Jennifer Aniston took clothing home from the set of ‘Friends’ for her personal use, even if her character never wore it.
Jennifer Aniston took home “a lot” of costumes from ‘Friends’ – even outfits she didn’t wear herself.
The 55-year-old actress’ co-star Courteney Cox – who played Monica Geller in the comedy series – didn’t take home many souvenirs from the set of the show but her friend did and still wears the garments when out and about now.
Speaking on the ‘Fashion Neurosis’ podcast, Courteney said: “As a matter of fact, I could have kept anything on [‘Friends’] that I wanted, and I didn’t…
“[Jennifer] took a lot of Monica’s dresses, and she’ll say, ‘Oh yeah, I used to wear this on ‘Friends’.’
“And I mean, it looks great on her. She has a great figure and she’s adorable. But I’m like, ‘Why would you take this floral little prairie dress from Friends?’ But she holds on to everything.”
It was also clarified during the podcast that the stars were allowed to keep what clothing they wanted, so they were not breaking any rules.
And Courteney finds it “really funny” that Jennifer raided her character’s wardrobe because the one time she tried to copy her friend’s style, things went wrong.
She said: “I remember I was late to the game, but Jennifer had this outfit on. She was wearing a really cool jacket with a tank top and a pair of jeans. I just thought, ‘God, she looks great.’ The shoulder pads are really sharp. So I thought, ‘You know what, I’m going to get that jacket.’
“Everybody had had that jacket, everybody had worn it. Jennifer was maybe early on, of course, but by the time I got it, it wasn’t as cool anymore. And I think even asked Mary, my stylist, she’s like, ‘Yeah, that’s kind of not what people are doing.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God, this jacket was thousands of dollars.’ “
The ‘Scream’ actress ended up only wearing the jacket once before getting rid of it.
She said: “I took the shoulder pads out, or I cut them way down. Now, you can’t resell it anymore. I love to do this. Whether I give it to charity or keep the money, I’m not going to lie. I like selling s*** because I don’t want to keep it. I don’t know why. I wore it one time, but I couldn’t sell it because I took the shoulder pads out. Now, it’d probably be a cool jacket again.”
Asked what happened to it, she said: “I don’t know, but I gave it away.”
