Jennifer Garner was all over the place this weekend. She pap’d herself and her daughters again, of course, like always, but she also did two different red carpets. On Saturday night, it was an event called “Reel Stories, Real Lives” – Ben Affleck was not in attendance, but Russell Brand was, and he and Garner were friendly on the red carpet. The Saturday night photos are the ones where Garner is wearing a black lace dress and tuxedo jacket. Then last night she did the AFI Fest premiere of her new film, Butter. Those are the pics where she’s wearing a wrinkled, one-shoulder maternity cocktail dress by Lanvin in what seems like a very dark navy blue.

Besides the wrinkles – which she gets a pass for because she’s super-preggo – I really like the Lanvin. It’s a different choice for Garner, and I applaud her for trying something that she normally wouldn’t. I like the “sari” effect in a cocktail dress – it reminds me, in design, of that mint green Valentino sari that Jennifer Lopez wore to the Oscars… when J.Lo was with Ben. Ben wasn’t at the AFI Fest premiere either.

Should I say something about Jennifer’s bump? Much like Jessica Simpson’s it looks way more natural and real than Beyonce’s. I think Jennifer is carrying very well with this pregnancy – she seems a lot smaller than she did when she was pregnant with Seraphina. I much prefer the Lanvin dress to the black lace one too – the lace one looks like she’s a knocked-up widow.

Here’s a question: does pregnancy make your lips bigger? Because her lips look HUGE.
