What Would Friends’ Rachel Green Wear in 2024? We tried to imagine it

When the final episode of David Crane and Marta Kauffman's acclaimed Friends aired in 2004, many thought the show's relevance would end with the farewell of Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey. But twenty years later, the series still holds its power. From Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer's reunion ''The One Where They All Got Back Together'' in 2021 to several Central Perk café opening worldwide, the series has left various easter eggs in pop culture.

Rachel Green's look then and now

And if there's one thing that doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon, it's Friends fashion. In particular, Rachel Green's wardrobe, played by actress Jennifer Aniston, has been considered the epitome of 1990s fashion. From being introduced as a runaway bride to becoming a fashion executive legend with works seen at Ralph Lauren, for instance, Rachel's impact has been certain – now, with frequent videos on TikTok imitating her looks and Instagram accounts dedicated to her outfits. But this is no longer 1994 to 2004. Not only has the world changed since then, but so has fashion. With outfits now covered in ribbons, the triumph of method dressing, and the rise of increasingly niche aesthetics, would Rachel Green's sleek style have survived? Perhaps. It was in 2022, after all, that minimalist styles like ''Quiet Luxury'' appeared in mainstream media. And this year, many '90s trends are coming back stronger than ever, whether it's the cargo pants seen on singer Rihanna and Danielle Balbuena, aka 070 Shake,  the graphic tees seen on model Bella Hadid, or the rise of corporate fashion, best known as ''Office Siren.'' The bigger question on fashionistas' minds, however, is not whether Friends' character elegance would remain. Rather, what would Rachel Green be wearing in 2024?

Rachel Green, today, would be even more iconic

Dubbed a chic yet cool fashion icon if she existed in 2024, and with people still looking at her past looks and calling her the ultimate '90s muse, Rachel Green's sartorial influence wouldn't decrease but rather thrive.
