For Friends fans, there’s nothing better than a trip down memory lane—especially when it comes out of nowhere. On a recent outing, Jennifer Aniston perfectly recreated a classic Rachel Green outfit and it immediately made fans feel nostalgic. No one knows for sure if it was an intentional nod to the show or just a happy accident—but if nothing else, it’s just another excuse to reminisce about the beloved show. (Or maybe an excuse to rewatch.)
Just yesterday, photos surfaced of Jennifer Aniston out with Pedro Pascal, and while this of course sparked tons of dating rumors—all we could focus on was how much Jennifer’s outfit channeled Rachel Green. Over the years, Jennifer and the whole Friends cast has payed homage to the show in more ways than one. Jennifer even went as far as modernizing the Rachel bob, and yet this Rachel-esque outfit was more than enough to send stans over the edge.
The outfit in question comes from one of the very last episodes of the show, “The Last One: Part 1.” In it, Rachel struggles to decide whether she should stay in New York or move to Paris. As tense as the moment is, Rachel’s preppy outfit—consisting of a navy sweater vest worn over a white T-shirt—was cemented as one of Rachel’s most iconic looks. So, when fans noticed Jennifer wearing an eerily-similar outfit on her outing with Pedro Pascal, they wasted no time pointing it out. “Is she wearing the Rachel’s going to Paris look?!?” said one commenter.
If Jennifer’s outfit proves anything, it’s that the Rachel Green aesthetic never goes out of style. Friends might’ve premiered over 30 years ago, but Rachel’s outfits are just as impactful now as they were back then. The “Rachel goes to Paris” look is super simple, but that’s part of the reason why it still holds up. Even today, Rachel’s classic ’90s style lives on Pinterest mood boards and TikTok styling videos—so it’s no wonder Jennifer Aniston is taking cues from her.
