With a more recent CV that includes the likes of Miracles From Heaven and Dallas Buyers Club among others, it’s not hard to see why Jennifer Garner has just been awarded her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The 46-year-old actress was accompanied by her three children with ex Ben Affleck to the ceremony, as well as her family and a selection of close friends. Rocking a simple yet chic navy dress, Jennifer looked every inch the leading lady as she beamed while the likes of Bryan Cranston, Judy Greer, and Steve Carell made speeches ahead of the star’s unveiling.

Jennifer herself made sure to tell her children that the day wasn’t just out of pure luck, telling them that ‘this is about hard work and good luck and not a whole lot else’. The actress – most famous for her five-year run in spy drama ALIAS – will next hit screens in Peppermint, an all-out action romp due out this September. Jennifer has more recently seen her name in headlines thanks to her split with husband of 12 years, Ben.
