Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon shared a sweet reunion on Sunday night as they attended the 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards in Los Angeles.
The two actresses were both nominated for their roles alongside each other in The Morning Show and shared a warm hug on the red carpet.
Jennifer, 54, and Reese, 47, have been close friends ever since they played sisters on Friends in 2000 and looked delighted to see each other.
Jennifer dazzled in a black bustier top with a long flowing train and teamed with a pair of matching trousers and dangly earrings.
The Cake star continued to rock her ‘The Rachel’ haircut after bringing back the hairstyle at last week’s Golden Globes.
Reese complemented her co-star in another strapless black ensemble, opting for a Celine gown with a large asymmetrical bow across her waist and racy leg slit.
The duo were sat together inside the star-studded event to watch the ceremony, alongside Reese’s lookalike daughter Ava Phillippe, 24.
Their series garnered six nominations in the TV categories, including Best Drama Series, while both Jennifer and Reese received nods for Best Actress in a Drama Series.
However, they were beaten out by Succession in both categories, with Sarah Snook taking the Best Actress gong.
But, their co-star Billy Crudup was successful in winning for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for playing Cory Ellison.
Jennifer and Reese recently opened up about their long-standing friendship in a joint interview with Variety last month.
Jennifer explained: ‘We’ve been in each other’s lives for 20-something years. It’s just in our DNA that we are collaborators.
‘We’re partners. We’re friends. We’re girlfriends, we share all sorts of heartbreaks in life and love and everything.’
Reese then gushed: ‘There’s a comfort to that. It’s just mutual respect and years of experience. And I think we’re both incredulous that we’re both still kicking around!
Elsewhere at the awards, Barbie’s Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig accepted Best Comedy after host Chelsea Handler demanded on-air moment.
Meanwhile, Paul Giamatti landed a shock win over Cillian Murphy on a night where Emma Stone, Oppenheimer, and The Bear all triumphed.
Despite Cillian not winning, Oppenheimer had a massive night as it earned top honor Best Picture and earned the most awards of the night with five including Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Ensemble.
The night culminated with the blockbuster film beating out heavy competition including: American Fiction, Barbie, The Color Purple, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives, Poor Things, and Saltburn.

Meanwhile Emma was also one of the biggest winners of the night as she earned Best Actress for Poor Things.

The Critics Choice Awards are bestowed annually to honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement and historically, they are the most accurate predictor of Academy Award nominations.
