Violet Affleck Dons Stepmom Jennifer Lopez’s Dress During Divorce Proceedings

Like stepmother, like stepdaughter? Violet Affleck, 18, was seen mirroring her stepmom Jennifer Lopez’s style when she stepped out wearing an angelic Dolce & Gabbana wrap dress from her wardrobe.

Ben Affleck’s daughter, who joined JLo’s twins Max and Emme for lunch in Los Angeles on Sunday, looked stunning in the ethereal two-tone blush pink dress, which her famous stepmother memorably wore on a Valentine’s Day date with her dad last year.

The beautiful dress, which retails for $2.8k (£2.2k), features several layers of rippling tulle, billowing long sleeves, and an elegant V-neckline that elevate its balletic aesthetic.

Despite her dad and stepmother’s now estranged relationship, it’s clear to see JLo has maintained a bond with her ex-husband’s children. She lends her precious clothes to his teenage daughter and remains a significant figure in her life as she gears up for college.

This comes as Violet recently made a girls’ trip to the Hamptons with Jennifer earlier this summer. The ‘Let’s Get Loud’ hitmaker maintains her closeness with her stepdaughter despite Bennifer’s ongoing turbulent divorce.

The world was abuzz when Jennifer and Ben reignited their 2000s romance in 2021, tying the knot in Las Vegas a year later.

Yet just two years into Bennifer 2.0, signs the stars’ marriage was on the rocks started to swirl. Jennifer stepping out without her wedding ring fueled further cracks in their high-profile relationship.

Atlas star Jennifer shares two children with singer Marc Anthony; the pair were together for seven years and welcomed twins Emme and Max in February 2008. Ben was married to Jennifer Garner for 13 years and shares Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with the Alias actress.

Jennifer Moore, the Legal Director at the London-based Rayden Solicitors, specializes in family law and spoke about how detrimental divorce can be for the children involved.

“The breakdown of the family dynamic is, for most clients, the most difficult time of their lives,” she explained.

“Unfortunately, in most instances, there are also children involved, and whilst often thought of as the most resilient, the impact of the upheaval can sometimes affect them just as much.”
