Five-Star Weekend actress Jennifer Garner always stuns with her event looks—while her everyday aesthetic gives “practical chic,” her formal ensembles lean quiet luxury. Recently, for example, Jennifer stepped out to celebrate Sag Harbor's Bay Street Theater's 35th anniversary, and she wore a breezy dress that's equal parts polished and practical—and it's surprisingly easy to recreate.
The star of Jennifer’s evening outfit? A baby blue magritte linen dress from luxury brand Gabriela Hearst. Essentially, it’s long a spaghetti strap dress that falls to your ankles, and it’s got little details that easily elevate the look, including long pleats, a structured bodice, and the fact that it’s made with a cashmere-silk blend.
Jennifer mostly let the dress speak for itself—she paired it with chunky brown sandal heels and kept the accessories simple with small silver hoop earrings and a beaded necklace.
If you wanted Jennifer’s exact dress, it’s still in stock—but only three sizes remain, and it costs over $2,000. Luckily, we found a few similar options for around $50, and we think they’re nearly identical.
For instance, this dress from Mango is on sale for 50% off and gives a very similar vibe to Jennifer’s with it's pleated-front panelling. And this under $60 option from Amazon omits the hidden button-front but keeps the breezy A-line cut in the same shade of baby blue that Jennifer wore.
My personal favorite? I'd go with this on-sale Ted Baker number from Nordstrom Rack before it sells out. It has front pleating just like Jennifer's dress and is made from a lightweight linen blend that's perfect for warmer weather.
We love how versatile this style is—the timeless silhouette makes it appropriate for pretty much any occasion, whether you use it as a wedding guest dress or wear it casually with sneakers.
