Garner’s glamorous Golden Globes comeback
Jennifer Garner made a high-glam return to the Golden Globes on Sunday, attending the ceremony for the first time since 2013. The actress stepped onto the red carpet as a presenter, turning heads in a striking little black dress from Cong Tri that combined classic silhouette with show-stopping sparkle.
The gown: 1,300 hours and 330,000 crystal beads
Garner’s column silhouette gown featured a tiered design and immense hand-embroidered detail. The Cong Tri piece reportedly took 1,300 hours to craft and used 330,000 crystal beads to achieve its shimmering finish. The effect was a modern, understated LBD elevated by couture-level embellishment.
She kept accessories minimal to let the dress shine: simple black pointed-toe flats and diamond earrings completed the look, underscoring a mix of comfort and red-carpet polish.
A fresh beauty moment: the side part
On the beauty front, Garner switched up her signature middle part for a side part — a style more commonly embraced by the millennial set. Her chestnut hair looked glossy and restrained, framing luminous skin and bronzed cheeks. Makeup leaned glowy and natural with a pink lip, balancing the gown’s heavy embellishment.
The subtle hairstyle change stood out precisely because fans rarely see her with a side part, giving the overall look a refreshed, modern vibe while preserving Garner’s classic elegance.
Presenting role and Golden Globes history
Garner was on the presenter roster for the 83rd Golden Globe Awards. Her last appearance at the show was in 2013 alongside then-husband Ben Affleck, and she has a long history with the Globes: she won Best Actress in a Television Series – Drama in 2002 for Alias and made her Globes debut the same year.
Her 2013 appearance remains memorable for a shimmery red strapless gown and an effortless updo; this year’s return leaned into refined glamour and couture craft.
Who else was presenting and nominated
The evening’s presenters included Julia Roberts, Amanda Seyfried, Colman Domingo, Dakota Fanning, George Clooney, Hailee Steinfeld, Pamela Anderson, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Queen Latifah and Zoë Kravitz. Top nominees this year included Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo for Wicked: For Good, Timothée Chalamet, Jessie Buckley and Michael B. Jordan.
Garner’s comeback combined a headline-making couture gown with a quietly bold beauty shift — a reminder of how small changes can refresh a familiar star on the biggest red carpets.
