Turns out its a perfect time to be 30, flirty and thriving.

Actor Christa B. Allen channeled her character from the 2004 film 13 Going on 30, re-creating some iconic scenes on TikTok and serving serious Jennifer Garner vibes.

Allen played the teenage version of the character Jenna Rink in the rom-com, while Garner played Rink at age 30, when she has grown up to be a glamorous magazine editor.

The now-28-year-old Allen snagged a replica of the Versace dress Garner wore in the movie and took on a montage of scenes from the film, reenacting one where Garner gets ready for a party, set to the tune of Whitney Houstons I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

Allen later posted other videos, including one where she does Michael Jacksons Thriller dance in the dress an homage to a scene where Garner does that exact dance at party for the fictional Poise magazine and another where she delivers a sassy line Garner uttered to a competing magazine editor in the film.

#duet with @d3mstreet HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! I am STILL a terrible dancer but this was so fun!

Robot Thriller - Michael The Werecat

That line-reading was in response to a not-so-nice comment from a TikTok user who remarked that Allen never lets them forget she starred in the early-aughts comedy.

In response to Allens first video, one of her co-stars Alexandra Kyle, who starred as the younger version of Lucy Tom-Tom Wyman posted a video channeling her characters vibe in the film.

Kyle posted her video as a duet alongside one Allen posted back in September. With both actors side by side and dressed in character, you can hardly tell its been 16 years since they were on-screen together as frenemies.
