Jennifer Garner was spotted — well, her outfit was! 

In the most literal sense, the 13 Going on 30 actress recently stepped out in a fun polka-dot midi skirt when attending Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Kansas City. We spotted the patterned piece in a series of Instagram photos and videos she shared (she accessorized with the many friendship bracelets fans gave her, too!), and instantly, we knew it was the same print other stars like Reese Witherspoon, Kate Middleton, and Nina Dobrev have also recently repped. 

To keep the look fun and fit for a concert, Garner paired the polished print with a graphic T-shirt that read “Je' t'aime.” She had on a pair of white sneakers, along with a dainty necklace and her black glasses.

Sure, the print itself is a trend right now — Katy Perry recently wore polka dots in the form of a necktie to Wimbledon, Witherspoon was seen sporting them in a recent Instagram post, and, in general, the Princess of Wales wears the classic print fairly often — but it seems Garner was able to take an already-trendy pattern and make it, well, even trendier. Midi and maxi skirts are also hot right now, as stars like Taylor Swift, Katie Holmes, Selena Gomez, are wearing the breezy style.

One of the most budget-conscious options on the list is this $26 option from Target. The pattern and colors are the same as the ones on Garner’s, but the cut looks breezier than the star’s, which appears to be more of a straight silhouette. Currently 42 percent off, the skirt is only available online, so scoop it up now.

Garner’s skirt has more traditional-style polka dots — perfectly shaped and perfectly organized in a row — but other picks incorporate the design in more abstract ways, like this Exlura High-Waisted skirt, which has more than 11,000 perfect ratings from Amazon shoppers. Scattered all around and almost at random, the polka dots feel more modern than classic, yet still on-trend. 

One shopper wrote, “I love this skirt so much. I would wear it everyday if I could! It is so cute and fits so well.” They added that “the material doesn’t wrinkle” and it feels “high quality.” You can also grab the on-sale skirt in more colors than just black: the pink, blue, and yellow options are plastered with the print, too.

Garner’s skirt had some dimension to it, as it had layers: The polka-dot fabric draped over a solid black layer. And this now-$60 Summersalt wrap skirt gives off similar vibes. For a bit of contrast (and eye candy), it has both black and white polka dots, and if you’re looking for a little “elegance on the beach,” as one shopper shared, it can also be coordinated with a matching swimsuit

So, pick your polka dot — classic, modern, multi-colored — and gear up to dress like Garner this summer. Keep scrolling to shop more styles from Nordstrom, Amazon, and more.
