We’ve all heard of the 2015 gold or blue dress conundrum , but before the viral phenomenon, there was another, and it came in the form of a maybe blue, maybe green dress in the popular sitcom Friends . In season three, Jennifer Aniston ’s character Rachel Green wore a sweetheart-neckline dress that became a talking point not because of how flattering it looked on the actress, 55, but because no one could agree on its colour . The debate began when the episode titled, The One Where No One’s Ready, aired and followed Ross, played by David Schwimmer , rush to get the Friends crew dressed for a black-tie benefit dinner at his work.
Jennifer’s character can be seen walking out of her room in a dress that appears blue, but some fans believe it is green. Now, on the sitcom’s 30th anniversary , the truth has been revealed. Taking to Instagram, Jennifer shared two stills from the episode side by side, showing where the confusion came from.
In one HD image, the dress looks mint green, while in the other image, which is in 4K, it looks baby blue. ‘For the record’, she wrote above the pictures, ‘the dress was mint green.’ Friends, which ran between 1994 and 2004 and featured a core cast of Jennifer, the late Matthew Perry , Courteney Cox , Lisa Kudrow , and Matt LeBlanc , became a source of style inspiration for many, with Jennifer’s character becoming a sort of style icon.
In 2020, she was declared her the ultimate fashion muse and TV’s number-one style icon thanks.
