Jennifer Garner looked as stylish as ever while stepping out to celebrate her 49th birthday at a dinner with friends in New York City.

The mother-of-three added a long gold necklace with a round hanging pendant to her monochromatic ensemble.

The outfit showed off the Jennifer’s trim figure as she walked out of the restaurant and glanced to her side. 

The stunning brunette’s bangs were swept back from her forehead and she covered the lower half of her face with a black mask.

Garner also sported matching navy shoes with yellow soles as she headed outside on a rainy day in Manhattan. She appeared to be holding her slacks slightly up at her hips to avoid the hems dragging on the wet sidewalk.

Earlier in the day, the 13 Going On 30 star was seen doing a bit of shopping before grabbing a lunch at Sarabeth’s with some friends.  

On Instagram she had revealed that her ‘birthday wish’ was for her followers to join her for a dance party to benefit Save The Children and the Equal Justice Initiative. 

She also revealed that she would be donating $10,049 to each organization ‘in honor of 49 lucky, wonderful years.’ 

The Yes Day actress frequently takes to social media to educate her 10.7M followers on causes near and dear to her heart.

Though she took some time away from acting to grow her organic line of baby food, Once Upon a Farm, and raise she and Ben Affleck’s kids, she recently starred in Netflix’s Yes Day. 

Additionally she is set to reunite with 13 Going On 30 co-star Mark Ruffalo in the sci-fi film The Adam Project.   

The actress spoke to the Hollywood Reporter about re-dedicating herself to her craft now that her children Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, nine, are a bit older. ‘It’s important that I be part of the equation,’ she shared. 

In addition, she revealed that as she approaches 50 she wants to do more producing so she can push narratives and greenlight projects that are suitable for more seasoned actresses like herself. 

Speaking about still being a household name all these years later she confessed: ‘It’s a very hungry, greedy career and a very unforgiving one…and for someone who has chosen family way more often than I probably should have, I can’t believe I’m still here.’
