Jennifer Garner, the celebrated American actress, stole the spotlight at the premiere of “The Last Thing He Said to Me” in Los Angeles. Garner dazzled in a figure-hugging white dress that accentuated her shoulders and featured a plunging neckline with elegant gold stripes.
To complete her ensemble, she chose gold stiletto sandals, complemented by sparkling diamond earrings and a selection of gemstone rings. Her hair was styled in glamorous, gently slicked-back curls and her makeup was tastefully understated with smoky eyeshadow, a soft lipstick and subtle blush.
The premiere took place on April 14, with Garner taking on a role originally offered to Julia Roberts. Reese Witherspoon, who serves as a producer on the show, was also in attendance, wearing a chic one-sleeved black mini dress paired with sleek black heels.
