Everybody pack it in. Yes, even you, Heidi Klum, because Jennifer Garner has just won Halloween with her recreation of Jenna Rink’s iconic “Thriller” dress from 13 Going on 30.
In a video posted to her Instagram and TikTok, Garner recreated the entire getting ready scene—just updated for 2024. In the getting ready scene from the original movie, Jenna struggles to apply fake eyelashes, applies several layers of bright pink blush, and appears confused by a lacy black-and-red thong while Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” plays in the background.

But while Jenna Rink paired her dress with strappy heels and an updo, Garner this time opted for sneakers and tube socks with her hair down.

Now, I’m just patiently awaiting a follow-up of Jennifer Garner leading the “Thriller” dance.
