Never one to chase trends, Charlotte Gainsbourg proves that true style transcends seasons—and perhaps generations—in her striking return to Marie Claire France’s September cover.
There’s something almost defiant about the way Gainsbourg inhabits this frame: arms raised in casual triumph, oversized sunglasses masking her gaze, wrapped in mustard silk that catches the Mediterranean light like liquid gold. It’s not just a cover—it’s a manifesto. At 53, the daughter of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin continues to embody that elusive French je ne sais quoi, but with a newfound confidence that feels both earned and effortless.
Fresh from a yacht-dappled romance with wellness guru Jim Curtis, Jennifer Aniston radiates in Gala France’s latest spread—equal parts spiritual serenity and California cool (with a side of whiplash chic in Levi’s and Essie’s pale pink).
If there’s one thing Hollywood’s eternal girl-next-door understands, it’s the art of reinvention—without ever losing herself. Gala France’s July 2025 cover story captures Aniston in her Montecito sanctuary, a $13 million haven once owned by Oprah Winfrey, where meditation corners and Pvolve workouts coexist with the quiet hum of new love. The imagery is pure Jen: sun-kissed, unforced, and meticulously curated. A faded Levi’s 501, a swipe of Essie’s Mademoiselle on her nails, and that Friends-era Chris McMillan hair—blunt-cut and honeyed—prove she’s still the queen of “no-makeup makeup” glamour.
But the real headline? Her summer fling with Jim Curtis, the 50-year-old “playboy coach” whose Instagram mantras (“L’amour vient à moi…”) snagged her attention—and, apparently, her heart. Paparazzi shots of them lounging off Majorca (him: brooding, green-eyed; her: laughing, barefoot) fueled rumors, but it’s Curtis’ pragmatic approach to love that seems to resonate. “Tout va très vite entre eux,” a source whispers, noting their shared obsession with dogs, spirituality, and Amy Schumer’s approval.
Style Notes: Less Is More, But Better
Aniston’s wardrobe here is a masterclass in stealth wealth. The Gala spread leans into her off-duty uniform:
- Denim: Vintage Levi’s, cuffed just so.
- Beauty: Oliver Peoples glasses, that signature Rachel -esque blowout.
- Wellness: A fridge stocked with bulgur-and-feta salads, LolaVie hair products (her plant-based line) flying off Target shelves.
No couture, no red-carpet theatrics—just the quiet confidence of a woman who’s survived Hollywood’s gauntlet (Brad Pitt’s betrayal, IVF heartbreaks, Theroux’s divorce) and emerged with her humor intact. “Faire rire, c’est comme une médecine pour moi,” she told Hüftx in 2014.
The Cultural Calculus
Aniston’s allure has always been her relatability—even when she’s earning €1.7 million per Morning Show episode or producing Apple TV’s I’m Glad My Mom Died . But this chapter feels different. At 56, she’s not just America’s sweetheart; she’s a mogul, a meditation convert, and now, perhaps, a woman in love. Curtis, with his spinal-injury resilience and “shift-your-mindset” ethos, mirrors her own journey. “Quand j’étais malade, triste…” he posted recently, “[je n’aurais] jamais imaginé vivre une telle abondance de joie.”
Closing Thought
Is this the zen-era Aniston we’ve been waiting for—or just another Hollywood whirlwind? Either way, her Levi’s-and-lipgloss formula remains unbeatable. Question is: Will Curtis’ “verbalisation positive” finally stick where others faltered?
Jenna Ortega and Christina Ricci, queens of the macabre, grace Anthem Screen Spotlight for Wednesday 2025—their dual presence a delightful study in the series’ evolving, darker gothic charm. (And yes, the braids are still impeccable.)
There’s a whisper in the air, a delicious chill that can only mean one thing: Wednesday is returning. And with it, the magnetic presence of its leading ladies, Jenna Ortega and Christina Ricci, captured here for Anthem Screen Spotlight 2025. This isn’t just a promotional image; it’s a testament to gothic evolution, a visual conversation between generations of iconic Wednesday Addams portrayals.
