Is there a way for fans to express their admiration for their favorite shows and characters apart from being vocal about it? Yes, there is. For instance, recently when Barbie was released, fans went to watch the movie dressed up as Barbie and Ken. This tradition of following their favorite actors, characters, shows, or films is way older. Ever since Jennifer Aniston starred as Rachel Green in Friends, she became an icon that fans still follow.

When the American diva breathed life into Rachel Green with her brilliant skills, fans could not resist following it. However, while becoming an idol for women all around the world, the actress herself had a contrary opinion about it. What did Jennifer Aniston not like about Rachel Green?

Jennifer Aniston did not love this one Rachel Green trait

Apart from her brilliant fashion sense, Rachel also became famous for her hairstyle. From 1994 to 2004, each season Rachel had different hairstyles. But her hairstyle in the first season became an unforgettable trend. It became so famous that it was recognized as a pop culture phenomenon by women from all around the world. As reported by Express, almost 11 million British women requested their hairstylists to give them The Rachel cut. Despite the high demand, Aniston did not like it and said, “I think it was the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen,” in her interview with Allure reported via People.

The 54-year-old actress loved her hairstylist, Chris McMillan, who was responsible for The Rachel. Still, she did not consider her hairstyle in the ’90s sitcom as her best look. In another interview in 2013, she said it was horrible and high maintenance. The Murder Mystery actress also added she would curse every time McMillan would blow-dry her hair. After Friends, Aniston and her hairstylist, who adore the actress, continue to work together.

While the Horrible Bosses actress has been vocal about her dislike toward the hairstyle, Chris McMillan admitted he knew what he was doing. Aniston reflected on her hair during her time on the NBC sitcom when McMillan won the Hairstylist of the Year award in 2018. Although the actress did not like her look in Friends, her fans still adore her as the iconic Rachel Green and her amazing hairstyle throughout the show. Well, following in Aniston’s footsteps, many celebrities also got a similar haircut.

Which celebrities embraced The Rachel?

The Rachel haircut was popular among celebrities, with Rachel McAdams, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Tyra Banks, Meg Ryan, and Cameron Diaz being just a few examples. Not only the classic actresses, but modern celebrities also went back to the ’90s to get the hairstyle.

Billie Piper also got a similar hairstyle and flaunted her new look on her Instagram profile. Additionally, the beloved singer, Selena Gomez, also donned the hairstyle in 2020, revealing she was a great Jennifer Aniston fan. Therefore, it did not come as a surprise to fans when The Morning Show actress showcased her agreement with Gomez a few days ago on beautiful life advice.
