Every Outfit Rachel Ever Wore On 'Friends', Ranked From Best To Worst: Season 9
Rachel's style evolution on Friends is weird. She's more elegant and timeless in the late '90s and gets progressively tackier into the early '00s, but I kind of blame it all on the influence of "boho" at the time. Meanwhile in Season 9, despite some questionable outfit choices, new mom Rachel hair is ON POINT. And as usual, when she does something well, she does it very, very well.

If you told me she was starring in a country music video I would believe you. Especially if it was on the soundtrack from a shitty action movie like Con Air (sorry Con Air, I still love you).

Season 9, Episode 22
I’m pretty sure I thought this was super hot when I was seventeen but I’m not seventeen anymore so that should tell you everything you need to know.

Season 9, Episode 11
Rachel has one ugly ass ’60s inspired outfit per season and I supposed this is it.

Season 9, Episode 10
This is The Craft meets Pollyanna and while that sounds like it could be cool, it’s really not.

Season 9, Episode 8
It’s the poo brown turtle neck from before, but this time worn with poo brown pants as well!

Season 9, Episode 15
Prepare yourself. Things are about to get ugly up in here. Ugly like that skirt.

Season 9, Episode 20
What she’s hiding underneath is pretty cute, but the gown isn’t her best (and considering she’s set the bar pretty high with her dressing gowns, I’m letting her off easy for this one).

Season 9, Episode 19
Sorry I don’t have a caption for this one because I fell asleep looking at it.

Season 9, Episode 17
More plainness that would rate higher if it didn’t look like she was wearing parachute pants.

Season 9, Episode 13
Rachel has three modes: Stunningly amazing, BORING and hideous. This is the middle one.

Season 9, Episode 2
Totally forgivable because she just came home from the hospital after giving birth, but also not particularly rousing.

Season 9, Episode 19
It’s not bad, but it’s not great either. It kind of looks like she might be on her way to the lake house.

Season 9, Episode 14
I mean, she’s on a bad date sure, but it’s still a date. This t-shirt is not the best date wear by Rachel, especially when she dressed like a total smoke show for her “fake” date with Joey last season.

Season 9, Episode 14
It’s a little bit pirate, but still chic enough to make for cute work wear.

Season 9, Episode 20
This loses points for the scarf around the neck (which is actually quite appropriate for a soap opera party), but the black is chic, so I’m still loving it.

Season 9, Episode 1
She just had a baby, so I’m giving her a pass on these ugly green pajamas, because also, whose hair looks like that when they’ve just been in labour for 24 hours?
Image: NBC
Season 9, Episode 3
These grey slacks with peasant top makes the outfit very “corporate earth mother chic”.
Image: NBC
Season 9, Episode 12
This outfit was better with the jacket, but it’s still a perfectly chic office outfit without it.
Image: NBC
Season 9, Episode 19
I mean, not everyone looks this sexy wearing a plain white tank to bed.
Image: NBC
Season 9, Episode 17
It’s a sleeping t-shirt, but the choice of weapon levels it up exponentially.

Season 9, Episode 24
I HATE flip flops, but Rachel looks so hot in this strappy black dress I’m going to willfully ignore the fact that her footwear sucks.

Season 9, Episode 23
This new mom outfit is nothing flash but it gets one million cute points because LOOK AT EMMA!!!!!!
Image: NBC
Season 9, Episode 21
I should hate this, because it looks like the shirt is rouched at the breast, but the relaxed denim pants and white shirt with mules combo is exactly how early millennium Upper East Side chic should be done.

Season 9, Episode 14
Rachel had some good coats this season, this fur collared one being at the top of the pack.
Image: NBC
Season 9, Episode 18
Cute band tee, and probably the only time long sleeves under short ever looked good.
Image: NBC
Season 9, Episode 12
This is the most incredible profesh single mother look ever. THAT SMUG SMILE THO.
Image: NBC
Season 9, Episode 6
THAT NECKLINE. Brb, currently dedicating my life to yoga-ing my shoulders to that neckline.
Image: NBC
Season 9, Episode 24
This is one of my all time favorite Rachel looks. In theory, the colors and pattern are pretty ugly, but the cut of the dress is so adorable the whole thing works.

Season 9, Episode 9
My greatest wish is that when I’m a mother, I look just like this (also that my children are happy and healthy and safe from danger but whatever, this dress).
