Jennifer Garner made a dazzling return to the Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan. 11, reminding everyone why she’s a Hollywood icon — and making us all curious about her skincare routine.
The Last Thing He Told Me star, 53, lit up the Beverly Hilton in a sleeveless black dress adorned with light-catching beaded fringe. She completed the timeless yet modern ensemble with pointed-toe heels, sparkling drop earrings, and glamorous side-parted curls that framed her radiant face.
Garner last graced the Globes red carpet in 2013, attending with then-husband Ben Affleck in a stunning burgundy Vivienne Westwood Couture sequin gown. Over the years, she has earned four Golden Globe nominations and took home the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series Drama in 2002 for Alias.
Her appearance comes shortly after she opened up about her “hard” breakup with Affleck, 53. The couple split in 2015 after 10 years of marriage and finalized their divorce three years later. “You have to be smart about what you can and can’t handle, and I could not handle what was out there. But what was out there was not what was hard. The fact of it is what was hard. The actual breaking up of a family is what was hard. Losing a true partnership and friendship is what was hard,” she told Marie Claire UK.
Garner also reflected on the importance of community after her high-profile split. “I make a big, concerted effort to see my people as much as I can, because that’s what matters. That’s where your resilience is: it’s in your relationships and in the people who carry you through.”
On co-parenting with Affleck, she shared, “…That I’m able to co-parent at this point in time with peace and equanimity and a partnership that I didn’t know I would ever get back to.” She added a hopeful message for women navigating breakups: “Time is the opportunity. Time is the opportunity to heal. Time is the opportunity to forgive, to move on and to find a new way to be friends.”
