The 13 Going On 30 actress recreated the 2004 film's getting ready sequence, complete with her character Jenna Rink's iconic dress, adding Spanx and retinol cream.

Jennifer Garner celebrated Halloween with a nod to her iconic 2004 movie 13 Going on 30, recreating one of its famous scenes.

In a playful video shared on Instagram and TikTok on October 30, the actress, now 52, revisited the getting-ready scene from the movie, set to Whitney Houston's “I Wanna Dance with Somebody.” Garner applied makeup and retinol cream, squinting through glasses as she tackled her eyeliner, just as her character Jenna Rink would.


Switching from a white robe, Garner then emerged in Jenna’s very recognizable colorful dress, paired with long socks, dark pink sneakers, and a butterfly necklace, spinning around as Jenna did in the film.

This reenactment took fans right back to 13 Going on 30, where the storyline follows Jenna, a teenager who wishes to be “30, flirty, and thriving,” and magically finds herself living that life overnight.

Earlier this year, Garner reunited with co-stars Mark Ruffalo and Judy Greer in a video titled “13 Going on Boomer” to celebrate the movie's 20th anniversary, bringing nostalgic joy to fans of the beloved rom-com.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
