Jennifer Aniston stole the show at the 2025 ELLE Women in Hollywood Celebration on November 17 – even with her new boyfriend in tow. The star of The Morning Show, 56, attended the event, which was hosted by the women's magazine to honour actresses dominating the Hollywood film industry, and took to the red carpet alone as she sported a fabulous black evening gown. Jennifer's Ralph Lauren gown featured a slinky cut, as well as an understated halter neckline, and was covered in light-catching sparkles. 

The actress also wore a simple gold bracelet, sported a milky pink manicure, and wore her honey-blonde hair down in her signature blow-out. Her makeup look tied the look together perfectly as the bronzed star rocked a glossy pink lip and fluttery black lashes.

Jim joined Jennifer inside

The Friends star walked the carpet before quietly reuniting with her new beau, hypnotherapist and life coach Jim Curtis, who waited indoors so the excitement around their new relationship didn't overshadow her arrival. Also in attendance at the event were The Smashing Machine star Emily Blunt, Gilmore Girls actress Melissa McCarthy, and star of the upcoming Maserati: The Brothers, Jessica Alba.

Jennifer's budding romance

The outing comes after Jennifer went Instagram official with her new boyfriend on November 3. "Happy birthday, my love. Cherished," Jennifer penned, captioning a photo where she hugged Jim from behind. The pair were first spotted together on vacation in Mallorca over the Fourth of July weekend earlier this year. Jim has since accompanied Jennifer to the The Morning Show New York premiere at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City on September 9, but the pair were pictured separately. In contrast, at the ELLE event, Jim sat with Jennifer, as well as her former Just Go With It co-star, Adam Sandler, and his wife Jackie.
