Jennifer Garner was looking sporty and stylish for a stroll with a pal on Monday.
The actress, 51, was dressed in leggings and colorful trainers while out in Los Angeles.
She paired the look with a chic black winter coat, white socks pulled up to her calves, and a fashionable navy blue ‘C’ cap over her brunette locks.
The Alias alum chatted with a pal as she strode down the sidewalk, and returned to her car with a huge smile on her face.
The outing comes after Jennifer showed her support for Mark Ruffalo at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, delivering a hilarious speech for him and recreating their iconic Thriller dance from 13 Going on 30.

‘Why wasn’t I asked to do this in the first place?’ she quipped at the podium. ‘I kicked off the Mark Ruffalo rom-com era!’
Twenty years after kicking off that era with 13 Going on 30, the Hollywood besties recreated the famous Thriller dance sequence from the movie during an adorable photo-op.
With their hands raised in the air in the style of Michael Jackson’s zombies, Mark and Jennifer hilariously channeled their characters Matty and Jenna, respectively.
Jennifer even teased Mark in her speech, recounting his attempt to back out of the film after the initial rehearsal for the Thriller scene.
‘Mark went from kind of shocked that we actually had to do this to antsy to a deathly quiet to ‘bro, this is not for me,” she recalled.
Mark had recalled the moment back in 2022 during the ReelBlend podcast.
‘Whatever Matty was experiencing in that was actually just me,’ he said on the podcast.
‘[Jennifer] had to drag me onto the dance floor. It took me six hours to learn what she learned in about six minutes.

‘She was so good at dancing, and I was so bad … I almost quit the movie.’
At the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, Jennifer also commended Mark for his acting prowess,
‘To work with you, Mark, is to love you, I don’t care what anyone says,’ she jokingly began.
‘You allow yourself to be fully known by your colleagues, by the audience, by the world,’ she continued.
‘Your work on Poor Things deserves all of the awards, all of them. But the real success is in how thrilled and delighted your colleagues are to have the opportunity to lift you up and celebrate you.

‘Every time your name is called, Hollywood takes a deep collective breath and says, ‘Okay, the good and right thing has happened.’
During a 2014 episode of Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, Mark was asked about the status of his friendship his 13 Going on 30 costar.
At that moment, the actor disclosed that he and Jennifer didn’t maintain much contact after the movie was released in 2004.
‘We had a great time together, and I think we would, but then Ben [Affleck] came on the scene and that was the end of that,’ Mark quipped.
Jennifer would go on to marry Ben in 2005 and welcome three kids with the actor: Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.
The superstar couple would divorce in 2018 and Ben would go on to marry his former fiancee Jennifer Lopez.
