Looking spec-tacular! Jennifer Aniston wears dark framed glasses as she shows a bit of leg at Image Maker Awards

She's known for embodying the girl next door.

But Jennifer Aniston showed another side to her sartorial sensibilities as she sported some thick dark framed glasses on Tuesday at the Marie Claire Image Maker Awards in Los Angeles.

The 47-year-old made sure, however, to show some leg in a little black dress as she took the stage as a presenter.

What a spectacle: Jennifer Aniston showed another side to her sartorial sensibilities as she sported some thick dark framed glasses on Tuesday at the Marie Claire Image Maker Awards in Los Angeles

She took the stage to present a gong to her close friend, hairstylist Chris McMillan, with the icon award.

'Chris is a true artist, and after years of working together, he's become part of my family. He has a remarkable eye and attention to detail. I love watching him work; I love his hands; I love his heart,' Jennifer has said of the artist. 

With her caremel locks worn in a sleek style, the actress looked chic in her specs teamed with sheer black tights and black strappy heels. 

She mingled with the likes of Jessica Alba, Cindy Crawford, and Kylie Jenner at the bash which was held at Catch LA in West Hollywood.

Meanwhile her hunky husband Justin Theroux left the Golden Globes as early as he could - so he could watch it on TV with his wife.

The 45-year-old actor was one of the presenters at the ceremony on Sunday but was keen to get away from the Beverly Hilton hotel as soon as possible in order to join Jennifer and their friends for a viewing party in their pyjamas.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at HBO's Globes afterparty, he said: 'I'm actually trying to get home.'

The Leftovers actor said: 'I almost skipped this interview because I got my girl and some friends in their pyjamas who have delayed the show an hour so I can get back and watch the end of it with them.'

He admitted it was a very strange experience skipping the red carpet and just arriving for his spot instead of sitting and watching the ceremony as a guest.

'It's the first time I've come to the show and have not done the red carpet,' the actor revealed.

Adding: 'I just came to present, so I kind of did the dumb thing where I just showed up to present, and you kind of get rushed into the back door.' 

He also commented that the 'energy' of the room took him by surprise when he stepped on stage alongside Anna Kendrick.

'And you're not really prepared for the size of the event, and all the energy in the room,' Justin said.

Presenters: The Leftovers actor went to the awards show solely to present; he and Anna Kendrick presented The Night Manager star Tom Hiddleston with Best Actor in a TV series

Justin and Anna both presented The Night Manager star Tom Hiddleston with Best Actor in a TV series.

He added: 'So I kind of came in and was not prepared. There's a benefit to walking and sitting down, having some food, and then continuing on.'

Jennifer and Justin began dating in May 2011, got engaged just over a year later and tied the knot at their Bel-Air estate in August 2015.

Dedicated: He said Jennifer, 47, had delayed the show an hour in order for Justin to make it back on time to watch
