Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s Best Red-Carpet Moments: A Retrospective

The SAG Awards are usually the quieter cousin of the Hollywood ceremonies, and they often fade into the shadow of the Golden Globes and the Oscars. But 2020’s show was a little different—what with the memorable speeches, viral highlights, deserving winners...and a much-photographed, much-discussed backstage reunion of exes Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.

Both Pitt and Aniston won awards on Sunday night, furnishing plenty of opportunities for congratulations and interaction. After Pitt’s acceptance speech jokingly referenced his past—“A guy who gets high, takes his shirt off, and doesn’t get on with his wife? It was a big stretch”—the camera panned to Aniston, who was smiling. Then Pitt watched Aniston’s own acceptance speech from a screen backstage, and the two finally ran into each other, sharing a friendly embrace that recalled all their big red-carpet moments from two decades ago.

Pitt and Aniston divorced in 2005, but they were undoubtedly an It couple in the years prior. If you need a brief recap of their relationship: After meeting in 1994, their managers set them up on a date in 1998. At the 1999 Emmy Awards, they made their red-carpet debut as a couple, and they were a fixture of the firmament thereafter, especially after their 2000 wedding. Along the way, they gave us plenty of glamorous outings to remember. Below, see some of the former couple’s best red-carpet moments.
