Jennifer Aniston prefers "jeans and flip-flops" to Met Gala outfits.
The 56-year-old Friends icon explained that while she has been invited to the annual glitz fashion extravaganza, she is much more comfortable in a casual environment.
She told Glamour magazine: "Yes, I have [been invited], but I don’t go. It overwhelms me.
"It’s the getting ready, the putting on the dress. I’m a'“jeans and flip-flops and tank top' kind of girl.
"I love dressing up too, but for me it’s a mental game of… 'Let’s get dressed up, put on a fancy dress, makeup, get your hair all ‘purdy’ and go sit in a big room with your peers.'
She acknowledged that "everyone’s there to celebrate each other and have some fun", but she still gets nervous in those kinds of environments.
She added: "I even get a little anxious about public speaking, especially over the years of having your words twisted and taken out of context.
"So I find myself almost hall-monitoring myself in a weird way."
The Morning Show star was grateful after she was told that actress Marion Cotillard has been inspired by her as she approaches her 50th birthday.
Jennifer said: "That means so much to me. We didn’t have that [those kind of role models growing up].
"And I think as far as aging gracefully, I have an eternal fountain of optimism and positivity. Call it youth if you want.
"But I think it all starts with how we love our bodies and love where we are."
She pointed out that while she still has treatment to keep herself looking fresh, she thinks aging is also "a mindset".
She explained: "I’m not going to say I don’t get the facials and the lasers and all that good stuff.
"I mean, I’m maintained. I’m not going to just go down and let these gray hairs take over. So its perspective, and also knowing that this is our one body.
"It’s a mindset. So it means a lot to me to hear that from Marion, who I think is a walking beam of sunshine and love and beauty and talent."
