Violet Affleck grew up in a rare appearance with her mother Jennifer Garner on her 17th birthday

Violet Affleck made a major appearance with her mother Jennifer Garner at the White House on Dec. 1, and she looked like she'd grown up. The duo attended the State Dinner hosted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden in honor of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron.

Garner and Ben are both pretty tight-lipped about what they share about their children's lives.

Other celebrities at the Thursday night dinner included Stephen Colbert, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Ariana DeBose, Anna Wintour and Julia Louis-Dreyfus and her son Charlie Hall, who appears in the new season of 'The Sex Lives of College Girls."
