Violet Affleck, 18, Criticized for Wearing Plunging Pink Dress Stepmom JLo Once Wore on a Date with Ben

Violet Affleck, the 18-year-old daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, recently sparked a debate online after she was spotted in Los Angeles wearing a familiar dress.

The dress, a stylish Dolce & Gabbana piece, was first worn by her stepmother Jennifer “JLo” Lopez during a romantic Valentine’s Day date with Ben in 2023, a night captured by the flashing cameras of the paparazzi.

JLo, known for her glamorous style, had paired the dress with a white belt, gold platform heels, and diamond earrings, creating a chic and polished look. In contrast, Violet opted for a more casual vibe.

Seen from different angles during a daytime stroll with a friend, she skipped the belt, paired the dress with sporty red-laced sneakers and white ankle socks, and finished the outfit with her signature eyeglasses.

The dress fluttered gently, as did Violet’s straight hair, which blew softly in the wind. With minimal makeup for a fresh, relaxed look, her outfit quickly caught the attention of social media users.

Some criticized Violet’s choice, with one person commenting, “She ruined a D&G with those sneakers. What is happening to fashion [sic]?!?!” while another said, “Yikes. Ruined that dress.”
