Jennifer Garner showed her playful side in a new post shared via Instagram on Sunday.
The 53-year-old actress — who stepped out with boyfriend John Miller last week — joined a new internet trend in which social media users share imperfect images of themselves.
She engaged her audience of 17.2 million followers with a brief video full of candid, sometimes unflattering snapshots.
‘Oh, well,’ she captioned the post.
The first bit showed her looking fantastic as she primped while wearing a strapless black gown and full makeup.
‘Felt pretty but then I opened my friend’s camera roll,’ read a line across the screen before a carousel of less-than-perfect pictures emerged.

The longtime performer is mom to three kids with ex-husband Ben Affleck: Violet, 20, Fin, 17 on January 6, and Samuel, 13.
In a 2024 interview with People magazine she opened up about parenting.
‘They’re really solid right now,’ she said about her brood.
‘I’m just watching them in this new phase of life where they’re figuring out who they’re going to be and what they’re going to study. And I’m so interested in them. All the time, I’m interested in everything about them,’ the proud mom added.
She went on to admit that it’s ‘so hard’ letting them make their own choices.
‘I mean, my parents did too, and I’m so amazed by that. I have a hard time not saying, “This is what I see you as,” and “I think you should…”
‘I really have to sit on my hands,’ she explained of practicing restraint.
