The Actress Offered Fans A Glimpse Inside Her Bel-Air Home

Aniston was among the most elegantly dressed attendees at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. She shared a video on Instagram for her 44.8 million followers showcasing her flawless makeup and hair styling after slipping into a strapless pearl-hued Oscar de la Renta gown.

However, the video unintentionally gave fans a glimpse inside her Los Angeles Bel Air home, which featured a midcentury modern aesthetic with art and sculptures.

According to Architectural Digest, Aniston's Bel Air home was originally designed by renowned architect A. Quincy Jones and completed in 1965.

When Aniston purchased the property in 2011, it had recently undergone a redesign by architect Frederick Fisher, which she felt was too "cool and minimal" for her taste.

The swatting incident comes weeks after Aniston took to her Instagram story to blast Donald Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance, for his comments about "childless cat ladies" in the Democratic party.

"I truly can't believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States," Aniston wrote, per Variety. "All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children one day."

The actress then pointed out Vance's vote against the Right to IVF Act, which aims to safeguard access to IVF services nationwide.

She expressed her hope that the senator's stance would not one day prevent his child from having children if she ever faces fertility issues.

Anniston added, "I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too."
