Jennifer Garner and her daughter Violet were dressed in black at the White House state dinner Thursday night.
The teen wore a heart-print Carolina Herrera dress at the rare performance on her 17th birthday.
Violet, who brought a matching clutch to the event, wore red Stuart Weitzman heels and her hair was pulled back in a bun.
As for Garner, the ’13 Going on 30′ star stunned in her own pair of Stuart Weitzman platforms, along with a sequin-detailed black Ralph Lauren dress.
The mother-daughter couple was photographed lovingly holding hands and smiling at the star-studded event in Washington, DC.
Twitter users were wildly enthusiastic about the dazzling duo.
“Violet looks great,” gushed one fan.
Other celebrity guests ranged from the pregnant Chrissy Teigen and John Legend to Lupita Nyong’o and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Garner and ex-husband Ben Affleck’s other two children — Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10 — were absent from the dinner.
The former couple was married from 2005 to 2018. Garner, 50, has since moved on with on-again, off-again boyfriend John Miller, while Affleck married Jennifer Lopez in July.
The “Let’s Get Loud” singer called Garner a “great” co-parent in an October interview with Vogue.
“They work really well together,” the Grammy winner, who is mother to twins Emme and Maximilian, said of the exes last month.
Affleck, for his part, gave a rare insight into his and Garner’s dynamic last year when he raised Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel in a candid interview.
“It’s important to have two parents for raising and educating a child,” the Oscar winner explains to WSJ. Magazine in December 2021. “The most important thing for me is to be a good father.”
That same month, the “Tender Bar” star told viewers of “Good Morning America” that he is at his “happiest” with the little ones.
“My life is better…when I’m around [them]said the Golden Globe winner, pointing out that his offspring give his life the most “value.”
