Jennifer Aniston graced the cover of Allure for the December 2022 issue in a barely-there Chanel “nipplekini”—and we still haven’t recovered.
The 53-year-old smokeshow looked incredible in the teeny bikini that was first seen on supermodels like Eva Herzigova and Stella Tennant on Chanel’s spring 1996 runway, and was more recently spotted in an R-rated (and since-deleted) selfie on Kim Kardashian’s feed in 2018.
'Nipplekini' Top Rented To Allure For $1,996 By Vintage Shop
It was reported that the famous "nipplekini" used in the cover shoot was an actual vintage Chanel piece provided for the spread by online luxury vintage store El Cycèr, which rents out the hard-to-find design for up to 72 hours at a whopping $1,996 rate. The bikini's top is comprised of two small black circles with Chanel's logo in the middle of each, held together by the tiniest whisper of skimpy straps.
Another piece Jennifer wore in the shoot was also provided by El Cycèr; a Tom-Ford designed Gucci thong featuring interlocking G's (the brand's monogram) in gold metal hardware. Borrowing this particular piece would also set you back a ways—the G-string is priced at $1,997 for rental.
Kim Kardashian has worn both items in sizzling snaps posted to Instagram, most famously the "nipplekini" in a now-deleted sexy selfie.

Jennifer Aniston 'Has Nothing To Hide'
The Allure interview with Jennifer was titled "Jennifer Aniston Has Nothing To Hide," and that indeed proved to be true—both on the cover and in the article itself.

"I don't have anything to hide at this point," shared the actress, who candidly spoke to the magazine about stardom, her career, and trying to conceive. "I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road," confessed the Friends star. "I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, 'Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.' You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed."
The television icon seems to have made peace with her life's direction, though, saying "I feel the best in who I am today, better than I ever did in my 20s or 30s even, or my mid-40s." And, at 53, she clearly still looks incredible, too.
Allure's interview ends with a prompt to Jennifer to name this chapter of her life, and she did so with a smile: "Phoenix Rising." What a beautiful phoenix it is!
