Last year, Jennifer Aniston’s super-bronzed cover for InStyle had fans fuming. Now the birthday girl — she turns 51 on Feb. 11 — is back on newsstands with yet another photo shoot that is drawing criticism.
The actress’s shoot for the March cover of Interview is a saucy one. Aniston, who is interviewed by pal Sandra Bullock for the accompanying cover story, wears just a leather jacket, black briefs and sexy over-the-knee boots in the photo. But the pose — which has her perched on the edge of the table, legs akimbo with one heel jauntily kicked up, her left hand seemingly captured mid-snap à la the Fonz — has been blasted as “awkward” by her fans. Aniston’s bemused facial expression also caught some flak.
“WTF is with this horribly awkward pose????” one commenter said of the shot captured by fashion photographer Alique.
“She’s a beautiful woman but this is not a flattering photo,” read another critique.
“Whoever let this icon and national treasure pose like this and print it on a cover should be fired,” griped one commenter.
“Everything about this is horrible,” someone added. “Facial expression, tacky outfit, awkward pose. Not to mention having her pant-less doesn’t make the picture more appealing in the slightest.”
