The actress and her oldest daughter made a rare appearance at the State dinner, hosted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden. The mother-daughter duo were two of 400 VIPs invited to the event, so naturally, they went all-out with their glamorous outfits for the occasion. The ladies matched in black gowns, with the Yes Day star opting for a floor-length, boat-neck, sleeveless Ralph Lauren dress with sequin accents. Meanwhile, Violet wore a Carolina Herrera dress with heart imprints and paired the look with red, pointed-toe heels. Garner styled her chic new haircut in loose curls as Violet pulled her blonde tresses into a sleek low bun. As they walked into the event, Garner and Violet held hands and gazed lovingly at each other. While it’s an honor to be invited to the White House, the evening was extra special for Violet as she celebrated her 17th birthday at the Dec. 1 event. Garner shares Violet with ex-husband Ben Affleck, who recently married Jennifer Lopez. Garner and Affleck are also co-parents to 13-year-old Seraphina Rose and 10-year-old Samuel. Though the mom-of-three glams it up for the occasional red carpet event, she’s mostly known for her relatable and down-to-earth content on Instagram. Most recently, following a Thanksgiving-week car trip with her family, the actress gave fans a glimpse at the contents inside her bag. In a video captioned, “What’s In My Bag: Holiday Travel Edition 💼,” the 13 Going on 30 actress revealed the surprising items stowed away inside, including a game called Rat-A-Tat Cat, liquid IVs, and loose M&Ms.  More News:
