both coats are nice though. Jennifer’s always had pretty good coat game.

Once again, just like for the Horrible Bosses 2 premiere in London, Justin Theroux was around (somewhere) for the screening, but she didn’t walk the carpet with him. She didn’t appear with him until the afterparty.

So, what do you think? Did The Hair steal The Leg’s thunder?

    I like everything minus the boots. With jeans, they are ok. She looks really pretty.

  2. Jaderu says:

    I like her outfit.
    There. I said it. Flog me.

  3. Roma says:

    I think the JA conspiracy theories are starting to get into Illuminati territory…

    Most of these screenings are set months in advance.

    • FingerBinger says:

      +1 She’s not trying to compete with Angelina Jolie. She’s trying to get people interested in that dopey Cake movie.

      • Esmom says:

        Agree, they’re two totally different movies with likely totally different audiences. I’m sure movie premieres overlap all the time.

    • lucy2 says:

      Seriously, it’s a bit ridiculous. These are two women with busy, successful careers. It seems if one does anything besides go into isolation whenever the other is promoting something, it’s some crazy plan to steal attention. No, it’s just life. Quit pitting them against each other already.

      • Roma says:

        I get that blogs and the tabloids like to hype it up as it hypes up a story, but it’s really running old. I would have to imagine that at any given time one of the two women is out promoting something. And it’s really the people who are emotionally invested in this (as evidenced below) that weirds me out.

    • Tulip Garden says:

      Roma,
      I actually think that the JA conspiracy theories are getting downright funny 🙂 You just kind of have to read them, shake your head, and smile. If folks are so invested in disliking her that they take the “conspiracy” road, then reasoning and logic are so far in their rearview mirror that they are never going to acknowledge either one.

    • Sal says:

      The problem with that is she only got a distributor 2 weeks ago, so clearly the screening was only set in the last week or so. Months after Angelina’s was, no doubt. If anything, you saying it takes months in advance planning, while Aniston clearly did not have months only 2 weeks, basically proves our point and backs up the view that she stalks Angelina, since she had less time to plan than Angelina did. If anyone still thinks, after ALL this time and aaallllll this evidence that “she’s not trying to compete with Angelina Jolie” they are a complete moron. Or, a fan in utter denial. rme smh Even her fans have to admit what is now painfully obvious to all. To not do so, is dishonest on so many levels. Roma its interesting that you had no response to how I showed what you said about months in advance actually shows that she is competing with AJ. I think some are too proud to admit when they’re wrong. Interesting its only Jen fans on here denying the ‘conspiracy theories’. Its sad that they are so invested in Aniston that they will do anything to deny the truth and that logic and reason plays no part in their deep denial, which aint just a river in Egypt. SMH

      At this point in time her defenders on here will deny even if Aniston herself is tape-recorded with her publicist arranging to upstage Angelina deliberately. I mean, what does it take?

      • Roma says:

        I didn’t reply as, quite frankly, you have a pretty strong opinion that I don’t think will be swayed. All I’m going to say is that the “Cake” screening was organized by The Cinema Society and InStyle and was probably set up before the film received distribution. And honestly, that’s my only comment to you.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @Roma, who wrote: “All I’m going to say is that the “Cake” screening was organized by The Cinema Society and InStyle and was probably set up before the film received distribution. And honestly, that’s my only comment to you.”

        Why in the world would any ‘entity’ set up a screening for a film without a distributor or release date, neither of which “Cake” had prior to two weeks ago? Jen is screening “Cake” in advance of the Oscar Award Rules mandatory ‘Film must be in distribution in a Theater for at least 7 days by December 31st for ANY Oscar Category consideration’ release dates. Without a Distributor, there wouldn’t have been a need for a 7-day release in the Oscar Award consideration period. The film would have gone directly to DVD so, therefore, there wouldn’t have been a need for a screening.

        Someone ‘recently’ chose this screening date in advance of the mandatory 7-day release period; which wasn’t on anyone’s radar two weeks ago.

      • DenisePayne says:

        I agree with this point of view, but it’s less compete (not even Jennifer aniston is that deluded) and more coattailing. I think she and her publicist knows interest in her exponentially increases the closer the proximity to anything Jolie and or Pitt. They’re foils for her. She and her PR knows more eyes will go to her if a lot of people are thinking of rivalries and catfights and tabloids and old hurts and ‘competition.’

        Remember the 2009 oscars? Remember who won? I remember 101 ‘showdown!’ Tabloid articles. If brangelina weren’t there no one would care if she was there or not. It’s kind of like hype for this cake movie. In any other year it would never get coverage like this without Jolie as foil, and it would be even more of a joke. Nothing against her, but this is pretty blatant coattailing. Anyone else and she’d be called out…but people are still so careful of her feelings. Lol

  4. Loopy says:

    That outfit is giving me ‘Clueless’ mid nineties vibes.

    • Ag says:

      yes! i totally had a similar dress in the 90s.

      like the coats, though.

    • Jackson says:

      It is, ha ha! And yet, I still like it.

    • PurpleCandyCane says:

      Oh yeah! Like that yellow ensemble Cher picked out at the start of the movie.

      • doofus says:

        man, remember her closet that had that carousel thing like at the dry cleaner, and showcased all of her clothes?

        I want one of those SO BAD.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        Yeah, I remember … I also remember that Cher was 16-years-old, too.

    • Cupcake says:

      Yup, 90s was my first thought too!!
      Well the 90s were her peak so it makes sense!

    • Wilma says:

      I think this is the reason I like the outfit as much as I do.

      • doofus says:

        Plaid is apparently very “IN” this fall/winter.

        I’ve seen a whole lotta dresses at L&T and Nordstrom in plaid. Skirts, too, in just about every major retailer.

      • Tara says:

        The 90s had a lot of great fabrics and tailoring. Not everything had to be skin tight. It’s really the 80s that plague me; people just won’t let them go… And it’s definitely a “worst-of-retail” parade.

    • Isabelle says:

      Total ninetes, even had a dress very similar to it. Still cute.

  5. Josephine says:

    I like the plaid dress. I think the look is a bit young for her, but I still like it. I don’t get the hair, though. It’s shiny but kinda flat and lifeless these days.

    • Camille (The Original) says:

      I think she has made her hair colour a bit darker, and has lost a bit of her usual orange tan, all in order to be taken a bit more seriously for her Oscar campaign no doubt.

  6. Renee says:

    I hate both outfits. The [laid jumper looks like its from someone school uniform and I have to admit that I was disappointed when I saw it because I imagined it to be red plaid, not black and white…wear some color, woman!! ( full disclosure: this comment has been posted by someone who thinks that wearing white is wearing color.)

  7. ds says:

    Looks like a Kate Middleton combination. Duchess would wear that. Only she would add some eyeliner.

  8. Shelley says:

    Love..love..love. It’s such a cute outfit. She wins on this one.

  9. Dawn says:

    I like it. To me the outfit looks very retro like something that walked out of Seventeen in 1969!

    • Janet says:

      Seventeen didn’t use 45 year old models in 1969. As far as I know they still don’t.

    • Dawn says:

      I said the OUTFIT not Jennifer!

    • Josephine says:

      But should she be in an outfit targeted for 17 year olds (and younger)? I still kinda like it.

      • doofus says:

        I don’t know if that outfit is necessarily targeted at the 17 year old crowd.

        I was just noticing that most major retailers have a bunch of dresses and skirts in plaid…apparently “plaid is the new black” this fall/winter.

        don’t let the age-issue stop you from wearing plaid if you like it! 🙂

      • It does give me a school girl vibe (and I’m remembering that episode of Orange is the New Black, with Maritza’s best friend wearing a similar outfit for the job fair episode), but I don’t think it’s inappropriate. It’s an okay look–not great. I think if it was more fitted, with the jacket buttoned the same way, it would be better.

  10. Kitten says:

    Love the whole outfit and I fear no one.

  11. serena says:

    If she continues to dress like that she won’t be able to steal a candy, let alone The Leg.

    I mean, those outfits are good for going out casually but not for an official event (whichever it may be)! So boring!

    • Amcn says:

      That was my first thought as well. I’m sure the event is not black tie but you’re not going to the mall either. This is make or break for your career, dress it up and bring a bit of attention.

      • serena says:

        Yep, she could do a little bit more and better. It’s not awful, on the opposite,just plain and boring,

  12. lower-case deb says:

    i like it, or the idea of it. (please don’t hurt me)
    but something’s wrong with the fit/tailoring?

    speaking of tailors…. this ensemble is really something up Taylor Swift’s alley.

  13. scout says:

    Love the black coat with plaid dress.

  14. Maya says:

    Oh come on – 20 people turned up to see Jennifer in London for the HB 2 premier while thousands turned to see Angelina for the Unbroken premier. That pretty much says it all.

    These two actresses are not in even in the same league – Angelina is the only woman who is playing with the big boys. Jennifer has never been a power player to command the same attention, power, respect and admiration Angelina can and does.

    I am not putting Jennifer down in any way but Angelina is way above all of the female actresses and even some male ones.

    As for Jennifer trying to steal Angelina’s Thunder – well at least people have finally realised how manipulative Jennifer has been all these years. She has always been following the JPs and been coattailing them from movies to engagements.

    Also I seriously don’t think Jennifer has any change at all to be nominated or even mentioned in the award season. If a movie doesn’t get a distributor – well that is pretty much game over.

    PS: I like her style these days – trying to be taken seriously suits her.

    • RobN says:

      I don’t really know or care, but to be fair, London has a premiere of something every single day, and nobody opens anything in Australia. Obviously, it’s going to be a big deal.

    • norah says:

      if you look at what angelina is doing there is definitely no competition between the fake hair and aj. what saddens me is that jennifer sd be competing with herself and pushing herself career wise especially. or do something different – shake things up. pretending that she can compete with aj or any other hw film/movie/tv actress is simply an exercise in futility. compare her lack of career to so many others in hw. i think jennifer simply doesnt understand that what worked for her earlier in her career wont work now – she sd have realised it and adapted to things – media wise etc

      • doofus says:

        “jennifer sd be competing with herself and pushing herself career wise especially. or do something different – shake things up.”

        which she is. and look at how much flak she’s getting for it.

      • Tulip Garden says:

        Doofus,
        There you go with “the logic” again! Can’t you see it has no place here?

        BALLS! CHRISTMAS ONES CAUSE YEP I PUT MY TREE UP YESTERDAY!!!!!! (*Didn’t put one up last year at all, trying not to give in to temptation and not do one again thus becoming Grinch-like 🙂

      • Kitten says:

        Yeah what Doofus said.
        Girl can’t win. Oh, and BALLS for old times sake.

      • Luca76 says:

        Well on one hand she SHOULD get props for doing something different.
        Some Brangelina fans go way over the top into nasty commentary the reason both movies are screening is because this is Oscar season and both of them want Oscars.

        That being said her Oscar campaign has been cringe worthy. It’s not just the crazy brangelina fans that have noticed how manufactured her buzz for Cake is. Go on any Oscar race site and she’s a bit of a punchline for how hard she’s pushing this when the quality of work and actual interest aside from well placed PR isn’t there.
        Personally I think she’s shooting herself in the foot I don’t think its impossible for anyone to win an Oscar in the right circumstances but she’s not doing herself any favors with this push.

      • Josephine says:

        @ doofus – No one is giving her flak for shaking things up. I think people are giving her flak for shaking things up and immediately starting an oscar campaign for not wearing make-up. There’s a difference.

    • Amcn says:

      I agree. I don’t think it works in JA’s favour to have the dates coincide. Obviously Unbroken is on a much bigger scale and will draw a lot more attention, who is talking about Cake today? Unless the intention is to fly under the radar in case the reviews are not so hot. But it’s all just conjecture.

      And JA is not doing anything different from the clips I’ve seen. Unless you count no makeup. Look at JMoore talk about her prep for her extremely oscar worthy performance. Is the first thing she mentions superficial looks? Or all the time she invested learning and researching and prepping her actual performance? Nothing new with JA, same old Rachel without glossy cuteness.

      • Grant says:

        Is anyone really talking about Unbroken though? I don’t think so. Go to any race website or forum and it’s not really on anyone’s radar, tbqh.

      • Luca76 says:

        @ Grant right now Unbroken is in second place on Golden Derby. It’s been mentioned on every site I’ve seen as a contender just because of the baitiness of the project HOWEVER there at no reviews yet so it may just putter out in a few weeks.

      • FLORC says:

        Unbroken is being talked about everywhere. Maybe the gossip sites pick up more on what they wore and both have films at the same time, but that’s not a fair sense.. And there are high, high hopes for it. Right now it’s all i’m hearing. People are really excited to see this film.

      • Amcn says:

        @Grant Most publications I’ve seen have a story about the Unbroken premiere. A lot is focused on AJ/BP but the movie is discussed as well. And all the “oscar buzz”. Having the cake screening at the same time did not detract from that nor did it really garner Cake any more attention. So I really think it wasn’t some planned coup on the insane PR campaign that is JA’s “oscar buzz”. There are many other things, just not this one.

  15. The Original G says:

    If she added a couple of inches to that dress it wouldn’t look so try hard, but she looks nice.

  16. Lulu says:

    It’s hard for Jen. I mean whatever she does she’s always playing the game. Skirt too short, waistline produces bump, trying to steal angie’s thunder… I think some of these speculations are beginning to feel a bit exhausting…

  17. whatsmyname? says:

    I like the outfit. I’m not sure about those particular boots but they don’t take away anything, she looks very pretty. I like the second outfit as well, and the coat looks cosy I seriously need a similar one.

  18. Evinced says:

    Why aren’t the other actors promoting this movie, too?

    • norah says:

      do you think that anna kendrick who is more interested in promoting into the woods will be pushing for this cake which is reeking from staleness ??? into the woods is a major movie with aa stars why wd she want to be wasting her time with cake? and the dress does nothing for jennifer – too young for her

    • Natasha says:

      Yeah! That’s what I wanna know.

    • Camellia says:

      Mamie Gummer was there last night.

    • Tippy says:

      The burden of promoting movies often falls to or is assumed by Jennifer.

      Even as part of an ensemble cast, Jennifer consistently does more than her fair share of the heavy lifting with regard to promotional work.

      Being a dependable worker and a consummate professional is part of the reason she’s so well regarded in Hollywood.

    • lucy2 says:

      Anna Kendrick is filming something in New Orleans at the moment.

    • Luca76 says:

      I’m sure for the rest of the cast they’ve looked at the reception it got at TIFF and have made other projects their priority. For Jen its a now or never moment and obviously there is a lot of vanity and she’s put herself in a bubble of PR where she believes she’s contention with Reese and Julianne.
      I don’t agree that this is some competition with Unbroken but I do think she’s doing her best to ape all the other contenders eventhough she’s getting very little actual Oscar buzz from any genuine sources.

  19. H says:

    She needs a new haircut as badly as Goopy, but the outfit is cute. Maybe a bit young for her but the coat and the boots are a good counterpoint. I think she’s just hustling for Cake. She’s competitive with her ex and his wife, sure, but I don’t think this was that specific.

  20. Jayna says:

    I love the whole ensemble,

  21. Cherie says:

    I love this looks. It’s cute, and she looks adorable.

  22. RobN says:

    Love it! That coat might look even better on me, though.

  23. norah says:

    ja has tried this same tactic over and over again – it has gotten old to be honest and predictable – pple can see through it . going to the governor’s ball just like aj did last year – wearing a similar white dress – scheduling the cake on the same night as unbroken premieres is definitely not done accidentally. it is planned and it is entertaining to see jennifer doing stuff like this – competing against windmills – thinking she has a chance when she so clearly doesnt. another thing is why not show off justin – she took him to london anddidnt walk the rc with him and this is in ny and still no rc sighting. after all jt is her fiance right? did she think that his skinny jeans would steal her thunder or what?

  24. smcollins says:

    She looks pretty, and while she does have fabulous hair, it’d be nice to see her do something different with it. Aside from varying lengths she’s had the same hairstyle forever! I guess you stick with what works.

  25. Birdie says:

    It is quite ridiculous to think that JA did that screening because of a premiere in Australia with AJ. Really? And I also don’t think she wants to look bumpy. I’m tired of these odd conspiracy theories. Why do people keep this non-existent triangle alive?

    • Tulip Garden says:

      Bravo! Your comment encapsulates my feelings on the whole situation. I definitely don’t think Jen has anything to gain by keeping the “triangle” alive. Jolie fans think that she will never measure up and Aniston fans don’t make the comparison in the first place so…I guess it is tabloids, bloggers, and a small but vocal group of posters who enjoy slagging Jen off. And, yes, the whole thing is really lame and tiring.

    • Yeah, I think these kind of jumps are ridiculous. I’ll say that Jennifer follows them, when she or one of her friends makes an obvious personal comment, but two premieres a day apart/on the same day is reaching. Plus I think this screening (despite none of the other ‘stars’ being on the carpet) is Jennifer’s attempt to be seen as a more serious actress. So she needs to be out there.

      I side eye her for this, a little, because it seems to me like she only goes to NYC with her fiance when there’s a premiere. Last time she was photographed in NYC to my knowledge was back in June for the Leftovers premiere, and she might’ve gone back sometime in the summer (I think I remember a post with her and Justin walking around sometime after the HBO premiere).

      • maddelina says:

        I dont think there’s a camera following them around 24/7.

      • @Maddelina
        So it’s a coincidence that every time Jennifer and Justin are photographed together (I see most of the pics at the Dailymail and have looked at various fansites for candids) it’s because someone has a premiere. Yet Jennifer left NYC because she said it was like living in a fishbowl i.e. the paparazzi were all over her no matter where she went–but she’s only been photographed a few times there this year. And 90% of those times involved a red carpet. Okay.

        You have your opinions and I have mine.

    • DenisePayne says:

      Really? There’s 365 days in a year and picks the same night within hours of Angelina’s for a film that two weeks ago was undisturbed and gathering dust on a shelf until she had to buy it herself…and suddenly it has a ‘premiere’ on the same night as Angelina’s. I would think just out if sheer embarrassment she would move it. But at this point I think desperation is her middle name and she knows she benefits, gets more ink and more eyes on her when Angelina is in the mix. ‘I will not be IGNOOOORRED Daaaan – I mean Braaaaad!!’ Lol

  26. tabasco says:

    Those aren’t the same boots. The day boots have a pretty visible half-length metallic inside zip and some metal (?) detail on around the sole. The screening boots don’t. JA is generally my very least favorite when it comes to fashion because BORING. And this is boring too, but it’s cute and her hair/skin/makeup look quite a bit better than usual. I’m one of those who doesn’t get the big deal about her hair and I’m not saying one outing where her hair looks good validates her status as The Hair, but it does look better than usual. New makeup person? Somebody gave her some good frizz serum? A recent treatment? (I mean microdermabrasion, laser, something like that, she doesn’t look surgeried to me.)

  27. Tippy says:

    I think that time is of the essence with regard to the Cake screening.

    They’re probably already behind schedule for a 2014 qualifying run and Thanksgiving is next week in the USA and people are busy with travel plans.

    Maybe if the two events took place on the same continent it might be considered “stealing thunder”.

  28. I think the outfit’s okay. I’d like it if it was a little longer, because I always get nervous about anything that is mid thigh–and I think it’s entirely appropriate for a smaller red carpet, not too fussy.

    But I am entirely cynical, because I saw photos of Jennifer and Justin coming out of an NYC hotel and the airport, and I was wondering if Jennifer was going to stay in NYC for a longer period—but then I see that she’s got a premiere. Makes sense.

  29. Emma - the JP Lover says:

    Jennifer only ‘just’ got a Distributor for “Cake” so today’s screening date wasn’t about an arbitrary, prearranged schedule. Someone recently chose this date. I believe someone deliberately chose this particular date for the “Cake” premiere screening in order to get a back-draft from the “Unbroken” premiere screening in Australia. Why do I believe this? Because it’s what Jen and her PR Guru Steve Huvane have done so well since 2005.

  30. Sal says:

    Agreed Emma. You should know better though, than to use reasoning and logic with the Jen fans. They will stubbornly deny and lie and deny again, no matter you wave in their faces. Unfortunately the usual suspects are so deep in denial, it is absurd. I’ve never seen anything like this! Its like they’d rather make fools of themselves than cede anything. No surprise she had her screening on the same night as Angelina, this trick is nothing but predictable. She is such a spiteful stalking psycho. As for her outfit, she looks like a cross between a school girl and a stripper.

  31. someone says:

    A dress doesn’t have to be skin tight to look good, she looks very pretty in both pictures

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      @Someone, who wrote: “A dress doesn’t have to be skin tight to look good, she looks very pretty in both pictures”

      True, but let’s be real … the look is very “Seventeen” magazine, Marcia Brady-ish (I think Marcia Brady actually ‘wore’ that outfit on a date). The dress is way too short and way to young for her.

  32. Ginger says:

    I love that dress! In fact i dig the whole outfit. If my legs looked that good, I’d wear a short dress too. She looks very pretty.

  33. Lucky Charm says:

    That dress I is WAY too a short. Is she trying to look like a six year old schoolgirl?

  34. maddelina says:

    She looks great! Love the ensemble.

  35. Karen says:

    It’s a cute outfit, but too young. Perfect for someone 20 years younger-e.g., Taylor Swift.

    My question is why the need to stay in a hotel if Justin (they) have an apartment in NYC? She just discussed redecorating it. Let’s see where they both end up tomorrow-my guess Justin stays and JA back to LA. Maybe this year they can spend Thanksgiving together. Something weird about these two…

    • Kim1 says:

      He lived in that apt with the girlfriend he was with when he started dating Aniston.Maybe she doesn’t want to stay there until she redecorates it.

      • Ennie says:

        She would not live in the Calabasas home where her exhusband lived with a former girlfriend for a few years, imagine this apt where the fiance and his ex Heidi lived for more than a decade!

    • I don’t get that either–every time she’s in NYC with him, they’re always photographed coming out a hotel. She probably should’ve kept those apartments that she bought back in 2011 before they allegedly started dating……

    • Josephine says:

      I could see her wanting some amenities while on the road, like a nice gym and room service. Maybe his place is still too much of a bachelor pad for her, or doesn’t have good security. I totally can’t knock her for wanting to stay in a hotel when she can afford a nice suite!

      • Karen says:

        So why not get a new place together in NYC? She can certainly afford it. She sold her place in The Village rather quickly. Other stars manage to live in NYC. Many of the new condos have different entrances for star tenants. And Nicole and Keith have a place where they drive in and a car elevator takes them to their apartment.

        She has no commitment to NYC.

      • @Karen
        Yep. It’ll be interesting to see where their relationship goes. Neither are budging. She only bought those apartments in NYC to get Justin, imo. But she sold them rather quickly. And she’s only really been in NYC for premieres……didn’t she grow up there?

    I like plaid and I think the dress is cute. The boots go better with the jeans though. I wish that just once, she’d do something different with her hair other than pin straight, parted in the middle. An updo, twist, even some loose curls for variety . . . something!

    No deep-thinking thoughts from Jennifer? Where’s the “I like playing dress up, I do it like a r-word”? How about something on Justin’s eyeballs? Or, another amazing cliche on female empowerment? Her tips for becoming a great actress? Hair? Make-up? Nothing? How disappointing. 🙁

    Her hair does look glorious. I hope she does get an Oscar nom just to piss off all the haters.

  40. Coco says:

    I love the coat!

  41. angela says:

    She really looks good in the plaid dress pictures. She looks rested, good make up, no tan, youthful but appropriate.

  42. Tara says:

    Cute! I can’t find anything wrong with this look (dammit!).

  43. Leslie says:

    Damn, she looks healthy.

  44. Kitsch says:

    Very 1991.

    hmm i think timing is more to do with Horrible Bosses promotion timing. It’s a smart move – all her horrible bosses promo play into promo work for Cake as well. No triangle related conspiracy theory here!

    I feel like we’ve been on unbroken promo for a full year now (exhausting). It better live up to the hype it’s getting… fingers crossed!

    I like the outfit, the coat and the BOOTS. Can someone id them – i covet.

    Jennifer Aniston hired Lisa Taback, shes a Pro for Oscar Buzz. She did the Buzz for Gwyneth Paltrow too. Many people in Hollywood are making Jokes of Anistons very obvious created Oscar buzz. She got decent reviews for her performance but thats it.

    Her hair and her skin looks good in this pics but that dress is awful. really really awful.
    but if she likes it, good for her.

  47. Anare says:

    Love the plaid with coat and boots. She looks great. Hair, make-up, styling all good. As for the boots and jeans look, it’s fine. Here is my gripe. Why would a designer put silver zippers on black suede boots? Fug! The boots she wears with the plaid dress have black zippers, thankfully.

  48. Suzanne says:

    I just can’t get past “the chin”….whenever I look at her. Sorry….but I never GOT what was so hot about her.
