’13 Going On 30’ Premiered 16 Years Ago And We’re Still Thinking About These Iconic Jenna Rink Outfits

To celebrate the film's anniversary, we're remembering its most fashionable moments

You know what they say, what goes around comes back around – especially when it comes to fashion. Over the last year, we’ve seen the trends of the late 90s and early 2000s reignited by today’s favourite ‘it’ girls.

We’ve welcomed the return of the shoulder bag, praised the cropped cardigan and adopted the corset and other lingerie-inspired looks into our daily wardrobes. Which probably explains why on the 16th anniversary of the iconic cult movie 13 Going On 30, my appreciation and love for Jenna Rink’s outfit selection couldn’t be greater.

Speak to anyone who grew up in the early 2000s and it’s clear that Jennifer Garner’s character in the hit rom-com had a serious impact. The 2004 film tells the story of 13-year-old Jenna Rink, who wants nothing more than to be older than she is – namely, “30, flirty and thriving”. A wish we could all once relate to.

Navigating the world as both a 13-and-30-year-old at once, Jenna rights her wrongs and reunites with her childhood best friend Matt Flamhaff (Mark Ruffalo), all while wearing an incredible collection of outfits. 

From floral cap-sleeve sun dresses to rose-pink cardigan ensembles and of course, the history-making rainbow babydoll dress, we’ve rounded up the most memorable looks from 13 Going On 30 we’re still loving today.
