Jennifer Garner Debuts Lightest Hair Color in Years With Gen Z-Loved Style

Jennifer Garner is entering her blonde era in 2026. Just weeks after the 13 Going on 30 alum turned heads at the 2026 Golden Globes with a gorgeous deep chestnut hue, she swapped out her signature brunette locks for her lightest hair color in years on Tuesday.

Garner’s chocolate brown hair has been her calling card throughout her 30-year career, but she kicked off February with a bold transformation at the Apple TV Press Day on February 3. Posing on the red carpet at Barker Hangar, the Alias actress looked ready for spring with chunky blonde highlights that transitioned from a golden blonde to a cool-toned platinum at the ends. To complement her refresh, Garner debuted her new hair color by cosigning the Gen Z-approved middle part and styling her hair in mermaid waves that highlighted her long layers.

The Elektra actress, who shares kids Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel with ex-husband Ben Affleck, complemented her new hair color with a taupe eyeshadow, a light pink flush on her cheeks, and nude lipstick. While her strawberry hue evoked warmer days, Garner embraced winter style with an olive green blouse featuring a distinct pussy bow, a knee-length black leather pencil skirt, and pointy-toed black leather stilettos that wrapped around her ankles.

While Garner last showed off golden highlights with a “bronde” hair change last November, she was back to a deep chocolate brown while stepping out for her first Golden Globes ceremony in 13 years.

The Pearl Harbor star, who presented an award at the star-studded event, looked every inch the leading lady with Old Hollywood-coded bombshell curls and an effortlessly elegant LBD: A custom sleeveless Cong Tri gown that took 1,300 to hand embroider its 330,000 crystal beads.
