The 44-year-old mother-of-three wore a red-hot Alaïa dress and proved she could still give women half her age a serious run for their money.

The form-fitting ruby-red dress hugged her curves in all the right places. It featured a v-neck fitted bodice that flared out to a pleated skirt with an intricate laser-cut hemline.

Jennifer allowed her toned figure to do the talking and opted to style the sleeveless dress with minimal jewelry — a couple of bracelets and a ring.

The “13 Going on 30” star wore her glossy brunette locks down in gorgeous waves and highlighted her striking features with dark eye makeup, a hint of blush, and a swipe of pink lipstick.

Jennifer matched her Alaia dress with a pair of studded black suede sandals from the same brand, which exposed her overlapping pinky toe.

Jennifer Garner has a condition called brachymetatarsia, a rare genetic condition that causes one or more of the metatarsal bones in the foot to be shorter than the others. This can cause the toes to overlap.

The condition is not painful in most cases, but it can sometimes cause discomfort, especially when wearing shoes. In severe cases, brachymetatarsia can lead to problems with walking and balance.

More common in women than men, Jennifer Garner has not spoken publicly about her brachymetatarsia, but she has been photographed on several occasions with her toe in an overlapping position.

Jennifer’s Alaia sandals feature button-like straps, gunmetal pyramid studs, back-zip fastenings, and 4.5-inch heels.
