Jennifer Garner has revealed why she hasn't attended the Met Gala in over a decade. In a video for Vogue's "Beauty Secrets" series, the actress explained that she found the event "a little scary" and hasn't been back since her one appearance in 2007. Garner did, however, have a positive experience at the event, where she wore a "magical red Valentino gown" as the designer's date. She isn't the only celebrity to have sworn off the annual A-list event, with the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Demi Lovato also expressing their dislike for it.

Garner previously reflected on her Met Gala experience in a 2018 Instagram post, sharing that being sewn into a dress made her appreciate using the bathroom alone. In the Vogue video, Garner also shared her beauty routine, emphasizing the importance of sunscreen and revealing that she has passed on the habit to her three children with ex-husband Ben Affleck. The video also featured Garner's favorite beauty products, including Westman Atelier's Vital Skin Foundation Stick and Neutrogena products.

She also joked about her indulgence, Hermès Rouge Matte Lipstick.
