Jennifer Garner is throwing it back to 13 Going on 30 for Halloween!

On Wednesday, Oct. 30, the actress, 52, shared a video on TikTok and Instagram of herself recreating the getting ready scene from her hit 2004 movie.

Played alongside Whitney Houston's song "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" — the same song used in the film — Garner applied lip gloss before adding retinol cream, powder and eyeliner, hilariously wearing her glasses to help her apply the eye makeup.

The star, who played the role of Jenna Rink in the movie, then looked confusingly at what appeared to be a pair of Spanx.

Originally sporting a white silk robe, the video switched to Garner walking out in the same colorful dress Jenna wore to her work party in the rom-com.

Pairing the dress with long white socks, dark pink sneakers and a dark grey bag across her body, Garner spun around in her bathroom before heading out.

She also wore the same butterfly necklace that her character wears in the movie, along with small hooped earrings.

"Happy 20th Halloween, Jenna Rink," her caption read. 

"You will always be Jenna Rink to me," one person commented. "I watched 13 Going on 30 for the first time when I was 13 and on my 30th birthday this year."

A second added, "My inner child got so giddy seeing you in the dress."

13 Going on 30 follows unpopular schoolgirl Jenna Rink, who makes a wish on her 13th birthday that she wants to be "30, flirty and thriving." She then wakes up as a 30-year-old woman, living the life she supposedly always wanted.

In April, Garner, Ruffalo, 56, and Greer, 49, reunited to celebrate the rom-com turning 20 years old. The trio all shared the same recorded video chat to their Instagram accounts, titled "13 Going on Boomer."
