Jennifer Garner joining the 'imperfect photo' trend is the most relatable thing you’ll ever see

Jennifer Garner is embracing the internet’s latest “imperfect photo” trend, and she’s doing it in the most Jennifer Garner way possible. In a playful Instagram video, the actress paired her glamorous look with a string of candid, less-than-perfect snapshots.

Showing off her playful side on Instagram right before the end of the year, on Sunday, December 28th, Jennifer shared a brief video of herself glowing in a plunging, tight, figure-hugging black strapless dress, which she complemented with long bedazzled earrings. A line over Jennifer's glamour introduction read: "Felt pretty, but then I opened my friend's camera roll."

But moments later, the clip cut to her less-than-perfect snaps. One photo showed the Pearl Harbour star napping on a couch while her pedicure dried. Another image was of her posing with Nancy Clancy, the protagonist of Disney Junior's Fancy Nancy, at a Disney theme park. And Jennifer also included a clip of her pouring potato chips from the packet into her mouth, as well as throwback high school-era portraits.

The 13 Going on 30 performer captioned the fun post with, "Oh, well." Despite the non-perfect shots, Jennifer's celebrity pals were still in awe of her natural beauty in the upload's comments section. 

Singer Debbie Gibson, 55, penned, "You on a bad day is better than most." Legally Blonde actress Selma Blair, 53, typed: "You are perfection." Jingle All the Way star, 69-year-old Rita Wilson, who is married to 69-year-old Toy Story actor Tom Hanks, wrote, "The best because JOY is all over this!" And Dancing with the Stars choreographer Daniella Karagach Pashkova, 33, left, "You're perfect."

Elsewhere, Jennifer, who is in a long-term on-off relationship with businessman John Miller, credits staying active with younger people and consistently wearing sunscreen in her twenties for helping her maintain a youthful appearance. 

The actress, who has daughter Violet, 17, as well as sons Fin, 17, and 13-year-old Samuel with her 53-year-old ex-husband, actor Ben Affleck, added to Harper's Bazaar in June, "I want to age. I want to live to be 100. I don’t expect to look at 100 like I look today. I want to wear every single bit of those 100 years and feel great about them."

And in an interview with People in March 2024, Jennifer also reiterated her message about embracing age. The star said, "Take care of yourself, but don’t be scared. Aging is a gift."
