Like stepmother, like stepdaughter? Violet Affleck, 18, was seen stealing her stepmom Jennifer Lopez's style as she stepped out wearing an angelic Dolce & Gabbana wrap dress from her wardrobe. 

Ben Affleck's daughter, who joined JLo's twins Max and Emme for lunch in Los Angeles on Sunday, looked beautiful in the ethereal two-tone blush pink dress, which her famous stepmother memorably wore on a Valentine's Day date with her dad last year. 

The beautiful dress, which retails for $2.8k (£2.2k), features several layers of rippling tulle, billowing long sleeves and an elegant V-neckline to elevate its balletic aesthetic.

Despite her dad and stepmother's now estranged relationship, it's clear to see JLo has maintained a bond with her ex-husband's children, lending her precious clothes to his teenage daughter and remaining a permanent figure in her life as she gears up for college.

"The breakdown of the family dynamic is, for most clients, the most difficult time of their lives," she explained.

"Unfortunately, in most instances, there are also children involved, and whilst often thought of as the most resilient, the impact of the upheaval can sometimes affect them just as much."
