Is there any dress Jennifer Aniston doesn’t look good in?
The actress, 43, made a surprise appearance at the 40th AFI Life Achievement Awards honoring her Rumor Has It costar Shirley MacLaine in Culver City, Calif. Thursday. Aniston wore a floor-length white Burberry gown with a cut-out back and thigh-high slit; she completed her ensemble with Tabita Simmons sandals and an ivory Valentino clutch.
The actress joined the night’s honoree, 78, at the head table, where the two women sat beside Meryl Streep, 62, Melanie Griffith, 54, Julia Roberts, 44, and Sally Field, 65.
Despite being in the company of fellow A-listers, Aniston’s presence didn’t go unnoticed. “It took her a long time to even touch her salad because people kept coming up to the table to say hello and photographers kept coming by to take pictures,” an onlooker tells Us Weekly. Eventually, “Jen ended up eating her whole entree: grilled fish with shrimp and some mixed veggies.”
