Jennifer Garner recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the beloved movie “13 Going on 30” by dressing up as her character, Jenna Rink, for Halloween. Garner donned the iconic multicolored Versace minidress from the “Thriller” dance sequence and recreated the getting-ready montage from the film in a fun Instagram clip.
In the video, Garner added a modern twist to Jenna’s beauty routine, showcasing her current regimen as a 52-year-old. As she applied retinol, eye makeup, and slipped into Spanx, Garner playfully acknowledged the passage of time since the film’s release. Her caption expressed her nostalgia for the character: “Happy 20th Halloween, Jenna Rink. 💕”
While Jenna originally paired the dress with blue heels and a pink shoulder bag, Garner opted for neon pink running sneakers, cream socks, and a gray crossbody bag. She did, however, include a sentimental touch by wearing the same beaded teal butterfly necklace from the movie.
Earlier in April, Garner, along with her co-stars Mark Ruffalo and Judy Greer, reunited for a Zoom call to commemorate the film’s anniversary. The trio expressed their gratitude to fans who have supported the movie over the years, acknowledging the enduring love for “13 Going on 30.” Despite the passage of time, the cast remains grateful for the continued support and affection from viewers.
Garner’s playful Halloween tribute not only honored the film’s milestone but also delighted fans with a nostalgic throwback to the beloved character of Jenna Rink. The recreation of Jenna’s iconic look served as a heartwarming reminder of the enduring legacy of “13 Going on 30” and its place in the hearts of fans worldwide.
