Jennifer Garner is showing once again why she’s considered one of Hollywood’s most down-to-earth stars—this time by hopping on a viral trend with a dose of humor and humility.
The actress, 51, shared a post on Instagram Saturday joining the popular “Felt Pretty” trend, which humorously contrasts a confident selfie with an unexpected—and often unflattering—photo from someone else’s camera roll.
“Felt pretty but then I opened my friend’s camera roll,” Garner captioned the carousel, which begins with a glowing, smiling selfie before cutting to a mid-laugh shot where her face is hilariably mid-expression.
In the second photo, Garner’s eyes are crinkled with laughter, her head tilted back in a moment of pure, unfiltered joy. The side-by-side perfectly captures the playful spirit of the trend—and Garner’s willingness to not take herself too seriously.
Fans Spot a Sweet Resemblance
Almost immediately, commenters pointed out how much Garner looked like her eldest daughter, Violet Affleck, 18, in the photos—especially in the genuine, smiling shot.
“That second pic is 100% Violet,” one fan wrote, while others added, “She is your twin!” and “You and Violet are carbon copies!”

Garner often shares glimpses of her close bond with her three children—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—whom she co-parents with ex-husband Ben Affleck.
Why the “Felt Pretty” Trend Resonates
The trend, which has taken over TikTok and Instagram in recent weeks, resonates because it pokes fun at the pressure to look perfect in every photo. Instead, it celebrates real, unposed moments—something Garner’s post captures perfectly.
By participating, Garner continues to nurture her relatable public persona, one built on warmth, authenticity, and a good sense of humor.
A Star Who Keeps It Real
Whether she’s sharing baking videos, advocating for early childhood education, or posting playful photos like these, Garner has long been adored for keeping her feed genuine and grounded—a refreshing contrast in the often-curated world of celebrity Instagram.
Her latest post racked up thousands of likes and comments within hours, with fans praising her for being “so real” and “truly the best.”
