Jennifer Aniston--THEN & NOW

This is the Jennifer Aniston that men drool over today. She is, as they used to put it, quite a looker. But she wasn't always that way...

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux at the 85th Academy Awards, 2013

While Aniston is Hollywood royalty now, she had to start from the bottom. Now, she stars in huge films, models for endorsement deals and attends premieres with hot fiance, Justin Theroux on her arm. But she wasn't always the huge star or style icon that we know now.

Jennifer Aniston in Leprechaun, 1993

Before her yoga body and perfectly highlighted hair was the envy Hollywood, we have this young version of Jennifer Aniston in the (epic) movie Leprechaun (1993). This was only a few years after she graduated from high school, and Aniston was at least the star. Well, the real star was the little green man who was killing everyone. Citizen Kane it is not.

Jennifer Aniston at the Leprechaun Premiere, 1992

This 1992 photo looks more like the Jennifer Aniston we see today. She doesn't look especially happy; to be fair, this was taken at the after-party for the premiere of the horror film Leprechaun. Here's the trailer. Everyone has to start somewhere.

Jennifer Aniston Guest-Stars on Quantum Leap, 1992

Remember Quantum Leap? Great show. Because every episode involved traveling through time and space, they went through more guest stars than Law & Order (almost). Aniston made an appearance in 1992, wearing a headband, shiny/dangly earrings, and her soon-to-be-famous bangs.

Jennifer Aniston at an NBC Pool Party, 1990

Ms. Aniston seen here in 1990 attending an NBC pool party (can you even imagine what went on at that thing?). Friends didn't happen until 1994, so Jen probably had to go to as many of these events as she could. Check out the L.A. Law license plate in the background!

Jennifer Aniston on the Red Carpet, 1990

And here we are back in 1990. Remember when baggy clothes were in? We're not the fashion police (heck, we're not even the fashion coast guard), but we feel confident saying that Aniston's puffy shirt and mom jeans are not her best red-carpet look.

Jennifer Aniston Starring in Ferris Bueller, 1990

This 1990 photo of Aniston is from her stint on the short-lived TV series Ferris Bueller, which was based on the classic 1986 John Hughes film with Matthew Broderick. Aniston played Ferris's sister, a role played by Jennifer Grey in the movie. Not the greatest pic of Jen ever taken, but she wasn't what you'd call a "hideous beast."

Jennifer Aniston's Early Head Shot

Head shots are a tricky business. This one, from early in Jennifer Aniston's career, features feathered hair and slightly parted lips, which was the style at the time. Looking back, it was not a great style. (See also: leg warmers.) Nice bangs, though.

Jennifer Aniston in Camp Cucamonga, 1990

This photo, which shows a young Jennifer Aniston filming a TV movie called Camp Cucamonga (1990), is both fun to watch and extremely boring. That look on Aniston's face—cranky yet resigned—is the result of standing around on a movie set while the crew debates whether or not the birds are louder than the plane flying overhead.

Jennifer Aniston Senior Yearbook Photo, LaGuardia High School of Music and Art, New York City, 1987

Here is Aniston's yearbook photo from 1987, when she was a senior at LaGuardia High School of Music and Art. There's more of a hint here of the highly desired woman she would eventually become. Mostly in the eyes.

Jennifer Aniston Prom Photo from the Rudolf Steiner School, 1984

This is Jennifer Aniston going to the prom, but not at LaGuardia and not as a senior. We'll tell you more at the next pic. Until then, enjoy this close-up of Jen and her Cyndi Lauper-esque '80s hairdo.

Chastity (now Chaz) Bono and Jennifer Aniston are caught on film in the girls’ locker room at LaGuardia High School in 1987. Chaz Bono spoke fondly of his high school years as one of Aniston’s classmates during a candid interview with Howard Stern.

Jennifer Aniston Student Council High School Photo

Aniston looks like a serious tomboy in this photo of her and (wait for it) the rest of the student council. This photo doesn't give the impression that she would grow up to be someone whose body inspires others to spend more time at the gym. Ms. Aniston has definitely left the plaid shirts behind and inspires many today with her classic and sexy style.
