Jennifer Aniston got dirty for her sexy W magazine cover shoot!

The 41-year-old star's longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan tells W that she was instructed by famed photographer Steven Klein -- who also shot the infamous W cover of Jen's ex Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in 2005 -- not to wash her hair.

Look back on Brad and Jen's most memorable moments

"At the end of the first day, Steven came up to me and goes, 'Could you please ask her if she could not wash her hair tonight and just show up tomorrow?'" McMillan recalls of the April issue shoot. "I mean, she was rolling in the dirt, it was windy and she had hairspray in her hair."

Still, the Bounty Hunter actress obliged.

"We left her hair dirty," McMillan, who created Aniston's famous Friends-era Rachel cut, says. "It just created a nice, chunky texture. The key to Jennifer's hair is no matter what you do with it -- straight, frizzy, dirty -- it looks like it actually grows out of her head. She's someone for whom her hair doesn't wear her. She wears it."

Overall, her look on set -- the two-day shoot with Gerard Butler took place in Canyon Country, California -- was "not her typical blown-out hairstyle," he says. "It's a little rougher, we liked seeing the flyaways."

    She has an expression that is as though she is in pain and yet sexy and I didn't care much for Gerard Butler before but he's also very sexy in this pic. An I must say I really liked this cover shot much more than Brangelina's.

  • March 11, 2010 - 10:24am anon

    you fools, she was supposed to have that look in this pic. i mean who on this earth can still look so hot with that expression. go jen!

  • March 11, 2010 - 9:54am viewers

    I DIDN"T EXPECT THEY HAVE SUCH A CUTE SNAP TOGETHER .

  • March 11, 2010 - 9:27am atabaw

    Its a great shot of Butler, and I like Jen's make-up.... BUT she looks like she is in pain - its really hard for me to view her in "sexy" way. She has the girl next door look, not the sexy look. But kudos for trying Jen.

    rara, what do you mean she hasn't moved on? moved on from what? are you talking about brad pitt?? She HAS moved on.. she hasn't talked about him in years.. and she has been dating constantly. Does she have to get married and pop out a dozen kids to prove that she's moved on? Why is it okay for George Clooney and men in Hollywood to be a serial dater, but not women? Perhaps getting married and having kids isn't what she wants right now and she's just having fun.. it doesn't mean she hasn't moved on. I would do the same thing if I was a gorgeous, famous millionaire..

    EVER CLASSY. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT YOU HATERS, SHE IS BETTER THAN YOU

  • March 11, 2010 - 4:47am Alison

    She is trying way too hard for something.

  • March 11, 2010 - 12:40am HOTcover!!

    The same loon who types many times here is jealous because her idol is looking scarier by the week. Yes, that drug-abusing anorexic skeleton un-sexy un-cool woman-with-gills Manjawlina Jolie is looking so horrible these days, that the make-up artists and stylists at Tourist shooting must work extra hard and extra skillfully to make her look decent and presentable on camera. Poor people. Manjawlina, sexy no more, worn out definitely.

    she look like she's ready to poop
