Jennifer Aniston set the stepping stones for unabated success following her breakthrough role in Friends. However, instead of letting herself get typecast into similar roles, her acting forays led her to play many roles across vast genres of cinema. While her most recent remarkable work in Apple TV+’s The Morning Show has kept the spotlight on her, earlier outings such as 2023’s Murder Mystery 2 alongside Adam Sandler didn’t get enough recognition for one key aspect of the movie: fashion accuracy.

The actress’ knack for an on-spot sense of fashion met the match in the flick’s costume designer, who left no stone unturned in maintaining intricacy, and indeed, accuracy.

The lengthy deep dive that Murder Mystery 2 took to freshen out its visual narrative

Released on Netflix about a year ago on Netflix, Murder Mystery 2 had Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler as Audrey and Nick Spitz. However, beyond its plot, including a traditional Indian wedding, acting, and direction, a key highlight came in crafting the ivory chikankari lehenga worn by Aniston. On March 2023, speaking to Vogue India, its costume designer Debra McGuire laid bare that creating the dress took a whopping three months of meticulous attention.

After settling on noted Indian fashion designer Manish Malhotra as the craftsman, the team began work on an attire that was “contemporary yet adorned the essence of Indian handcraft” as per Aniston’s wishes. The lehenga used rectangular motifs, an embroidered floral blouse with pearl droplets, and a handmade back tassel. Additionally, McGuire leaned heavily on the traditional side of things, opting for a “respectful” design that honored the script, marking a glorious end result.

The iconic outing further came as a testament to the actress’ immaculate sense of fashion and her legacy as a trendsetter for the likes of Taylor Swift.

However, in mid-2023, she dropped a “Summer time photo dump” featuring a crossbody bag aka a fanny pack. The highlight came in the manner in which she carried the style, along with a casual midi and sandals.

The look soon took many under its grip, with the likes of Taylor Swift, Mindy Kaling, and Jennifer Lawrence hopping on board.
