The public is buzzing about Ben, Violet, and Fin Affleck’s recent appearances in Los Angeles. Many were particularly interested in how Violet looked, as people, yet again, likened her to her famous mom.

Hollywood star Ben Affleck was recently spotted out amid a family outing in California with two of the kids he shares with his ex-wife and fellow A-lister Jennifer Garner. The father, Violet, and Fin Affleck captured the public’s attention with their looks, especially Jennifer’s lookalike daughter, who was seen out without a face mask.

During their Los Angeles outing, Ben exuded his signature laid-back style, layering a deep blue jacket over a matching button-up and a white T-shirt. He paired this with tan pants and sneakers.

His signature scruffy beard and slightly furrowed brow gave him that familiar Affleck intensity, though his body language with his children spoke volumes — protective, present, and engaged. Violet, standing tall next to her father, embraced a classic yet understated aesthetic.

She sported a navy varsity sweatshirt, light-wash jeans, and red Converse sneakers, giving off a collegiate, all-American vibe. Her long, straight hair cascaded past her shoulders, and her clear-framed glasses accentuated her resemblance to her mother. Violet’s posture was relaxed, and at one point, she linked arms with her father, reinforcing their close bond.

Meanwhile, Fin opted for a more alternative style. They donned a black long-sleeve shirt, dark cargo-style pants, and a crossbody bag.

They also carried a gray jacket over their arm. Fin’s hair, styled in two buns on top of their head with wispy bangs framing their face, added an edgy touch to the ensemble.

As images of Ben Affleck, Violet, and Fin made their rounds online, netizens had plenty to say about their appearances — especially where Violet, her height, and her resemblance to Jennifer Garner were concerned.

One person observed, “Violet – spitting image of her beautiful mim [sic]….” while another marveled, “Violet is tall and she looks so much like her mom.” A different commenter echoed this sentiment, “Like mother like daughter that Jenny dna is strong [sic].”

Violet’s height was another major talking point among fans who were surprised by how much she has grown.

“I can’t believe the oldest is that tall,” one person noted, while another compared the young lady’s height to her dad’s. However, it wasn’t just her height and resemblance to her mom that had people talking.

Violet’s decision to step out without a face mask caught the attention of some online observers. One person remarked, “She finally took her mask off👍🏻,” while someone else questioned where the item was.

There were also remarks made about Fin’s features, with someone exclaiming, “Finn looks like their Dad!” Among the observations about the Affleck children, some people also reflected on Ben’s past with Jennifer, opining how the actor didn’t “appreciate” his “wonderful family with a wonderful wife & children” when he was still with the “Alias” star.

As some people pointed out, Violet was seen without a face mask, which veers away from her tendency to sport one frequently.

The young lady has been a vocal advocate for mask accessibility — a stance she made clear last year (2024) when she delivered a powerful address pushing back against mask bans in Los Angeles County.

Standing before the Board of Supervisors, Violet — donning a modest floral-print dress, her long hair parted neatly, and glasses resting on her nose — spoke with conviction about the ongoing risks of COVID-19.

With a white mask covering her face, she revealed a personal experience that shaped her stance. “I contracted a post-trial condition in 2019, I’m ok now, but I saw first-hand that medicine does not always have answers to the consequences of even minor viruses,” she divulged.

She went on to highlight the long-term effects of COVID-19, explaining that “one in ten infections leads to long COVID, which is a devastating neurological, cardiovascular illness that can take away people’s ability to work, move, see and even think.”

Violet also emphasized the disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, from people of color to essential workers and the elderly. She called on officials to ensure mask availability, improved air filtration and continued access to testing and treatment.

The young advocate ended her statement with an unwavering demand. She stated, “The county must oppose mask bans for any reason. They do not keep us safer, they make vulnerable members of our community less safe and make everyone less able to participate in Los Angeles together.”

Her words painted a clear picture — her frequent mask-wearing was not just a precaution but a reflection of her firsthand understanding of public health risks.

Given this context, it’s no surprise that her decision to step out mask-free recently sparked so much conversation. However, it clearly wasn’t the main topic of discussion among online viewers as much as her resemblance to her mom was.

Violet and Jennifer have been likened to each other on several occasions besides this most recent one. Back in June 2024, Violet sparked similar reactions when she was seen grabbing lunch with her dad at Tasty Noodle House.

The “Gone Girl” actor sported a white shirt under a flannel, paired with denim pants and Nike sneakers for their casual outing. Violet, on the other hand, looked stylish in a black dress layered over a white flowy long-sleeved top.

She accessorized with a unique embroidered vest from the clothing brand Niloufar Saba, purple socks, and black sneakers. Violet also wore eyeglasses and a white face mask, seemingly keeping a low profile.

Despite her efforts to stay under the radar, photos of the father-daughter duo quickly circulated online, eliciting a range of reactions from fans.

Some fans were taken aback by Violet’s uncanny resemblance to her mother, with one fan exclaiming, “Violet is the spitting image of her mother!” Another echoed the sentiment, marveling, “Violet looks so much like her mom.” There was even confusion among people, with one person admitting, “I thought it was Jennifer.”

Fashion-wise, opinions varied. While some admired Violet’s modest attire, noting, “She dresses very modestly, just like her mom,” others were less impressed.

They questioned her fashion sense with comments like, “What’s up with her outfit?” and “Violet dresses very weird.” However, a defender asserted, “She’s a modest young woman.”

Violet’s appearance also sparked praise for her upbringing, as one admirer wrote, “Love Ben. His daughter Violet conducts herself like a proper young lady. Ben’s been a good dad.”

The admiration didn’t stop there, as admirers also complimented Violet’s fashion choices, with one praising, “Didn’t realize she had such good taste.” Another added, “Awwww, what a cutie. She’s matched the color of the vest with her name.”

As a young woman, Violet enjoys experimenting with makeup. She reportedly started her exploration at 13. In a previous interview, Jennifer disclosed Violet’s fascination with makeup, disclosing that her daughter enjoys experimenting with different products, but is mindful of not overdoing it.

The actress mentioned that sometimes Violet checks in with her before she leaves the house to ensure her makeup is appropriate, and if it’s not, Jennifer advises her to tone it down. Navigating Violet’s teenage years has been a learning process for the actress, who acknowledged the challenges of adolescence.

While discussing Violet’s interest in makeup, the actress reflected, “I think it’s probably extra complicated when you literally were nursed in the makeup chair as an infant, and have grown up sitting in your mom’s lap while she got her makeup done your whole life.”

The actress shares a close bond with her daughter, and Violet’s high school graduation was an emotional milestone for the “13 Going on 30” star. In May 2024, Jennifer proudly celebrated her daughter’s significant milestone by sharing a heartfelt post on social media.

In the caption, she wrote, “Tell me you have a graduate without telling me you have a graduate. 🎓 (bless our hearts 🥺♥️🤣).” Jennifer’s post featured a carousel of photos and a video, capturing her journey to attend the graduation.

One photo showed her inside a plane, dressed in a checkered shirt, wiping her eyes with a tissue. In a video, she expressed her hopes, saying, “I hope we can make it.” Another image showed her in a white shirt with an ID sling, wiping away tears, yet again.

The final snap captured her in a dark blue shirt and black sweater, complete with 2024-printed sunglasses, her emotions clearly visible on her face. Jennifer’s post resonated with many celebrities who offered their support.

Gwyneth Paltrow commented, “I’m sooooo [sic] with you.” Reese Witherspoon added, “Congratulations!, Oh honey… I know…You have done a great job, mama! I will be here for support and lots of hugs.”

Jennifer was very vocal about Violet’s journey to graduation. In November 2023, she opened up about their college tours during an interview on “Live with Kelly and Mark,” describing the selection process as both exciting and stressful.

Despite the mixed feelings, Jennifer expressed confidence in Violet’s ability to navigate the process successfully. She praised her daughter’s self-starter attitude by saying, “She’s handling it like a champ and she’s totally in charge.”

As Violet geared up for college, she had been cherishing every moment with her mom. In May 2024, they were spotted in Santa Monica, both dressed in coordinated outfits and holding hands.

The beloved actress sported a blue floral dress, a buttoned white shirt, and a grey cardigan. She accessorized her look with a matching gold necklace, brown sunglasses, and sneakers.

Meanwhile, the then-18-year-old opted for a white sundress adorned with a pink flower print and paired this with black shoes. The mother-daughter duo was all smiles, chatting while walking hand-in-hand. This was after they left an event, with Jennifer still sporting a nametag.

Their close bond was also on display in December 2022, when they attended a state dinner at the White House hosted by former U.S. President Joe Biden and former First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.

Jennifer looked stunning in a long black sequined gown, complete with matching black heels and a clutch. Violet complemented her mother’s elegance in a black heart-printed dress and striking red heels. She also carried a small black bag.
