The undisputed fashion queen of Friends, Rachel Green (played by Jennifer Aniston) rocked all the latest trends of the time, and even inspired some new ones. From her iconic haircut, dubbed “the Rachel”, to her signature miniskirt-and-stockings uniform, there wasn’t a fashion moment that Rachel Green couldn’t make her own. Flash forward nearly two decades after the series finale aired, and we’re still looking to Rachel for style advice. In honour of our favourite Central Perk waitress, we’ve assembled some of her most iconic outfits throughout the 10-year series.
