Y'know that song that goes something along the lines of 'take my breath away' (yes, I am singing, too), well, that anthem seems very appropriate right now seeing as superstar Friends actor, Jennifer Aniston just posed *completely* topless on Instagram. And to top it all off (see what I did there), she wears XXL hair extensions as a bra – truly, it's a look. Her three-decade-long reign, clearly, still holds supreme.
In the IG pictures that have been posted in four parts, we see Jen in a variety of different outfits, including a strapless number and Dior trouser combo, a red swimsuit and matching leather jacket and even a teeny-tiny micro Chanel bra. However, our favourite of all has to be the snap debuting her suuuper long blonde locks.
Now, if I'm not mistaken, seeing that for as long as we can remember, the star has had a chest-length cut, I'd go as far as to say that this is the lengthiest her hair has ever been. Bold statement, I know.
Oh, and just to clarify we like to call this look the ✨hair bra✨ seeing as her extensions double as the only cover-up. Clever, huh?
The photo shoot comes to us in light of Jennifer's recent interview with Allure Magazine, where she opened up about her fertility struggles and the unfair narrative of her portrayed in the media. Speaking of the ending of her marriage, Jen says the media speculations were "absolute lies".
Confirming our thoughts that this is a shoot to behold, fans took to the comments section on all four pics to complement Jen and her new look:
"this woman takes my breath away"
"I’m OBSESSED with this shoot!!!! 😍😍🔥🔥"
"IM NOT OKAYYYYY 😭"
"Wowowowowo"
"❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I love her long hair"
"WHAT A GODDESS!!! Okay I’m breathless 😮💨😮💨❤️❤️"
"THIS WOMAN 🔥"
"WOW 😍"
I suppose if Jen can pull off the hair bra, perhaps I'll give it a go myself. Gahh, who am I kidding – I think I'll just stick to my M&S collection...
