Jennifer Garner Goes for Effortless Glam in Colorblock Dress at Daily Front Row’s Fashion Los Angeles Awards

Jennifer Garner is bringing her signature classic glamour to the red carpet yet again.

The actress, 52, attended the Daily Front Row’s 8th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards on Sunday, April 28, to present the hairstylist of the year award her to her own hairstylist (and close friend) Adir Abergel.

The star looked radiant in a colorblock Rosie Assoulin dress with sky blue off-the-shoulder bodice and deep red skirt. She accessorized with Briony Raymond jewelry, strappy red heels and a red clutch.

Her hair was styled into her signature chic side-swept waves and she kept her glam soft and simple.

At the awards show, Garner spoke fondly of friend of more than 20 years while presenting him with the award for hairstylist of the year. Their relationship began when Abergel styled Garner’s hair for a magazine shoot more than two decades ago and he’s been working with her ever since.

When the pair spoke with PEOPLE in 2022, they gushed over each other, saying they’d been through some of their toughest and happiest moments with each other.

“Adir’s gotten me through some of the worst days — just messy days,” Garner said. “It doesn’t even have to be something huge, but it’s still a hard day for me.” In return Abergel said Garner has helped him when he “needed a bit of love” and called her “one of my favorite humans on the planet.”

Garner’s appearance at the awards show comes as she celebrates the 20th anniversary of her cult-classic rom-com, 13 Going on 30, in which her character Jenna Rink is magically transported into her future self as a 30-year-old fashion editor.

“It was magical,” Garner told PEOPLE about her “many favorite memories” of working on the film.

She added that while “it wasn’t a huge movie,” for her and her costars (including Mark Ruffalo and Judy Greer),“it was the biggest paycheck any of us had ever had, even though it was not crazy.”

“It was such a step up,” Garner recalled. “We didn’t know if it would be any good or not, but we were all so in it to win it.”

13 Going on 30 is revered not just for its lovable characters but for its standout fashion moments. One particularly memorable outfit is Garner’s multicolored Versace minidress that she wears during the film’s iconic “Thriller” dance number.

In an interview with PEOPLE, the film’s costume designer, Susie DeSanto, shared that the dress was actually picked somewhat hastily as the team was short on time.

“Culture took the dress and went with it,” DeSanto said of the dress’ enduring popularity over the past 20 years. “The reason I think people fall in love with it is because of Jen. I think anybody else in that role, it would’ve just been a cute movie, but I think right then she was the exact right person with the right energy and ability to tap into her youthfulness.”
