Violet goes pink! Ben Affleck's daughter dresses

She may be named after a shade of purple, but Violet Affleck's favourite colour is most certainly pink.
The 7-year-old daughter of Oscar winner Ben Affleck and actress Jennifer Garner was decked out in the girly shade on Wednesday as she was escorted around by her scruffy-looking father.
Violet wore pink shoes, shorts and jacket and clutched a matching bag with her name on it as she stepped out in the Pacific Palisades with her dad.
Ben looked like he recently ditched his razor as his salt-and-pepper facial hair was clearly growing out.

The star, who recently won an Academy Award for Best Picture for the movie Argo that he starred in, produced and directed, looked rather dapper in a gray paperboy hat, sunglasses, mauve coat, button-down shirt and blue jeans.
Violet is the oldest of Affleck and Garner's three children. She has a younger sister, 4-year-old Seraphina, and little brother, 1-year-old Samuel.

Affleck and Garner met on the set of the 2003 film Daredevil and were married in 2005.
