Margaritas and a bright future ahead of Jennifer Aniston.
Laying on the beautiful leather Barcelona Day Bed by German-American architect Mies van der Rohe in a stunning striped dress, JENNIFER ANISTON, InStyle’s September cover star, chats about what the future holds for her while looking back on the 27 years after the success of Friends.

The pandemic stopped the world for every single one of us. It was a time to slow down and think about what's truly necessary for our lives. Jen is no different — social media has a fast-paced impact on everyone’s life.
Against all odds, the actress managed to remain centered, maintaining a close group of friends that she’s had since moving from New York to Los Angeles in the '80s.

“[...] meeting creative women who are not all in this business was my touchstone. My social arena wasn't in this [industry].”
Jen spent all this time focusing on herself, her mental health, and projects that made her happy — she filmed the second season of The Morning Show during COVID’s peak, which premieres September 17 and, of course, the Friends reunion special.
How did she remain anchored through all this, we may ask ourselves. The answer? Therapy, good sleep, and a few margaritas and dry martinis. And no, she didn’t go on the dating app Raya (sorry, y’all). The whole situation ended up being a good laugh for the actress, though.
