In the images, Garner's hair was styled in a short, voluminous bob with soft curls that frame her face, reminiscent of mid-century Hollywood. The hairdo bears a striking resemblance to Madonna's look on the cover of her 1986 album, "True Blue."

In one photo, Garner poses in a silky pink Gucci halter dress with lace detailing against a bold red background. The look — only missing the white opera gloves — was strikingly similar to Marilyn Monroe's when she performed "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend."

Madonna, who is known for drawing inspiration from Golden Age Hollywood, also referenced the performance in her music video for "Material Girl." Even Garner's fans couldn't help but point out the resemblance.

"It's Giving Marilyn & Madonna Vibes! ❤️🔥," one person gushed. "I see lots of Madonna references. Chair pics remind me of 'Open your heart to me' music video. And obviously material girl pink dress [sic]," another noted.
