Jennifer Garner shares throwback from Taylor Swift concert and stuns in glam selfie as she reminisces on her year while saying goodbye to 2023

Jennifer Garner took to her main Instagram page on Saturday to share a montage of photos and clips while saying goodbye to 2023 ahead of the New Year’s holiday. 

The 13 Going On 30 actress, 51 – who recently enjoyed a festive sleigh ride through the streets of L.A. – kicked off the reel by standing on a wooden deck outdoors just as the sun was setting in the distance.

The star – who kept it casual in a short-sleeved navy shirt and denim jeans – flashed a small smile and tilted her heads up towards the orange sky. 

The camera was then also pointed upwards, and ‘2023’ appeared over the video in white lettering, along with a waving hand emoji. 

As the instrumental version of Coldplay’s hit track, A Sky Full Of Stars, played in the background, special moments throughout the year appeared in the clip, such as the mother-of-three excitedly attending a Taylor Swift concert during her Eras Tour. 

Garner could be seen wearing a short-sleeved, yellow shirt that had ‘Je t’aime’ printed on front as well as a black and white, polka dot skirt. 

She held out her arms towards the camera with a smile on her face as she flaunted her numerous friendship bracelets. 

In another snap, Jennifer put on a dazzling display in a strapless, black dress that had sparkling, rhinestone details throughout the fabric. 

The star – who sent her fans a cheerful wave in the photo – wore the ensemble when she stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in April. 

The businesswoman additionally gave her 15.1 million followers a behind-the-scenes picture during her photo shoot for Allure. 

She donned a sheer, green dress as well as closed-toed, yellow pumps for the fashionable look. For a finishing touch, the Alias alum sported short, light purple locks. 

During her interview with the outlet, the beauty opened up about motherhood and raising her three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11 – whom she shares with ex-husband, Ben Affleck. 

‘Your kids will really figure out who they are and what they are when they’re older, and most likely they will hew toward lovely.’ 

She continued, ‘I have a lot of faith in my kids. I don’t love every behavior all the time, always. It’s gnarly growing up.’ 

Jennifer also shared a photo of herself appearing in the Capital One Venture Card advertisement featuring her food company, Once Upon A Farm. 

She included a snap of herself trying a snack from the brand while inside a factory, and could be seen wearing a jacket as well as a helmet with her name on the front. 

‘We are trying to be an ally for moms,’ she told Good Morning America in October while discussing the company that offers snacks made from fresh and low sugar ingredients. 

Garner shared a short clip of herself putting her health first while enjoying a productive workout session. 

Also in the montage, she could also be seen joining picketers during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike that took place earlier this year. 

The actress shared a fun behind-the-scenes snap while filming the Netflix film, Family Switch, that was released on the streaming site last month in November. 

Jennifer, as well as her fellow co-stars, Ed Helms, Brady Noon and Emma Myers, held shocked expressions while filming a car scene.  

Jennifer also starred in the thriller miniseries, The Last Thing He Told Me, which premiered on Apple TV+ in April. 

She shared a photo while promoting the project, and also posing for a snap with co-star, Victor Garber, which the actress uploaded to Instagram in March. 

The star also included a snippet as she twirled on stage inside a lavish and spacious auditorium. 

In 2023, the beauty also had the chance to travel and she shared a few moments from trips to the roundup. In one photo, Garner struck a pose on a balcony with a scenic view that stretched out in the distance. 

She had the chance to reunite with her 13 Going On 30 co-star, Judy Greer, for her birthday and the pair paused for a memorable snap together. 

The mother-of-three also flaunted her skiing skills and paused for a picture while on a snowy slope. 

Also during her busy year, she had the chance to stop by The Kelly Clarkson Show and uploaded a photo of herself getting ready for the appearance.

Jennifer enjoyed relaxing moments during her busy schedule, and flashed a big smile while standing in a sunflower field as the sun shone down on her. 

She uploaded another image of herself snacking on a bar from Once Upon A Farm while she was getting glammed up. 

Garner spent time with loved ones, and included a few images as she spent time with family members, such as her father. 

Jennifer is an Artist Ambassador for Save The Children – which offers ‘programs address children’s unique needs, giving them a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm,’ per the official website.   

She uploaded heartwarming and lighthearted moments as she worked alongside the charity throughout 2023. 

Some of the last memories she included in the reel ahead of ringing in 2024 included Jennifer spending time on a farm picking pumpkins from the ground. 

The actress could also be seen getting a bit of fresh air while enjoying a jog on a dirt path that was surrounded by green trees.
