Every Outfit Rachel Ever Wore On 'Friends', Ranked From Best To Worst: Season 8
I'm going to be real for a second: Season 8 wasn't a strong one for Rachel. Granted, she was pregnant, so clothes, understandably, definitely weren't her first priority, and for the most part, looks pretty cute regardless. But it's generally a bit of a "blah" nothing season overall, as even her best looks are sort of plain. (A LOT of monotone wrap dresses, which she looks hot in, but come on, branch out!) Here are all of Rachel's outfits from Season 8 of Friends, ranked from best to worst...

Season 8, Episode 5
No wait, actually THESE sleeves could cover Manhattan and all the outer boroughs.

Season 8, Episode 9
This is very “Like A Virgin” meets “peasant-chic”. Notice how neither of these things denote good fashion choices.

Season 8, Episode 4
This definitely was made out of one of her grandmas old mu-mus, for sure.

Season 8, Episode 17
This is Rachel’s Cruella De Ville, except that instead of killing dalmatian puppies, she’s got her eye on muppets.

Season 8, Episode 12
This frilled thing is so hideous you barely even notice the ugly pants.

Season 8, Episode 2
This t-shirt. That bag. It’s like she watched Sex & the City and decided to go “eclectic” like Carrie.

Season 8, Episode 22
Tan polyester skirt and red plastic dog tag. Nothing says 2001 quite like this mess.

Season 8, Episode 13
This was the day Rachel went to audition for the role of Meghan Draper. She didn’t get the part.

Season 8, Episode 13
Again, we forgive because of pregnancy, but these Italian nonna PJs are barely okay even with the discombobulating pregnancy hormones.

Season 8, Episode 15
This is so ugly, I want to gouge my eyes out so I don’t have to look at it any more.

Season 8, Episode 20
When your mother is dressed better than you, it’s time to reassess your wardrobe choices.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 11
We forgive Rachel because she’s pregnant and can do whatever makes her comfortable, but this is the schlubiest she’s ever looked.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 16
This wrap dress is not one of Rachel’s good ones, mostly because of that awful pattern.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 17
This outfit is just okay, and then you realize the coat she’s holding in her hand is embroidered with weird looking flowers and lined in hot pink satin, and everything comes crashing down around you.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 21
I don’t know why Rachel has a surgical gown in her collection of personal sleepwear, but she does.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 22
This is something that my mom would wear, and my mom is a good 20 years older than Rachel.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 19
I didn’t mind this until I realized it was a giant peace sign and it started to bother me. Not peace (I like peace), but the peace sign on the t-shirt.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 21
Note to the early ’00s: if something could be described as “peasant”, it should never have been worn. Also, “peasant” never would fly now, in this era of the Internet think piece.

Season 8, Episode 21
It’s a boring outfit for sure but Rachel is such a cute mommy I don’t even care.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 24
This is a woman who allegedly just had a baby. Her gown is dull but I’m going to let that go because of how fabulous and tan she still looks.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 13
It’s not Rachek’s fault hospital gowns are ugly, but she’s WERKIN regardless.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 9
Rachel has for sure had better nightgowns, but I actually like her hair in rollers. Weird fetish maybe?
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 4
This is a little dowdy on the bottom, but the top half is very chic profesh.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 22
I always loved the purple bra with the red tank when I was a teen, so I’m going to leave this here in homage to 2001.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 11
A bit boring and all black, but Rachel cuts a pretty fine monochrome figure in her casual pregnancy wear.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 2
I feel like a red maxi skirt and denim jacket was every teenagers dream outfit in the early ’00s.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 11
Somehow Rachel wears pigtails in a cute way, but one that’s more fashionable than infantalizing.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 6
“I’m going as a woman who spent a lot of money on a dress and is wearing it because soon she’ll be too big for it to fit”, or something, said Rachel.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 13
Rachel is one of the few women whose head can pull of a half-up-half down do and still look sexy as hell.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 15
I want this sweater for all my Chinese eating, Netflix watching days to come.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 14
This isn’t much, but when you consider she’s balancing a can on her baby, it makes it all seem pretty sweet.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 19
I always think about when I get pregnant, and how much I’d love to be one of those super fit, glowing women who looks exactly the same as their pre-pregnant selves except for having a big belly. In reality, I’m going to be a sweaty whale eating blocks of cheese like apples.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 18
This is what I like to call “Sexy, pregnant, rich, and no f*cks to give.”
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 12
If I went out with Rachel in that dress, I’d fall in love with her too.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 10
After 7 seasons of never once pulling off a leather jacket, SHE DOES IT. Even though Joey’s sister is totally stealing this with her fluffy coat.
Image: NBC
Season 8, Episode 5
Rachel as we’ve established, is Queen of The Little Black Wrap Dress. Bow before greatness.
