Violet Affleck recycles the dress Jennifer Lopez wore on her date with Ben Affleck in 2023

It looks like Violet Affleck has been shopping in her stepmother Jennifer Lopez's closet.

The 18-year-old daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner stepped out on Friday, August 9, in what appears to be the same Dolce & Gabbana dress that Lopez, 55, once wore on a date with Ben, 51.

Violet was spotted in Brentwood, California, wearing a pink and white chiffon dress with long sleeves, romantic folds and a wrap neckline. The teenager paired the formal look with red and white sneakers and half-crew socks – a very Gen Z-inspired style.

Lopez had previously worn the dress on a date with her husband Ben on Valentine's Day 2023. She accessorized with gold platform sandals, a gold clutch and a white belt with the Dolce & Gabbana logo. The star's hair was slicked back in a sleek ponytail.

The twins' moment of friendship comes amid reports of tension in Lopez and Ben's two-year marriage.

The couple spent most of the summer apart, as Lopez vacationed in both Europe and the Hamptons in New York while Ben filmed his upcoming sequel. The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles. In July, the couple spent their second anniversary and Lopez's birthday on different coasts.
