Friday fashion fracas: Jennifer Aniston VS Angelina Jolie

By Andrea Petrou on March 12th, 2010 2 comments

Celebrities are well known for trying to out do each other in the style stakes, with many dressing up to the nines at events in a bid to look better than the rest. However, it’s not just what you look like on the red carpet but also your everyday style that makes you a fashion star.

So every Friday we’ll be grabbing two celebs and putting them into the fashion ring, where we’ll analyse each one, their style and what other people say about them to bring you a winner.

But we’ll also be asking for your help too. We want you to vote and let us know who think wins every week too.

Jennifer Aniston.
Jennifer Aniston is usually seen in casual outfits, think jeans and on-trend tops, unless she’s attending a film premier, where she’ll often opt for a classic black long dress by designer Valentino. Her “Rachel” haircut in Friends also caused many women to chop off their locks in a bid to copy the style in 1995.

In 2006 Jen won an online award for US People’s Magazine “The Best Dressed star in Hollywood,” where she beat off competition from Halle Berry, with Jessica Alba as a result of her laid back style of jeans and T-shirts and blazers. Many people also voted her their favourite as they felt she was one person they could dress like.


Worst outfit.

Her black dress complete with a slit and plunging neckline at this year’s Golden Globes, was compared by some critics to a frock worn by Jen’s ex husband’s wife Angelina Jolie. We hope it was more a coincidence than a copycat look. Despite her hair been a much talked about subject Jen also showed that even the best of us can have a bad hair day turning up to the Emmy Awards in 1999 with wild-child faux dreads.

What others say: Fashion magazine NZGirl says: “Jennifer’s fashion style is very understated – you’ll never spot her in a fluorescent pink halter-top. She prefers natural colours and fabrics and loves wearing comfortable clothes like jeans, long skirts and tank tops.”

Angelina Jolie

Angelina may have stolen Jennifer’s man but can she steal her style crown too? We can’t deny Ange is one of the most gorgeous women to have graced our screens over the past few decades and let’s face it not many men will disagree. However her style is often somewhat pickled. Unlike Jen, Ange doesn’t do classic on an everyday scale. It’s usually black, gothic and in the past, before the children, very revealing. You’re more likely to catch her in a skirt or figure hugging dress rather than jeans. And her past red carpet style has been the same. She turned up to the Oscars twice in a row wearing gothic black, and of course that black dress with the split, which Jen, was claimed to have copied. However over recently her red carpet style has changed and we’ve seen her looking stunning in sparkles and delicate designs. One outfit that really sticks out is the canary yellow Ungaro couture frock she wore for the 2007 premiere of Ocean’s Thirteen.

Worst outfit

Before we begin here, we think it’s only fair to mention Ange’s worst fashion moment, which in our opinion was getting sacked as the face of fashion brand St Johns. The actress who had fronted campaigns for the company since 2005 was sacked late last year after bosses claimed she was too hard to work with. So has she made any mistakes on the red carpet. Many. Now we think it may be a little bit unfair to go right back but we can’t forget her first Oscar appearance when she was aged ten (1986) and chose to walk the red carpet in what looked like a mini bridesmaid dress. Her Elvira looking dress at the 2000 Oscars, complete with Ange’s black hair was also not a fashion experience we care to remember.

What others say: Vogue.com said: “Since her powerful pairing with Brad Pitt in 2005, Jolie has become the highest-earning actress in the world. Her style has gradually become more glamour-oriented while her role as a mother-of-six has seen it soften. Red carpet outfits include gowns from Versace, Armani Privé and Max Azria.”

Our verdict?
We have to admit, it was a bit of a tough one. After all Jen is classically stylish, while Ange wows on the red carpet. But we’ve decided that the celeb that wins this Friday’s fight is Jen. Her classic styles make us all feel as though we can look as good as a celeb and makes us feel as though walking around in jeans and blazers, during the day are perfectly fine. Ange, we love your leather looks, but a trip shopping in those may leave us feeling like Ross in that episode of Friends. We need the talc just thinking about it.
