Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux got pap’d as they were vacationing in the Bahamas, and the photos made everyone sit up and wonder “Damn, is Jennifer Aniston pregnant?” To be fair to those speculating, Jennifer did look like she had a particularly big meal and/or a baby in that belly. But as soon as speculation began, Jennifer’s rep denied it flat-out. That didn’t stop In Touch Weekly from running those photos on their cover this week. It also didn’t stop In Touch from running a follow-up story online in which unnamed doctors INSIST that Jennifer is totally pregnant. So which is it? Bumpspiracy or food baby? Would Aniston’s rep lie to everyone? I think we all know the answer to that, but I don’t think she’s knocked up right now.
Anyway, these are some photos of Aniston out and about in NYC on Thursday and as you can see, she’s flashing a sliver of flat, toned stomach. No bumpspiracy! Jennifer might be hanging out in New York right now because she’s launching her third fragrance, Near Dusk. I wish she had called it “Dusk Adjacent.” Just because that would be a great name for a perfume. Jennifer spoke to Glamour UK about Dusk Adjacent and more – you can read the piece here and here are some highlights:
She’s always loved making her own perfume: “I’ve always love fragrance and have been making my own for a long time by mixing oils and lotions. I love the process of doing that so when I was approached to create Near Dusk, I was so excited and it definitely felt like a very organic decision.”
Don’t wear too much perfume: “The main thing is never having the perfume wear you. Don’t pick something you feel is too strong for you and don’t wear too much. Some people douse themselves in it – you want to wear a perfume and create moments with it, rather than, you know, walk into an elevator and gag from overload. Just wear it for yourself, a little behind the ear, nothing overpowering.
Beauty advice to her younger self: “I always think, ‘why didn’t someone make me wear sunscreen?’ Again, it comes back to being young and thinking I was invincible – I thought that dewy, tanned skin would just stay beautiful but you have to protect it. I understand it’s not easy, it’s hard to keep remembering and reapplying but it’s so worth it.”
Three items every woman should have in her closet: “A great black blazer, a great pair of jeans and a beautiful wedge shoe. There’s always a scarf, but again, that’s a fourth!”
My closet is a failure because I don’t have a black blazer or a pair of wedges. Or a scarf, come to think of it. I’m just not a scarf person – if I think I’m going to be cold, I’ll bring a light jacket or a cardigan, but never a scarf. Besides, that’s really not a problem for me since I always run hot. I’m one of those people in a light t-shirt in 50 degree weather. As for her rules for perfume… God, when I was a lot younger, I used to douse myself in perfume. I’m embarrassed about that now. Nowadays, I do try to do the less-is-more thing. You want people to smell something nice as you walk by, but you don’t want your perfume to linger in a closed space.

Hello, Celebitches, after a long absence!
I agree with this, all you need is a little behind the ear and on the wrist.
I use spray perfume and follow the advice I picked up from Seventeen decades ago — spray a little cloud in front of me and walk through it. I think it works, I’ve had no complaints.
when my friend and I were wearing Drakkar Noir back in high school (*hangs head in shame*), that’s what WE did!
I even used the Drakkar shampoo…I know it was a men’s cologne but we LOVED it so much!
pulse points! 🙂
sometimes I’ll do back of the knee, instead of the wrist. depends on the outfit.
Oh yeah, how could I forget, that was boilerplate Seventeen advice too! Not to mention useful gems like “in the summer, chill your perfume in the fridge before applying for a nice cool breeze of fragrance.” 🙂
I was just about to say “pulse points” (spray or dab) – it’s your hottest areas so the perfume is made the most of.
Also a spray (from a distance) onto your hairbrush before you brush creates a subtle miasma of scent around your head – excellent for the leaning into your fella’s shoulder moments (Taylor Swift take note).
Miasma?
@lambda yeah, wrong word as that’s more lingeringly noxious. I was going for more of a pleasant and wafty vapour. Oops.
True, nothing worse than entering an elevator with someone who reeks of perfume or cologne. Gag.
Oh but there is something worse,
much worse. Walking into a cloud
Of very smelly sweat! Makes me
Want to puke everytime. 😞
I will take the sweat over the perfume any day. Sweat does not give me blinding (literally) migraines, swell my throat, make my lips just burn, cause me to vomit uncontrollably over a swollen tongue. I hate all perfumes, colognes, after shaves, some of the shampoos out there are just killer, etc. Even the products that claim to be unscented do not live up to their claims. Perfume keeps me out of theatres, museums, sporting events or anything that takes place indoors. Grocery shopping is a special bi-weekly hell. There is always someone, always, with way too much perfume on. Not to mention, teenage boys and their Axe. I hope there is a special place in hell for whoever invented Axe.
@ lady D
I’m so sorry for you. I understand all
The perfumes etc make your life a
living hell and I am so sorry for you.
I shall keep this in mind when dressing.
I also get migraines from people wearing perfume. I used to live in Brooklyn and on the subway I could never understand the inconsideration of people that know they’re going to be in a confined space with others wearing so much perfume or cologne. Sometimes I would switch train cars, but there were times that I’ve gotten off the train one stop after getting and waited for the next train to get away from the perfume smell.
Lady D et all: I am going to go off on perfume wearers. I get physically ill also when someone wears cologne or perfume. It all started many years ago when a woman in our office wore WAY too much perfume and I’ve been sensitive to it ever since. I’ve had to give away all my perfumes, many of them which I loved and some of which were quite expensive. I’ve had to leave theaters because I was sitting next to someone with too much perfume or cologne, and you know how costly theater tickets are (NYC). PLEASE PLEASE, PLEASE everyone be sensitive to those of us who actually get physically ill from this. I agree with Lady D. I’ll take body odor over perfumes ANY day. End of rant….
*Please* look up mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). I have it (as do several family members – it seems there’s a genetic component), and ‘extreme’ reactions to perfume, etc can be part of it. @ Laurie: If you live in the NYC area, there is a fantastic allergist named Dr. Anne Maitland who is an expert on mast cell disorders (most docs haven’t even heard of them).
Too much perfume or Cologne gives me an asthma attack. Have to pull out my inhaler and leave. 😞
I hate to say it, but as we age, our sense of smell dulls. So a lot of older people put on a LOT of scent, not realizing that it’s too damned much. It’s especially noticeable in an elevator; you get in one, and it literally *reeks* of someone’s perfume, it’s gag-inducing!
I do a spritz on the back of my neck. If my hair moves, the scent kind of floats, but it’s not overpowering anyone who is standing near me. That’s my favorite place to put it.
Hey, I have all those items! But strangely enough, only the jeans get worn. I would add to her list a great leather belt. I had lost mine on a recent business trip and was thrilled to find a Calvin Klein leather belt at my local VA thrift store for $1.95.
As someone who gets stuffed up and a sinus headache from most perfumes, I heartily cosign the “just a little” advice. Some people drown themselves in it, and then everyone around them suffers.
I get immediate sinus headaches from being around someone with too much perfume on or who has a strong scent on. I can only wear mildly scented body lotion because of how my head closes up immediately, all stuffy, with anything stronger.
I can’t wear any perfumes or lotions….absolutely kills me…
Yup – allergies and migraines. The problem with putting too much on is that people get used to the smell and don’t realize how strong it is for everyone else. It’s awful.
Same here. Perfume, body spray, etc = instant headache and asthma flare for me.
I think that’s it. We had a client who just about choked everyone around her with whatever powdery perfume she doused herself in, and we all wondered how her husband and family stood it. Then we figured she probably killed their sense of smell decades ago.
Yes to the lotions too, and a problem I’m really noticing now is hand soap. With some of them the scent lingers for hours, no matter how many times you wash your hand with other stuff! We had one at our office at Christmas that was disgusting. No scent, or something clean like mild lemon is a must for me.
My husband and I were seated next this couple in Napa who were so doused in perfume and cologne we couldn’t taste our food. I was livid. We asked to be moved (out of their hearing) but the restaurant was packed. So inconsiderate.
I love perfume but never wear it out to public events, planes or anywhere where there is an enclosed space. Mostly wear it in my home, outside, in very large areas. Mostly apply for me to smell alone, so one light spray. Live near a college and young girls haven’t figured this out yet. Realized when I was in college I was also an over-sprayer because I like scent…and yes worshipped at B & BW. They also wear the cheap B& BW sprays, cheaper perfumes. It is nauseating to smell a gaggle of girls walking together….and the smell of Warm Vanilla Sugar makes me want to gag.
Unfortunately she appears to have a case of the Garner shoe.
Why is she bringing out a third perfume when I see the first two are always in the bargain bins at the department store. Can’t stand celebrity products, especially with their name & face on.
Maybe her contract was for 3..
I’m sure her fans bought all of them and can tell how they actually smell.
Aniston and Kate Middleton sure do love a wedge. In many ways, they have a lot in common.
I think I’ve seen 3-4 series of pictures of her in the last week or so, and she always has that pursed-up mouth like she’s annoyed. It’s inevitable to look that way sometimes with all the paparazzi around her, but she used to smile and look pleasant in some of the shots.
This woman is so superficial. The only thing she talks is hair and perfumes and how to keep your skin wonderfull. What about a serious subject Jennifer ?
To herself, she is the only subject that matters.
I agree about the jeans, the jacket and the scarf (I’m a scarf person), but not so much about the wedges. But I do like her casual style. It almost always looks effortless, and that’s how it’s supposed to look. I’m not a big parfume lover, but when wearing something, I spray it infront of me, and walk through. That way, it’s hard to overdo it. But just walk ones;-)
Yes, I would say you need a beautiful pair of shoes, either flats or sandals or pumps. Wedges would be my last choice. They’re so in and out of style and quite frankly, ugly. I mean, I have some wedge sandals and some espadrilles but wedges are my least favorite shoe style besides stiletto.
I love her street style….most of the time. Its very laid back and easy breezy. Love everything she is wearing in the above pics, including her jewelry.
More and more, Jennifer is looking like an Olsen.
Can someone please unglue her hand from her hair? In every single picture she is touching her hair. Is it a nervous tic or what? It’s beyond annoying.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do think she is pregnant too. Well, I guess I don’t want to end my perfect strike of “famous baby bump watch”… *sorry, it did sound creepy, I swear I am not* lol
Speaking of pregnancy, we don’t get a lot of Hunnam coverage here, but I think his longtime girlfriend is preggos.
I love her outfit here, perfection! Damn I need those pants…
I do a light spray on one wrist, rub my wrists together, and do a very light spray at the base of my throat. I use really high quality perfume (well, technically it’s an Armani men’s fragrance so it’s not perfume) so you don’t need very much and it lasts for over a day if you don’t shower. Really subtle and beautiful.
Jennifer is 45. It’s unlikely she’d get pregnant naturally at this stage (and yes, I know some women do) and I think there would have been IV rumours before this stage.
Besides, Jennifer’s bread and butter in the tabloids for 20 years has been pregnancy rumours and she doesn’t seem that keen on having kids. If she were pregnant it seems like she’d be spilling it all over the tabloids because she’s all about shilling body/health ‘advice’.
I think it’s time to drop the Aniston pregnancy speculation. Are people still going to be on bump watch when she’s 50?

I think Jennifer is 47-years old.
