She looks kind of sad in some of her photos, I hope all is well.

Aww maybe she misses violet? She looks like she doesn’t want to be there.

# 3

That dress is BIG, LONG. And there is Renee in that dress like the model.

This isn’t her thing, she’s not into fashion, she doesn’t really know how to “work it”. I’m sure she’d rather be at home in sweats than at this event, but hey you signed up for it you better show up. She seems so much more self conscious now since she got married and gave birth, there was a time during the early part of her Alias days where she always was one of the best dressed and she seemed into it, not now. I guess she’s got more important things in life. Hopefully Ben’s insecurities haven’t rubbed off on her.

Hair looks a mess and the dress is big. The front is nice but the back looks as if the designer has not finished cutting the dress.

I’m not sure if she looks sad, but her hair definitely could have been done better. I’m also not too sure about the dress. She looks more insecure in the outfit than sad to me.

# 7

Does someone know or can find out please, who the earrings are by?

Wow, I wouldn’t recognize her without the photos being labeled.

Too much dress. Hair is awful. She looks odd.

Ben’s insecurities? Fill me in.
And yeah, the hair is blaah.

Actually re looking at the pics. It seems to be she is pregnant again. She has a belly and in the second pic she has her arms in front hiding her belly. If she isn’t pregnant again then she is insecure about the extra weight and worrying that people will speculate like I just did lol.

There is a NSFW n-slip in the 5th picture….she deserves better.

Ben has said many times himself in interviews that he is perceived as cocky and arrogant but in reality he is a bundle of insecurities. Jen has always been confident and she has always carried herself really well in events like this. Maybe it is the dress, maybe she hates it, whatever it is she just looks off, or maybe I have too much time on my hands?

her hair looks greasy she look’s like crap she is trying to hard to much dress and that hair what a mess

She has no reason to hide her belly because she’s not carrying extra weight so I doubt that’s what her insecurities are about. She doesn’t feel confident in the dress it seems, and with good reason, it doesn’t do much for her.

I think this isn’t her thing, but she wanted to be an actress so . . .

Thanks Alison.

JLO WAS THERE TOO! Maybe that’s it. How can you not see the extra weight lula? It’s not the dress because it goes over the shape of her stomach that dress looks like it would lay flat but because she has some extra weight it takes the shape of her stomach. To me her arms in front signal that sh eis hiding something. I don’t think that was a nipple slip in pic 5 looks like one of those nipple gaurds to avoid a nipple slip.

I think she has a bun in that oven….

I’m not in the habit of checking for baby bumps on celebs. Also, she’s slim. She has no boobs really, and she always had a thick middle to me because she lacks a waist. But it could be a pregnancy who knows, I just doubt until there’s an announcement.

I always took an arm cross like that to mean a bit shy or insecure. I just don’t think she looks comfortables, who knows why. I can’t read minds or predict the future.

AH Lula I thought you could at least one.

Sophie,

I don’t understand what you mean.

It’s a gorgeous dress just not on her. Her hair doesn’t look like it’s been washed. I still love her though….

Sweet Swede @ 05/08/2007 at 2:28 am

What? Did she not have time to do her hair and makeup? With a dress like that you can’t look like you just got out of bed and didn’t have proper time for a shower.

The dress is too extravagant for her. She doesn’t have the ego to pull it off. Someone talked her into wearing it and you can see she’s regretting it. She’s probably not too happy about La Lopez being there. You can see she’s unsettled.

Lula - read minds or predict the future. (heeheehe sarcasm)
Sweet Swede, who knows maybe something with her kid came up. However she should have been ready. It seems like a pretty big event.

Sweet Swede @ 05/08/2007 at 2:59 am

Sophie - Let’s hope so for her sake since that would be one of very few legitimate excuses.

Pregnant? Na… When she was preggers with Violet she had big boobs. Now she has none. She always has this belly thing , she just has no waist. And in this dress with this hair she looks like a Drag queen.

Faithinher @ 05/08/2007 at 6:42 am

I thought the dress looked nice on her, but the hair definitely kills the overall look.

MissCarla @ 05/08/2007 at 7:14 am

She can do no wrong in my book, love her.

The dress would be great if only Valentino would stop attaching those fugly capes in the back of them! This looks just like one of her awards show dresses a few years ago, though it a different color, but it still had that hideous thing tacked onto the back of it. Ugh!

Overdone. She’s talked before about being in the worst shape of her life and except the Oscars right after she had her baby, her fashion has tanked every time she’s dressed up.

Her body language is definitely showing that she’s not comfortable. I think the dress is too much and she’s not wearing it…it’s wearing her.

The reason why she has her arms in front of her like that is because the dress is falling, the top is too big and she is conscious of having a wardrobe malfunction. That would make anybody uncomfortable. Jen needs to take the time to have proper fittings instead of winging it all the time, the result is usually awful, case in point.

I think she is still in mommy mode and not interested in being there, which I dont blame her. She looks more comfortable playing with Violet at the park. I think her face always looks good, she has those cute dimples and great lips!

Jennifer Garner looks nice. Her hair and makeup looks okay too.

She looks great! But it looks like she miss Ben and Violet. And that is way too big for her.

I am a big Jen Garner fan and have always loved her in red but theres just something not right with the whole look. She looks just I’m not sure,different. Maybe shes not feeling well I don’t know.

Her make-up was great. For hair-do, I don’t know maybe it’s fashion now. But the dress was awful. On top of it, JLo was there and she looked great again.

If she was pregnant, she could have bigger breasts.

She’s so beautiful!

I like her dress!

But on one of the picture she looks sad
=’(

dfasddagsd @ 05/08/2007 at 1:14 pm

Maybe I’m the only one, but I think she looks gorgeous!

That dress should have been dark blue or black. NOT red!

she looks like gorgeous

JEN IS BUCKY BUCKAROO! @ 05/08/2007 at 7:43 pm

augghgh…… grease unkempt hair………… and what’s up with her pose? Like she really don’t give a damn. The dress would look better on someone else.

To Lila and anyone else who thinks her hair looks unwashed, either your are working with a very inferior monitor (try investing in better quality equipment) or perhaps a visit to the eye doctor is in order. Her hair appears very silky and shiny on my screen. Also she looks radiant and beautiful. Her dress is lovely and the color is very flattering. She has every reason to hold her head up high and bask in her good fortune. Not only is she beautiful inside and out, she is blessed with a beautiful baby girl and a gorgeous husband who adores her. She is a very talented and down to earth person. I love her on the red carpet; in the park and at the farmers’ market.

Jlo would have rocked that dress. it is just to much dress for gardner.

She makes Ben look so old and he is only 35.
