Jennifer Aniston's Face-Framing Layers Are 2025's Version of 'The Rachel'
Jennifer Aniston revived her iconic Friends hairdo with a modern twist.
She wore a curve cut in her latest Instagram video.
Aniston popularized a choppy layered bob called "The Rachel" in the '90s.Jennifer Aniston gave "The Rachel" a modern update on Sunday as she celebrated the launch of her hair care brand LolaVie's latest release.
"Our Dry Shampoo just dropped 🩶 … and IT'S SO GOOD! I hope you love too! 🥰 @lolavie," Aniston wrote in the caption of her latest Instagram post.
In the clip, the Friends star dons a trendy curve cut, a longer version of her iconic '90s-era lob.
'The curve cut, also known as the C-cut, is a layered haircut where the shortest layers frame the face, and the remaining layers become longer as they reach the back of the hair, which, in turn, creates a curve that resembles a C-shape,' hairstylist Annagjid 'Kee' Taylor told InStyle in 2023.
At its core, 'The Rachel' is all about flippy sections styled round, a softer approach for severe layers. The contemporary curve cut (which is typically a touch longer than its prototype) has found fans in tastemakers like Hailey Bieber, Laura Harrier, and Lucy Hale.
The cut is so flattering because it can work on so many hair types and can really frame the face to accentuate your facial features,' Taylor said.
Earlier this year, Aniston celebrated her 56th birthday with a never-before-seen throwback photo.
In the snapshot, the young star sassily posed with her head tilted to the side, as she fixed her hair with one hand and wore a patterned skirt and dark-colored tank top. And while her hair at the time wasn't exactly "The Rachel" cut everyone knows and loves today, Aniston still was sporting a head full of layered locks complete with bangs.
"Thank you for all the beautiful birthday wishes! This kid is feeling very grateful and very loved," Aniston wrote alongside the black-and-white photo on Instagram.

Carole Radziwill Makes Surprise Return to Bravo After 7 Year Absence — and Shares Hug with Andy Cohen: 'So Crazy'
The former 'Real Housewives of New York City' star reunited publicly with her former boss, after years of not speakingNEED TO KNOW Carole Radziwill made a surprise return to Bravo on Aug. 4 during an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen The former RHONY star hugged Andy Cohen and joked about being back in the Clubhouse for the first time in seven years Radziwill promoted her new CNN documentary American Prince: JFK Jr. about her cousin John F. Kennedy Jr., airing Aug. 9And just like that, Bravo's very own Carrie Bradshaw is back. Carole Radziwill made a surprise return to the network on Monday, Aug. 4, in an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. It's the first time the What Remains author has been on the network since her departure from The Real Housewives of New York City seven years ago. She famously had a falling out with executive producer Andy Cohen, though as PEOPLE exclusively revealed in November 2024, the two had squashed the beef. Certainly that's what viewers saw on his late night show. Entering into Cohen's Clubhouse after a game of 'Mystery Housewife Caller,' Radziwill greeted her former boss with a big grin and an enthusiastic hug. "It's Carole Radziwill!" Cohen told guests Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, giving her a round of applause. "Making a triumphant return! Good to see you!" Radziwill, for her part, took a moment to get used to her surroundings. "This is so crazy, by the way, to be here," she admitted, looking around. "I know, it's been a minute! Radzi, it's been a minute!" Cohen told her, using his nickname for her. Yang and Rogers then showered Radziwill with praise. "We're honored to be here for you coming back," Rogers said. "One of the things that made me fall in love with Housewives. I remember, season 7, when you went on the vacation with Dorinda [Medley] and you were both connecting over your [dead husbands], that was really when I was first truly moved by a Housewives show. I just, I love you on the show." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Before the series ended, Radziwill plugged her upcoming appearance on CNN's upcoming three-part documentary American Prince about her cousin, John F. Kennedy, Jr. It airs Aug. 9. "It's nice because I don't participate in a lot of that, but I had a chance to say something nice about John and George [magazine]," she said. "I'm probably the only woman in the world who's tired of seeing John without a shirt on, so I get to talk about what really mattered to him and his passion and his magazine and of course, Carolyn [Bessette-Kennedy]." Cohen and Radziwill were friends before she joined the cast of RHONY in season 5, which aired in 2012. The two appeared to be friendly during her years on the show, but things between them became fractured as her friendship with Bethenny Frankel fell apart. For years, the two only communicated while trading jabs in the press and on social media. But at Bravo Fan Fest 2024 in November, Cohen told PEOPLE that he and Radziwill had "reconnected" after six years of not speaking. "It feels great," the 57-year-old father of two said at the time. "Carole and I knew each other for years, before she was ever on the Housewives — for many years. I think I've known her more outside of the Housewives than I have in the Housewives. So it was definitely good to reconnect." Speaking with PEOPLE soon thereafter, Radziwill, 61, said she was glad she and Cohen had finally talked. "We both came to understand that our disagreements had everything to do with the high-pressure nature of the show and very little to do with our friendship, which preceded it," she said. "Andy and I are very much on the same page now, and I'm happy about that." Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen airs Sunday-Thursday evenings on Bravo. Read the original article on People

Putin's ‘secret daughter' laments father who killed ‘millions' and ‘destroyed' her life as she pivots to support Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin's alleged secret daughter spoke out against her father in a cryptic post condemning the man who 'destroyed' her and 'took millions of lives.' Elizaveta Krivonogikh, a 22-year-old art school graduate living in Paris who is believed to Putin's youngest daughter, shared the messages on her private Telegram, in line with her increasing openness on Instagram as she's started to share more images of herself. 4 22-year-old Elizaveta Krivonogoikh is supposedly Vladimir Putin's secret love child. social media Advertisement 'It's liberating to be able to show my face to the world again,' she wrote, Bild reported. 'It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life,' she added. The Telegram chat, dubbed 'Art of Luiza,' references her work pseudonym Luiza Rozova. Advertisement Krivonogikh didn't explicitly name Putin in either post, but has also never shot down the popular theories surrounding her true parentage. The budding artist was born in 2003 after a suspected affair between Putin and her mother, Svetlana, the president's then-housekeeper. 4 Putin has never confirmed the rumored love child. POOL/AFP via Getty Images The bombshell was first revealed after a 2020 investigation by Russian media outlet Proekt, citing her 'phenomenal resemblance' to Putin. He isn't listed on her birth certificate, but 'Vladimirovna' was included, translating to 'daughter of Vladimir.' Advertisement In 2021, slain journalist and Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny exposed Krivonogikh's Instagram, which highlighted her life of luxury and her family's staggering wealth that many have attributed to their connection with the disgraced Russian president. 4 Krivonogikh returned to social media and slammed her rumored father. Instagram / luizaroz__ While Krivonogikh originally celebrated life in the spotlight, she retreated after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2021 and her Instagram was suddenly shut down. She's since returned, but was more reserved at first, hiding her face in many photos. She's now seemingly changed her tune — and swapped sides on the devastating war after previously mourning her inability to 'make an extra lap around my beloved St. Petersburg.' Advertisement Krivonogikh has since denounced her previous Gucci-encrusted lifestyle of obscene wealth and speaks openly against her supposed father's massacre in Ukraine while working in a Parisian art gallery specializing in anti-war works. 4 Krivonogikh also denounced Putin's invasion of Ukraine. AP Krivonogikh also adopted an extra pseudonym, Elizaveta Rudnova, inspired by Putin's late ally Oleg Rudnov — a cheeky stab at her elusive parentage. Still, critics of Putin haven't quite bought her reshaped image and insist that she shouldn't be working in a space where she could be interacting with Ukrainians, regardless of her stance. 'Am I really responsible for the activities of my family, who can't even hear me?' Krivonogikh wrote. Putin is also rumored to share two secret sons, a 10-year-old and a 6-year-old, with his former gymnast fling and Olympic gold medalist Alina Kabaeva.

Celebrity chef Curtis Duffy tells story of his trauma, triumphs in memoir
For 25 years, chef Curtis Duffy has been making his mark on the Chicago food scene — earning James Beard Awards, Michelin stars, and celebrity status. Now, for the first time, Duffy is telling his story in his own words — from a traumatic childhood to the top of the culinary world. Duffy's memoir, "Fireproof: Memoir of a Chef," is out on Tuesday. "For me, it's time. It's always about the time, right?" Duffy said. "You can never cheat time. Time allows us to hone our skill, hone everything that we do." Duffy has spent the last 35 years honing his craft. "I've always felt that you have a responsibility to yourself to be great," said Duffy, "and no one else is going to give that to you. No one else is going to force you to do that." It was that mindset that has helped propel Duffy from a childhood defined by chaos in small-town Ohio to becoming one of America's best chefs. He has risen through the ranks of Chicago's most critically acclaimed restaurant — Charlie Trotter's, Alinea, and Avenues — to leading his own, Grace, formerly at 652 W. Randolph St., and now, Ever at 1340 W. Fulton St. The story is spelled out in "Fireproof," written with friend Jeremy Wagner. "It gave me the opportunity to kind of just tell those stories even though I've told them before. But I actually have a place to put them away," Duffy said. "Like now, I feel like I don't have to carry them with me. I have a place to just put it on the shelf. If I want to ever dive back in, it's right there." It is clear from page one that Duffy has had a lot to carry. His parents died by murder-suicide when he was 19 years old. In his memoir, Duffy details the abuse he suffered as a child — but is careful to not paint his father as a monster. "What he was taught is what he was teaching us. He didn't know any better, you know?" said Duffy. "And for me, it was so important to kind of break that cycle as I became a father." How Duffy was able to break that cycle of poverty and abuse started with an understanding, even as a child, that there had to be something else out there. "I had dreamt, like, there's got to more than this. Like I had not seen the world, of course — I was 13 years old — but I knew there was more out there," said Duffy. "When you see a glimpse of light, you chase it. And that's what I did." That light appeared in the form of one incredible middle school teacher and an introduction to cooking. "What I felt at the time was love, you know? It was just pure positivity, and it was so needed at the time," Duffy said. "So I just embraced it so much." When Duffy found cooking, more positive influences found him. But as he poured himself into restaurant work, his father's life was falling apart. "So now at this point, everybody's out of the house — my brother, my sister, my mom, me. And I felt very sympathetic," Duffy said. "I felt very sad… because here he is all alone now, and this is his life — and he couldn't deal with it." Maybe the most surprising twist in Duffy's story is a letter his father wrote him shortly before Duffy's father took his own estranged wife hostage, killed her, and then killed himself. "Curt," it reads, "this is Dad. You're a very special young man and I wish I could tell you how proud of you I am…. You'll be a great chef, no doubt in my mind, you'll be one of the best in the world someday…. Please be a better person than I was. I know you can." Duffy said it haunts him to this day that his father wrote that letter, and there was so much love and wisdom within it. He has to reconcile that person with the person his father had been for most of his childhood. "Well, I often think about, you know, it would have been nice to have that through my life, and that affirmation through my childhood — and the belief and the vision that he sees, and he clearly writes there, verbalized to me as a child, you know? I mean, that letter is pure love," said Duffy, "and, you know, we didn't see that growing up. Very rarely, we got to see the tender, soft side of my father through that. That's why that letter is so special to me." The letter fueled Duffy to keep pushing forward and build a career in Chicago. His ascent was swift, but not without its setbacks — the biggest of which happened in 2017, after a bad investor deal prompted the abrupt and painful closure of his three-Michelin-star masterpiece, Grace. "I try to look at it from a positive side, because I learned a lot from that failure. You know, I learned a lot — and it made me a better chef, a better person, a better leader, a better businessman, a better entrepreneur to now have Ever, After, and The Canvas," said Duffy. "That was a win for me. Whether it was a loss or not, that was a win — because I'm in a much better place than I was before." At 50 years old, Duffy is the happiest he's ever been — thanks in large part to meeting the love of his life, Jennifer. "It is the best time of my life, like the last 10 years. And it's all a hundred percent because of her, and what she brings to the table every single day, you know?" Duffy said. "She makes me a better person." And "better" is what Duffy is chasing every day at his two-Michelin-star restaurant, Ever. "We're just as hungry as we were when we were chasing then," said Duffy, "and I will continue to do what I got to do every day until I get that third star. It's there." Duffy believes it is just a matter of time.
