Jennifer Garner Says She’s Ruled Out BotoxâBut Not a Future Facelift

Jennifer Garner is a woman who knows what she wants. And doesn't want. At least right now. Chatting with Kylie Kelce on her podcast Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce, the star of The Last Thing He Told Me shared what cosmetic procedures she's currently willing and unwilling to get, but was also candid about not knowing how she may feel down the line.
Kelce brought up that Garner had once said she wants to be able to move her forehead because it's âsuch a big part of my face.â And the actor confirmed she still very much feels this way.
âI mean, of course, I've tried Botox and all that, but it takes very little to completely freeze my forehead,â she says. âAnd then I just feel so conspicuous, like I've got a walking billboard. I might as well get a tattoo of something, you know, across it. It's horrible. So no, the Botox in the forehead, unfortunately, is not for me.â
But that doesn't mean she doesn't sometimes take issue with her lines. âI have creasy wrinkles, and I'm justâthey're going to have to just be there. So sometimes I get bangs,â she says (though, we ought to note, she currently isn't keeping her forehead covered with any fringe). âWomen have been doing it forever.â
She isn't against seeing a dermatologist for some cosmetic poking, however. âDon't think that I don't have something in there,â she says, touching her cheeks, and assuring Kelce she hasn't had any actual surgery. "Once a year, I go see someone, and I'm like, do it. I'm a pincushion.â It's unclear if Garner means she gets filler, microneedling, or something else that calls for a pincushion metaphor, but we appreciate her candor nonetheless.
âI can't really tell the difference afterâthat's what I've noticed. The more you spend on a dermatologist doing a bunch of things to your face, the less you can tell that they've done it. And somehow that's a good thing,â she says, laughing about how she just wants to look subtly refreshed. âI don't know why, but I will go pay them so much money to say, 'I don't want to see it.'â
And her kids really don't want to see it. âMy kids are like, 'Mom, promise us you'll never get a facelift.' And I say, âI am unlikely to rush toward a facelift,ââ she says. âAnd yet, I refuse to make that promise, because I am me today, and I don't know how I'm gonna feel.â

Viola Davis Wore Two Completely Different Bobs in as Many Days â See Photos

As an actor, Viola Davis definitely has serious range. I just think about her in Doubt versus her role in The Woman Kingâit's mindblowing that that's the same person. So I guess you could say the bob is the Viola Davis of hairstyles. It shows up in incredibly diverse ways, and it always impresses. A bob is never just a bob. And Davis herself demonstrated that over the weekend when she attended at the NAACP Image Awards and the Actor Awardsâjust a day apartâin two distinctly different bobs.
On Friday, Davis was honored with the Chairman's Award at the Image Awards, which honors excellence, impact, and advocacy. She wowed the audience with both her inspirational acceptance speech and gorgeous, strapless Marmar Halim burgundy gown and cape. Makeup artist Sergio LĂłpez-Rivera even matched her lips to the rich color.
But it was her sharp bob, styled by Jamika Wilson, that literally and figuratively topped off the look. Styled perfectly straight with blunt bangs, the subtly highlighted style couldn't have looked more glamorous. And it's not as intimidating as it may look, according to hairstylist Olya Iudina, who previously told Allure, âIf I have a client who wants to cut a bob the first time, I would recommend this one, since itâs simple and very easy to style.â

No matter how amazing she looked, Davis knows it's downright gauche for an A-lister to wear exactly the same hairstyle to another award show just 24 hours later. But even though just a little adjustment would have been fine, she went in a completely different direction for the Actor Awards while still staying decidedly in bob territory.
Wearing a gorgeous, off-the-shoulder, teal gown, Davis switched to a wavy A-line bob, meaning it's a little shorter in the back than in the front. Wilson gave it soft yet sculptural waves that conveyed the retro 1920s and 1930s theme of the night, deeply parting it to the side to give it some extra drama.

âThis style adds structure and drama without sacrificing elegance, making it a favorite for those who want a modern yet timeless look,â stylist Rogerio Cavalcante previously told Allure. âAsk your stylist for a precise, graduated cut with a clean angle from back to front. Whether worn straight or with a slight wave, the A-line bob always delivers a bold, sophisticated edge.â
And there's no clearer proof of that than Viola Davis.
