Some people online were not happy with the dress Jennifer Aniston wore to the awards event, while others loved it.
At the 2024 Emmys on Sunday, September 15, Jennifer Aniston, 55, made a stunning appearance on the red carpet in a strapless dress. The “Morning Show” star, who briefly mentioned working with her co-star Reese Witherspoon at the Emmys, received a lot of reactions online about her outfit.
Aniston wore a beautiful silver gown by the famous designer Oscar de la Renta. The strapless dress was adorned with intricate beadwork that matched perfectly with her jewelry.
To add even more elegance, Aniston wore a stunning diamond and platinum ring, bracelet, and vintage earrings from Tiffany & Co. She kept her blonde and dark-colored hair loose.
Several pop culture websites posted eye-catching photos and videos of Aniston striking poses on the red carpet. Fans and critics online had strong reactions to the coverage of her appearance.
Some people were not impressed with her outfit and shared their thoughts online. One person on Facebook commented, “She has worn this look so many times,” while another said, “It doesn’t fit well at the waist. She always goes for the same style. .”
Another person echoed similar thoughts, writing, “Omg, change your look; it’s always the same…” Agreeing with this view, another commenter said, “She’s beautiful, but it’s always the same!” Meanwhile, a Facebook user simply stated, “Overrated!”
While some believe Aniston’s latest look is repetitive, Page Six reports that at the 2024 SAG Awards, she chose a different route with a sparkling silver gown from Celine.
Before this year’s Emmys and the SAG Awards, Aniston usually favored a little black dress (LBD) for red carpets. However, she broke from her usual style when she wore a red Reformation dress, priced under $300, to an Emmy Awards pre-show event earlier in 2024.
Despite the criticism Aniston faced for her 2024 Emmys look, many people praised her appearance as well. The official Instagram account for the Emmys/Television Academy celebrated her style with a post that featured photos of the actress and the caption, “She is beauty she is grace – #JenniferAniston
“She looks absolutely stunning!!” exclaimed a fan on Facebook. Another admirer praised her by saying, “Perfect always yet appears effortless and always classy. Admirable especially when others are showing their underwear. She really stands out.”
Their series, “The Morning Show,” was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series. While on the red carpet, Jennifer Aniston chatted briefly with E! about her working relationship with Reese Witherspoon.
She shared, “We’ve grown up together. We were kids together and now we’re grown-ups together… I couldn’t ask for a better partner.”

When Maria planned a surprise party for her husband’s 40th birthday, she didn’t expect to find strangers walking through the door instead of him. The shocking mix-up, involving an unexpected Airbnb booking, turned into an unforgettable night filled with laughter and unexpected guests.

My husband’s 40th birthday was coming up, and I wanted to throw him a surprise party. To prepare for it, I told him I would be out of town on his birthday. We agreed to celebrate on another day instead.
On the evening before the big day, I pretended to pack my bags and leave for the airport. In reality, I stayed overnight at my friend Karen’s house.

“Are you sure this will work?” Karen asked, raising an eyebrow as I stuffed clothes into my suitcase.
“Absolutely,” I replied. “Tom thinks I’m going to visit my sister.”
Karen chuckled. “You’re a sneaky one, Maria.”

The next day, I got up early to make sure everything was perfect. Tom always came home from work around 6 pm, so I invited all of his friends and family over at 5. That way, we’d have time to decorate before he arrived.
By 4:45, people started arriving. His brother, Jim, was first.
“Hey, Maria! Need any help?” Jim asked, carrying a box of decorations.

“Sure, Jim. Can you start hanging these streamers?” I handed him a bundle of blue and gold streamers.
Next came Tom’s best friend, Dave, with his wife, Lisa.
“Wow, you’ve really outdone yourself, Maria,” Lisa said, admiring the decorations.

“Thanks, Lisa! Can you guys help with the balloons?” I handed them a bag of balloons.
Everyone pitched in. By 5:30, the living room looked amazing. Blue and gold streamers hung from the ceiling, and balloons were everywhere. A big banner that read “Happy 40th, Tom!” stretched across the wall.

At 5:45 p.m., I gathered everyone in the kitchen.
“Okay, everyone, Tom will be here soon. Let’s turn off the lights and hide,” I said, feeling the excitement build.
We all found spots behind the kitchen counter and other hiding places. My heart was racing as we waited in the dark. I held my breath when I heard the key turn in the lock.

The door opened, and I heard footsteps. But then I heard a woman’s voice.
“Do you think he’ll like it?” the voice said.
My heart dropped. Who was she? For a moment, I thought Tom was cheating on me.
The lights flicked on, and the whole room gasped.

Standing in the doorway was a young couple, looking just as shocked as we were. The woman had a suitcase in her hand, and the man was holding a set of keys.
“Who are you?” I blurted out, stepping forward.
The woman’s eyes widened. “Who are we? Who are you?” she exclaimed.

Jim stepped out from behind the counter. “We’re here for a surprise party. Who are you guys?”
The man looked around, bewildered. “We rented this house on Airbnb. We were supposed to stay here for a few days.”
I felt the color drain from my face. “Airbnb? This is our house!”

Dave scratched his head. “Tom must have listed it after Maria said she was going out of town.”
The woman looked at me sympathetically. “Oh my gosh, we had no idea. We’re so sorry. We’ll leave right away.”
“No, no, it’s okay,” I said quickly, trying to keep the situation calm. “Let’s just figure this out.”

The young couple, still looking confused, stepped inside and closed the door. Everyone was murmuring, trying to piece together what was happening.
Karen came over to me. “Maria, what’s going on?”
“I have no idea,” I whispered back. “Tom must have put the house on Airbnb when I told him I’d be out of town.”

Tom’s sister, Susan, walked up to the couple. “Hey, why don’t we all sit down and talk this through?”
We all moved to the living room, the decorations and party supplies now feeling strangely out of place. The young couple introduced themselves as Jake and Emily.
“We’re really sorry about this,” Jake said. “We thought the house was empty.”

Emily nodded. “Yeah, we didn’t mean to crash your party.”
I forced a smile. “It’s not your fault. This is just a big misunderstanding.”
I pulled out my phone and called Tom. He answered on the second ring.
“Hey, honey! I thought you’d be on your flight by now,” he said cheerfully.

“Tom,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady, “did you list our house on Airbnb?”
There was a pause. “Uh, yeah. I figured since you were going to be out of town, we could make a little extra money.”
I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. “Tom, I’m not out of town. I was planning a surprise party for you. And now we’ve got a house full of guests and a couple who thought they rented our place.”

Tom’s silence was palpable. “Oh no, Maria, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know.”
I looked at Jake and Emily, who were sitting awkwardly on the couch. “What do we do now?”
Tom sighed. “I’m on my way home. We’ll sort this out.”
I hung up and turned to everyone. “Tom’s coming home. We’ll figure this out when he gets here.”

Jake stood up. “We can find another place to stay. We don’t want to ruin your party.”
Lisa shook her head. “No, stay. We’ve got plenty of food and drinks. Join us.”
Emily smiled hesitantly. “Are you sure?”

“Absolutely,” I said. “The more, the merrier.”
Tom arrived about fifteen minutes later, looking sheepish. He walked in and immediately apologized to everyone.
“I’m really sorry about this,” he said. “I was just trying to save up some money for a vacation for Maria and me.”

Susan laughed. “Well, you certainly surprised us, Tom.”
Jake and Emily ended up staying, and the party went on. They were great sports about the whole situation, and soon everyone was laughing and having a good time.

“Cheers to unexpected guests and surprise parties,” Dave toasted, raising his glass.
“Cheers!” we all echoed, clinking our glasses together.

As the night went on, I couldn’t help but smile. Despite the chaos, it turned out to be a night we would never forget. And as for the vacation, Tom and I would definitely be taking one, with a story to tell for years to come.
