The Mystery of the Missing Versace Dress Jennifer Garner Famously Wore In ‘13 Going on 30’ Is Fascinating—and Somehow Involves ‘Sex and the City’

Jennifer Garner in "13 Going on 30".

Many moments stick with us from the classic 13 Going on 30—which turned 20 years old on April 23—but one of the standouts? When the character Jenna Rink (played by Jennifer Garner) dances to “Thriller” in one of the coming-of-age movie’s most beloved scenes. The striped Versace minidress Garner wears in it has become “one of the most recreated Halloween costumes and sought-after looks in movie history,” People reports—but if you’re looking for the original Versace dress itself that Garner wore in 2004 to end up in a museum somewhere, you’re out of luck: it has been lost forever, the film’s costume designer Susie DeSanto said.
