Jennifer Garner, 51, was glowing as she took the stage to do a reading at the L.A. Times Festival of Books.
The Alias alum wore a light blue button-down and cropped light-wash jeans with a bright white blazer.
She slipped her feet into a pair of caramel brown pumps and a brown belt with gold accents encircled her slim waist.
Her chestnut brown locks fell into a tousled curl, while she kept her complexion lightly brushed with soft makeup.
The mom of three did a reading from the book The Last Thing He Told Me, by Laura Dave.
Celebrating books: Jennifer Garner, 51, was glowing as she took the stage to do a reading at the L.A. Times Festival of Books
Best seller: The Alias alum wore a light blue button-down and cropped light-wash jeans with a bright white blazer
Garner currently stars in and produces the AppleTV+ adaptation of the best seller.
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly earlier this month, Garner expressed how badly she had wanted to play Hannah, and the lengths she had taken to land the role.
‘I went for it,’ she admitted. ‘And I stayed up all night writing letters, like all night, like saw the sunrise, just writing and rewriting letters and sending these letters out. And then the next night, I did it again.’
The IMDB synopsis of the show reads: ‘A woman forms an unexpected relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter while searching for the truth about why her husband has mysteriously disappeared.’
Jennifer’s husband in the series, Owen, is played by Game Of Thrones alum Nikolaj, and her teenage stepdaughter is portrayed by Angourie Rice.
‘I haven’t heard from Owen in 24 hours,’ Hannah says of her husband, who goes missing and leaves a note asking her to protect her stepdaughter Bailey.
The thrilling trailer for the series digs into the mystery, with one man telling her ‘your husband is not who you think he is.’
The series also reunites Garner – who was spotted on the set of the series last spring – with her Alias co-star and one of her real life BFFs, Victor Garber.
‘I may not know why your father did what he did, but I know who he is,’ Hannah says to her stepdaughter.
‘Why are you making him sound like some criminal mastermind,’ Garner’s character asks someone as she investigate’s her husband’s disappearance.
Laura Dave created and adapted the seven part series with her Oscar winning husband, Spotlight screenwriter Josh Singer.
Garner produces the series alongside Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter for their production company Hello Sunshine.

‘The show is really a love story between two women: A girl who does not know how to have a mother, and a woman who does not know how to be a mother,’ the actress further expressed to the outlet,’ Garner explained.
‘And they start out in an adversarial role with each other, and their lives are completely blown up in such a way the stakes could not be more high, that they have to start working together as a team, whether they like it or not.’
The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books is a free, public festival celebrating the written word.
