Jennifer Aniston Settles Debate Over Rachel’s Viral Dress In Friends
Fans were divided.
Last week, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Friends, the streaming service Max shared two images from the show on Instagram — one in HD and one in 4K — and it’s been causing a stir online.
In the two photos, from the 1996 episode “The One Where No One’s Ready,” the color of Rachel Green’s dress is different. In HD, the dress is a light green; on Max’s 4K, it’s baby blue. “So her dress was blue all along!” one fan posted in the comment section. Another chimed in, “The dress is not blue. The color has been changed with the 4K remaster.”
On Sept. 25, Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel, settled the fan confusion. She shared the post to her Instagram Stories with the comment, “For the record, the dress was mint green.”
While many fans are fond of the show’s 4K revamp, others believe the dress snafu is “proof that not everything has to be 4K.” As one fan wrote, “HD is how they intended the series to look. I think recoloring ruins the warm tones of the original.”
There’s A New Friends Game Show
To mark the sitcom’s 30th anniversary, Max recently announced a new trivia game show. According to Entertainment Weekly, the four-episode competition show, titled Fast Friends, will be filmed on the sitcom’s real sets, based at The Friends Experience in New York City.
“From racing through Rachel and Monica’s apartment to darting across Joey and Chandler’s bachelor pad and grabbing a coffee at Central Perk, fans will relive their favorite moments while being put to the test with trivia, puzzles, and games,” an official synopsis reads.
The show is currently in the works, and a release date has yet to be announced.
