Why be sexy when you can be funny? That's just the Jennifer Garner way according to the starlet's Halloween costume. For the holiday this year, the actress chose to dress up as a mailbox instead of something more risqué and fans absolutely loved it.

But her cute idea didn't just come out of nowhere. Back in May, the 13 Going On 30 star gave a commencement speech at her alma mater, Ohio Denison University, when she made the suggestion to chose a funny costume over something sexy, more specifically, wearing a mailbox outfit instead of the popular sexy nurse costume.

When posting her outfit to Instagram, she used that part of her speech before showing fans her twirl while dressed as a mailbox rocking to "The Monster Mash."

Fans loved her outfit so much they showed her all the love in the comment section.

Jenna B. Hager commented, "YES!!!!!! I live by this truth. Always," while Reese Witherspoon echoed the sentiment, posting, "Funny over sexy. Every time. For the win !"

Comedian Chelsea Handler wrote, "You're so cute. I love you the mostest."

Other fans agreed writing, "My favorite thing ever said," while someone else said, "Yes. Yes. Yes!"

During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show the 47-year-old said that she celebrates the holiday with her three kids, Samuel Garner, 7; Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, 10 and Violet Anne, 13, who she shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck, in festive ways each year but that they still have annual traditions.

"Every year, there's something different," she said before explaining that the Garner household gives out the "good candy bars!"

Last year on Halloween she decked out as a witch painting her skin green with gorgeous purple eye makeup. She shared a post of her look while making tomatillo salsa using ingredients fresh from her garden and writing the recipe in the caption.
