Jennifer — who shares Violet with ex-husband Ben Affleck — wasn’t the only celeb at the state dinner who brought their child along for the unique experience. Veep‘s Julia Louis-Dreyfus brought along her own tuxedo-clad son, 25-year-old Charlie Hall.

This marked the first state dinner to be held during President’ Joe Biden’s time in office.
