Jennifer Aniston’s fans have never seen her on the Met Gala red carpet, the biggest night in fashion, despite receiving invitations time and time again. Now, Aniston has revealed the reason behind this in a candid and honest way.
“I was invited, but I’m not going. It stresses me out… getting ready… putting on the dress… I’m a jeans, sandals, and T-shirt kind of person,” Aniston, 55, said in a recent interview. “I love wearing nice clothes, but the idea of putting on a fancy dress, putting on makeup, having my hair done, and then sitting in a big room with our colleagues makes me nervous,” she added.
Anxiety about the spotlight and media pressure:
Aniston explained that it’s not just about the clothes and makeup, but the general psychological pressure of being at a big, closely watched event. “Even speaking in front of people makes me a little anxious, especially after years of having your words twisted and taken out of context. So I find myself censoring myself in a weird way. In the past, journalists were forever looking for something to publish, but over time, you realize that it doesn’t matter so much in the end,” she said.
In a related development, Aniston confirmed that she is busy preparing for the upcoming fourth season of her Emmy Award-winning series “The Morning Show” on Apple+, scheduled to premiere on September 17
A new relationship is interesting:
Aniston’s love life has also been evolving. Her relationship with hypnotherapist Jim Curtis was confirmed in July. Dating rumors first surfaced in June when the two were spotted cozying up at a restaurant inside the Ventana Big Sur Hotel in California. Weeks later, they were spotted together while riding in a car in Mallorca, Spain, over the Fourth of July holiday, accompanied by her longtime friends Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka.
People close to Aniston and Curtis said the relationship began as a friendship before developing into a casual dating relationship, after they were introduced through a mutual friend. They confirmed that Aniston had read Curtis’s book, was familiar with his work, and was deeply interested in the world of self-development and mental health.
Self-sufficiency and personal happiness:
People close to the couple confirmed that Aniston, despite her new relationship, is happy with her single life and is living a life of self-sufficiency: “Jen is happy with her current life, but she’s open to sharing it with someone else, as long as it feels right. She’s in a very good place right now, stable, content, and happy.”
More independent than ever:
Aniston, who was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and then to Justin Theroux from 2011 to 2018, now appears more comfortable and independent than ever, choosing social events that suit her personality and psychological comfort, away from the pressures of the media and the bright lights
