Garner and Meyer met up with friends at celebrity-favorite Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California on Wednesday night, where the actress soaked up the laughs and good vibes at the famous Italian restaurant.

The 51-year-old kept it chic in an all-black outfit that included chunky mid-calf boots, a back-slit maxi dress and an oversized blazer. She accessorized with a simple silver necklace and her natural beauty shone through with minimal makeup, showing off her effortless glow.

Meyer, 47, opted for a more street style, styling her hair in a sleek low bun. He wore light baggy jeans, a gray T-shirt, a blue bomber jacket and black-and-white Nike sneakers. She completed her look with oversized hoop earrings and a Louis Vuitton bag.

The girls’ night out came after Garner’s Thanksgiving, which created a media frenzy. She and Ben, who share the children Violet18, seraphina15, and Samuel12, was photographed volunteering at a Midnight Mission charity event, helping to feed 2,000 homeless and near-homeless people in downtown Los Angeles, per person.

Their children also participate in community service events. Given that Ben and Jennifer Lopez’s marriage is over, it’s no surprise that he chose to spend the holidays with his family. With Christmas right around the corner, we’ll likely see him hanging out at the Garner home for the special holiday. Recently a source informed this information page six, “Jane and Ben usually split their time with the children during the holidays but Jane offered to spend Christmas together with Ben if she wanted.”
