Jennifer Garner and her daughter Violet Affleck made a rare, ravishing public appearance at the White House state dinner for French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday night.

The mother-daughter duo shined and smiled for cameras, both wearing black dresses. Garner opted for a floor-length gown from Ralph Lauren's Fall/Winter 2022 ready-to-wear collection. She set the look off with vibrant red lipstick.

Violet -- who also celebrated her birthday on Thursday -- went for a patterned fit and flare mid-length Carolina Herrera dress that she paired with glasses and red pumps.
