Jennifer Aniston looked radiant when she stepped out for the 2018 InStyle Awards in La on Monday night. The actress was stylish in a sexy black dress and was on hand to support her hairstylist and friend Chris McMillan with the hairstylist of the year award. During her speech, Jennifer kept things lighthearted as she cracked a joke at Chris's expense.
"I had no idea how to do what he did. No one seems to know how to do what Chris does, and I figured out that's called creating job security, so well done, Chris," Jennifer joked. Chris, on the other hand, couldn't help but gush about Jennifer and their friendship during his acceptance speech. "She's taught me not only to have a friend but be a friend, and I'm so lucky to have a muse like Jen," he said.

Based on the bestselling young adult novel by Julie Murphy, “Dumplin'” centers on Willowdean (Macdonald), a plus-size teenager whose mother was a former beauty queen. She enters the Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant as a protest, which inspires more nontraditional contestants to compete. Parton and Perry composed six original tunes for the film, which premieres in theaters and on Netflix on December 7.
This isn’t Parton’s first awards rodeo.

Dolly Parton has livened up the Oscar trail this year with her new song “Girl in the Movies,” from the Netflix movie “Dumplin.'” Following a live performance of the song for a select industry crowd (mostly journalists and Golden Globes voters) at the Four Seasons on Monday, the recording icon stopped by a screening of the film with “Dumplin'” star Danielle Macdonald to field questions from the audience.
When told the crowd was primarily Screen Actors Guild Awards voters, Parton gestured to her trademark curves and quipped, “I took care of all my saggin’!”
