Gwen Stefani and Jennifer Aniston had a friendly run-in at the People’s Choice Awards on Sunday night, and Gwen shared photographic evidence of their encounter on Instagram. Gwen puckered her lips for her picture with the smiling Friends actress, and the No Doubt frontwoman used the caption of her post to let the world know just how proud she is to know Jennifer. This earned Gwen a coveted shout-out from the TV icon.
In Gwen Stefani’s social media snapshot, she and Jennifer Aniston are wearing the glamorous gowns that they picked out for the star-studded People’s Choice Awards ceremony. Because the event covers multiple genres of entertainment, from music to TV to movies, it’s one of the rare occasions where celebrities who don’t usually run in the same circles get to mingle and pose for pictures that make their Instagram followers lose their minds. Gwen succeeded in doing just this by puckering her lips, closing her eyes, and making it appear as though she was about to give Jennifer a kiss on the cheek.
Gwen also pointed at Jennifer for their playful picture, lifting up an arm that was clad in an elegant black evening glove. Her dark arm wear and the gigantic bow on the back of her stunning Vera Wang dress matched Jennifer’s all-black gown, which featured a structured bustier-style bodice. However, the rest of Gwen’s gown was white, save for the words “Fashion Icon” that were emblazoned on the side of her train in old English lettering.
In the caption of her post, Gwen Stefani humble-bragged about knowing Jennifer Aniston, and she sweetly added that she loves the star, “just like everyone else.” According to Fox News , the two women’s famous former husbands, Gavin Rossdale and Brad Pitt, are friends, so this is how the “Just a Girl” singer and the Just Go With It actress first became acquainted over a decade and a half ago.
