Jennifer Aniston Stuns in Daring Underwear and Traditional Jewels for Elle Cover Shoot

She's known for her California glow and girl-next-door charm — but Jennifer Aniston just flipped the script. The "Friends" icon's sizzling new Elle editorial isn't just a style statement — it's a bold, skin-baring revelation that has left fans gasping, cheering, and scratching their heads.

The 56-year-old actress graced the cover of Elle's Women in Hollywood issue with a look that was anything but subtle — and some are saying it's her most provocative moment yet.

Jennifer Aniston appeared in the shoot wearing only a long-sleeved gray Miu Miu top and embroidered duchesse briefs, worth a jaw-dropping $3,300. The glittering underwear from the high-end Italian label clung to her like a second skin — a look fans either hailed as fearless or flinched at in disbelief.

Another photo in the editorial showed Aniston mid-motion — slipping on a coat while rocking a swimsuit and oversized sunglasses, exuding the ease of a woman who's done this a thousand times, yet still stuns like it's her first.

For the official cover, stylist George Cortina dressed Aniston in a crisp Ralph Lauren white shirt and blue jeans, but the classic combo was given a Southwestern twist. Decked out in vintage silver and turquoise jewelry from designer Vicki Turbeville — including an eye-catching belt buckle and matching cuffs — the actress looked like a sun-kissed desert queen.

And of course, her famous tousled waves were courtesy of none other than longtime hair guru Chris McMillan, who's been behind her iconic looks since "The Rachel."

As the photos flooded social media, reactions came just as fast — and they weren't all glowing. While some were left breathless, others were baffled by the sultry tone of the shoot.

On Facebook, people didn't hold back. One person wrote, "Beautiful but the leg pose, really [sic]?" Another added, "I love her but very odd pose on the bath tub [sic]." A third stated, "The provocative shot was not needed."

Instagram brought a more adoring crowd — but questions still lingered. "SHE IS BREATHTAKING 😍😍," posted one netizen. Meanwhile, another commented, "50 don't look like it used to [sic]!"

A third shared appreciation for the styling, saying, "I loved the jewelry from Navajo Nation indigenous people 🩵." One comment praised her appearance, reading, "Finally! She looks more lije herself! So happy she has corrected whatever she got done before. This time they git it right! She looks amazing 👏👏👏🔥[sic]." Another follower asked, "Need to know if legs have self tanner or real tan [sic]."

While the fashion alone could’ve carried the story, Aniston gave fans another reason to buzz: a rare and tender acknowledgment of her partner, Jim Curtis — a transformational coach and hypnotist who has recently drawn his own following.

"Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does," Aniston told Elle. "He's quite extraordinary, and helps many, many people. He's very special, very normal, and very kind, and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity. It's a beautiful thing to commit your life to."

While her Elle feature gave fans a rare look inside her world — from daring fashion to a glowing tribute to her healer-turned-partner — it wasn't the first time she'd pulled back the curtain on her private life.

Just weeks earlier, Jennifer Aniston went Instagram official with Curtis on Sunday, November 2, sharing a heartfelt birthday tribute to him.

In the rare picture, Aniston could be seen wrapping her arms around her partner from behind as the two smiled warmly, their hands clasped together. The post delighted fans who were thrilled to see the actress open up about her relationship, with many heading to the comments to express their excitement.

One fan could barely contain their excitement, writing, "Perfect for each other! ❤️" Another shared their joy over the couple's appearance, "You guys look so happy❤️Happy Birthday." Someone else asked curiously, "Engagement ring there?"

The excitement only grew as one fan exploded with emotion, penning, "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG😍😍😍😍 FINALLY!!!!!! We have been waiting for this moment for a long time!!! 😫😫❤️" Others took a more sentimental tone, with one reflecting, "When you find the right one… ❤️."

A supporter couldn't help but praise Aniston, "You are GLOWING! you go girl, you have us cheering for you forever n always 🤍 [sic]." Someone else added a playful comparison, "Way cuter than either husband!!good for you Jennifer! [sic]"

Not everyone was entirely convinced, though, as one person quipped, "Let's hope this one sticks." Some followers seemed skeptical about the photo's authenticity, with one remarking, "The hands always gives [sic] away a photoshop 😂," while another person noted, "AI- look at the hands...haha." More people chimed in with a similar observation, "Looks like AI, or she has to [sic] many fingers 👉."

Despite a few negative remarks, Aniston appeared to be fully embracing her happiness. She captioned the post, which has already earned over 700,000 likes, "Happy birthday my love Cherished ❤️," a simple yet heartfelt message that reflected her joy.

The couple first ignited dating rumors in July this year, and Aniston has now confirmed they're officially together. Here's a look at their relationship journey so far — told through photos that capture each milestone.
