As they say less is more and when it comes to style, that rule almost always applies.

Jennifer Aniston embraced a simple fashion aesthetic on Thursday, so simple, she opted to go without a bra in an understated flowing dress.

The 47-year-old star headed out in Manhattan in a Little Black Dress which was probably a little more revealing than she had planned.

The Friends star donned a sleeveless crepe material dress with an asymmetrical hemline.

Despite being high necked and the dress finishing on Jennifer's knees, the star's decision to go bra-less mean it was a not as conservative as the cut would have normally mandated.

Following the dress' understated lead, the star wore it with Stuart Weitzman Nudist heels which were sexy but subtle.

Jen avoided wearing much jewellery sans for a gold watch and leather and gold band.

The Cake actress further accessorized her look with a black satchel bag and a pair of gold framed sunglasses.

The sleeveless dress was perfect for showing off her toned arms and the rest of the frock fell loosely around her frame which has been the source of so much speculation of late.

Earlier this month a magazine claimed Jennifer was pregnant after photos of her on vacation with husband Justin Theroux surfaced in which her mid-section looked fuller.

Turns out Jen is like us mere mortals as her rep blamed her distended tummy on a big lunch. 

Jen is clearly a big fan of lunch as the star was all smiles after she grabbed at bite at Le Bilboquet.

Walking out from the restaurant, the star's golden locks flew out behind her, as they were left out and worn in a straight style.

The actress allowed her natural beauty to shine through, wearing minimal makeup. 

Since her vacation, Jennifer has been spending time on the East Coast staying at the NYC apartment she shares with her husband. 

The couple usually reside in Bel-Air in Los Angeles, california, where they tied the not in surprise ceremony last year.
