Jennifer Aniston's style icons: Diaz and Blanchett

It's rare for actresses to pay each other compliments, but the Friends star apparently has no qualms in praising her stylish colleagues.

Jennifer Aniston has admitted that she gets her style inspiration from two biggest fashion icons -- Cameron Diaz and Cate Blanchett.

The actress, 41, always looks fabulous on the red carpet and is praised for her classically elegant style.

"I love seeing Cameron Diaz on the red carpet," Stuff.co.nz quoted her as telling Extra.

"I think she's gorgeous and has a lot of style," she added.

The star went on to praise Australian actress Cate, 41, who is famed for her unusual outfit choices and ethereal appeal.

She said the blonde beauty is so inspirational because she always looks "interesting and unique."

Jennifer's outfits often reflect a mixture of Cameron's, 37, laidback surfer-girl style and Cate's edgier haute couture image.
