Jennifer Aniston in a Bikini

Jennifer Aniston in a bikini has the power to stop men’s hearts and provoke admiration in most women’s eyes.

Jennifer Aniston has come a long way from the super-hit show Friends. Described as "America’s Sweetheart" and the "girl-next-door", everything from her hair to her figure is admired. However, back then, her look tended towards cute skirts and jeans that showed off a very curvy female figure. Now, the Jennifer Aniston in a bikini of today is very different from those days. In fact, Ms. Aniston now cuts one lean figure; her toned arms and super flat stomach are the envy of most!

Thanks in large part to the ever-present paparazzi, one can take a look at Jennifer Aniston in a bikini through the years! Here is how her style has evolved.

One of the first bikini images of Jennifer Aniston emerged in 2002 when she celebrated New Year’s in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with her good friends Courtney Cox and David Arquette. In a red bikini, Ms. Aniston cut quite the bombshell figure!

• A Comparable Look: A similar tie around the neck bikini can be found at Couture Candy. The design available here is by Lotta Stensson, and it’s done in the same fire-engine color Aniston wore. It's available for $77.00.

In this photo from 2003 the bikini top of white does not match the striped blue bikini bottom, and it’s a rare misstep for the 40-year-old stunner. While the look is certainly sporty, it does nothing to enhance her gold, sun-kissed complexion and, in fact, makes her figure look slightly boyish. However, this picture was taken during her friend and co-star Matt LeBlanc’s wedding, so smiling for the cameras was probably the last thing on her mind!

• A Comparable Look: The mix and match style, however, does agree with some. If that’s the case, you can find a similarly styled white bikini top and blue bikini bottom at Bella Beachwear.

Jennifer Aniston begins to hit her bikini style in this photo taken in Cannes, France. The bottom of the bikini is done in a tri-color pattern of red, white and brown, while the top is fashioned in a beautiful, decadent, chocolate brown.

• A Comparable Look: For a comparable look, try Butterflies and Bikinis. They also offer a delightful shade of brown with a string tie and tri-color bottom.

Unfortunately this bikini photo was taken at what must have been a sad time in Jennifer’s life. In Anguilla, the actress was photographed in a simple while bikini top and loose, blue shorts. Shortly after these pictures were released, Jennifer and her then husband, Brad Pitt, announced their separation.

These days, Ms. Aniston is nothing if not fit, and in May 2007, her ice-pink bikini showed off her tanned and taut figure. This pink bikini features a round, circular, silver detail and side tie bottom.

• A Comparable Look: Ujena offers a similar Pretty in Pink Bikini for $59.48.

With friends in Florida, Jennifer Aniston dons a fuchsia bandeau styled bikini and matching string bottom. The color is very flattering and "pops" brilliantly, while the paparazzi gets their shot.

• A Comparable Look: Amazingly, Victoria Secret offers a fuchsia bandeaus top for $20.00 and a matching bottom for $18.00.

To be sure, Jennifer Aniston is a stunning woman who looks great no matter what she happens to be wearing. From evening dresses to jeans and from tank tops to bikinis, hers is a style that many women would love to emulate.
