text: Jennifer Garner was exceptionally stunning at the Oscars this year, and it got us thinking about all of her past appearances at the big show. Jen first showed up at the Academy Awards in 2003 (she was starring in the series Alias at the time), and while she looked beautiful even back then, seeing her on Sunday night was a truly jaw-dropping experience. In 2018, Jen walked the red carpet looking like she stepped straight off a runway in Paris; her bright blue Atelier Versace gown hugged in all the right places, her hair and makeup was completely on-point, and those arms, you guys? We don't know if it's sleep, water, leafy greens, or singledom, but Jen — keep doing whatever you're doing, OK girl? Take a walk down memory lane with Jen's best Oscars photos.
