If you just glanced at Jennifer Garner’s latest Instagram—a Rolling Stone cover that pictures her in a leather two-piece showing off her toned abs—you’d think the photo was taken yesterday. In reality, though, the cover graced newsstands 20 years ago, spotlighting Garner’s role as Sydney Bristow in the ABC drama Alias.
“Twenty years ago this week. 👧🏻🎸🙈 @rollingstone,” she captioned the post. Friends and fans showered the actress with praise, pointing out that, somehow, she hasn’t aged a bit. “You look the same. Gorgeous,” Rita Wilson commented. “🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 you were one of my idols, still are lady!” another wrote. “Seems like yesterday-ish! 😉” her Alias Kevin Weisman, co-star, added.

For many of Garner’s followers, the post stirred up memories of the show, which ran from 2001 to 2006. Her character was a CIA spy agent disguised as an operative with SD-6, a criminal espionage group. This explains why the Rolling Stone cover described her as: “Just your average butt-kicking coed in leather.”
To put it frankly, Bristow was pretty badass—Garner even did her own stunts and fight scenes.
“She knows every language! She can memorize up to 400 numbers!” one person commented on Garner’s post. “Oh Sydney Bristow, we miss you,” another wrote. “I’m hoping for a reboot!!” someone else added.

It wasn’t just viewers who were inspired by Bristow, either. Garner’s breakout role in the film gave her the confidence she needed to continue her career as an actor. “I’m so attached to her,” she told Good Morning America 2018 was the year of the secret agent. “First of all, she defined me to the world. She also defined me to myself. Because of her, I was more powerful. Her influence made me more powerful. I felt stronger, smarter… I learned how hard I could work.”
Although Garner’s looks are strikingly similar to what they were 20 years ago (which might have something to do with her fav retinol serum and her desire to “normalize looking normal”), a lot has changed in her life since Alias. She now has three children. Violet, her first daughter with Ben Affleck was 4 months old at the end of the series. and owns her family’s West Virginia farm, which supplies organic produce to her kids’ snack brand, Once Upon a Farm.
Plus, she remains a busy actress—having recently starred in the family film Yes DayWith multiple TV projects in the pipeline, Her roles are much different now, but there’s no doubt she could still rock that leather moment today.
