Jennifer Garner is normally so casual and laid back when it comes to clothing and makeup – and I *love* that – so it’s always exciting and a bit startling to see her dress up on the red carpet.

Jennifer looked adorable in a fantastic strapless mini-dress. The dress itself was extremely pretty, dark with blue flowers trailing over it. I absolutely love it and would wear it myself if I wasn’t terrified of wardrobe malfunctions.

I appreciate that she just wants to be comfortable when she’s out with the kids, but I do love to see her looking so cute!
