Here are some photos of Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez and Violet Affleck on the Fourth of July. There’s always at least one major “industry party” on Independence Day, and this year Michael Rubin hosted it. The dress code was “all white,” which… eh. It feels very early-aughts, doing an all-white dress code for a summer party. I remember those Hamptons parties with all-white dress codes. Still, Bennifer was game and so was Violet.
Violet is fully her mother’s daughter – I always do a double-take whenever I see photos of her, because it inevitably looks like Jennifer Garner and J.Lo are hanging out. I wonder if J.Lo does the same double-take. Violet not only paired her white dress with pigtails, she also wore a mask at the party. She’s 17 years old and she’s still like “actually, I don’t want to catch anything.” The only other Hollywood type I’ve seen wearing masks still, to this day, is Leo DiCaprio (and I mostly think that’s about the paparazzi).
Speaking of Leo, Ben and J.Lo are both Leos, with Jennifer’s birthday coming up on July 24th and Ben’s birthday coming up on August 15. Will they do another birthday trip in Europe? Will they get a yacht? I hope so. There are also persistent rumors that Ben and Jen will do a vow renewal this summer for their one-year anniversary. I hope not – I hope they just go on a big birthday/anniversary trip.
Here’s one of Michael Rubin’s IGs about his party, and you can see a great photo of the Affleck-Lopez fam. Beyonce was there!! So were Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian and dozens of A-listers.

Tom Brady giving off nothing but “the Backstreet Boys video for I Want It That Way” vibes
Tell me whhyyy??!
Ain’t Nothin But a Heart ache …
Mika and Danbury yesssss 😂😂😂
All the men look so incredibly douchey. I bet it smells like Axe body spray that costs $500.
Ben Affleck is 6’4″, and Violet standing next 2 him with only 2 inches difference in height. And is wearing flat sandals. That girl is talllllll!!!
She is tall but side on shows she is in wedges not flats
Even so, she’s close to 6′ tall. Jennifer Garner is around 5’8″ and from the photos from the State Dinner, Violet towers over her.
Those are platforms not wedges.
I admit I like tall men. (5’10”-6’5″)
Ben Affleck is possibly one of the only men over 6′ who I find totally unattractive.
The douche bro frat boy is so strong on him.
I can not unsee that stupid huge back tattoo on him, even when he is fully dressed. LOL
I often will remark re: Prince William “Well, he’s tall. I’ll give him that.”
Thank goodness his daughter looks like a copy of Jennifer Garner.
Photos from this party is giving hot, sweaty mess.
It looks like a sweaty mess of a party, and the men look like inmates. Reminds me of the time my sister dated then married a convict and all the pictures he would send her of him and his prison buddies. 😬
It looks like some weird cult gathering, like they’re all going to get baptized in the pool or something.
I saw some tiktok of Kim, Hailey et al in all white and didn’t have any idea of the context. I love a themed party but I agree with y’all–this looked hot and sweaty.
I did but I have to admit that our Queen B Beyoncé and JayZ looked cool as cucumbers and brought the all white up several notches that not one couple could compete against!!!
Also, how could TWO Leo’s marry?? I too am a Leo and I would not be able to live or even consider marrying another Leo……😵💫. I am utterly, head over heels in love with my Aquarian ❤️❤️
My husband and I are both Leos so I get it. However, neither of us are typical Leos. Both homebodies and are not very dramatic.
IIRC, Jessica Chastain is still diligent-and unapologetic-about masking.
I honestly cannot imagine Ben Affleck agreeing to go through all of the fuss of a vow renewal just a year after they got married.
I would imagine he doesn’t want to argue with JLo about it. Just let her be happy and do her thing. He’s always been the guy (reportedly) that’s chill and lets his significant other run the show in that way. But yes, this reeks of trying to prove something on JLo’s part and not Ben. He doesn’t seem like the type to even want a wedding let alone vow renewal.
Vow renewals after a year seems so excessive to me. Sign if a weak union. After 25 years, maybe. But one?
I hate vow renewals. You said your vow the first time it should have meant something and it’s a vow that should carry you on for good. Anybody remember the Heidi Klum/seal renewals every year? They were also very performative and gushy and then …divorce and not a nice one.
This Rubin must be a big deal if he got all those A listers under one roof for JUST a party!!!
Michael Rubin is I believe valued at 11.4 or 11.6 billion and he owns Fanatics, the sports apparel company. He’s a sports guy so not sure why all the celebs are there.
Like you said, he’s worth 11 BILLION dollars. That buys a lot of “friends”.
And adding to the Leo references, isn’t that him in one of the Instagram pics?
Kim, Kendall, Lori, Lala, and Hailey all did a Tiktok together. Someone posted it on Twitter (I don’t do the Tiktoks). It was cute. Also, Tom Brady looks SO out of place. 😂
I do wish JLo would stop pulling her hair so tight into the ponytail, looks painful.
This party looks very dull to me. All PR for everyone involved.
It kind of surprises me at her age. I have to pull back my hair for work and it concerns me bc of breakage.
I kept seeing this party on social media yesterday and kept thinking it was the music producer Rick Rubin and thought this seemed out of character for him? I still don’t know who this Rubin is. I love that Violet Afflect is still wearing masks.
I recognised maybe eight faces aside from JLo and Ben, and I’m so happy to keep it that way.
There was a survey released about two months ago that indicated that white people over 70 were the group LEAST likely to mask. Minorities and younger people were far more likely to mask some or all of the time, maybe because they’re more wary of the long-term consequences of covid? I’d like to think there was no covid at this party, but even with high-tech air purifiers and testing, chances are good that it was present. Violet is making a smart choice: she might not want to ruin a good chunk of her summer (or way longer!) with an illness she picked up at a fancy party she was attending with her dad and stepmom.
June Ambrose just posted a reel on IG from this party. It was a b’day party HEAVILY attended by industry people on a roof top. They were having a good time and not not sweaty and uncomfortable at all.
People forget that California is usually super temperate, even in LA. It looks like it was later in the day when things cool off.
Violet has gotten so tall! I love that she continues to wear her glasses.
No one looks like they are actually having fun in any of those photos.
A work event for PR even on the 4th of July. Boooo!
If there are drink’s people are having fun
My good friend is Micheal Rubin’s ex wife. He’s got a talent for making money ever since he was a teenager. He has a huge party every year on July 4th. I’m surprised there is not more coverage here because every A lister and hanger on was there. Last year his wife fell off the stage , that’s why he’s joking about no medical tent needed.
Honestly after flicking through the insta photos this party looks like a lot of fun to me. I would totally go. Even if I had to buy a white outfit. Love the chick in the long dress and trainers. And the dude in the white leather chaps.
