So, yeah, to call Violet and Seraphina Affleck leading ladies may be a bit premature, and perhaps just a smidge weird. Yet, there’s no doubt that these girls are already a couple of the coolest chicks in Hollywood who will go on to great things either in or out of the industry.

For one thing, they have the blood of Hollywood royalty. The daughters of Ben Affleck (Oscar winner, Boston charmer, official best friend to Matt Damon) and Jennifer Garner (Alias superspy, rom-com heroine, effortless hair model), Violet and Seraphina have a legacy of talent to live up to. And although it’s still early, they’re already doing the Affleck name proud.
The oldest of the Affleck’s brood is Violet, also known as the wisest 7 year-year-old alive and my model for living a life of sophisticated responsibility. A mini version of her mom, the girl knows how to rock a skirt/handbag combo, and could teach us all a little something about summer dresses. But more importantly, Violet has a diverse array of talents for someone who recently lost her two front teeth. From rollerblading, to spelling bees, to taking care of her younger siblings, Violet is the perfect child in so many ways. She wears glasses because she knows that 1. She can pull them off and 2. She’s smart and doesn’t care who knows it (Um-hum, Suri).
That’s not to say that Violet’s younger sister, Seraphina, is any less perfect. In fact, if Violet is like Jennifer, Seraphina is the cool, Ben-inspired mini-me. The 4-year-old has her own quirky feminine sense of style and isn’t afraid to take risks. She recently got a bob before Jennifer Lawrence; thereby cementing her status early on as an edgy Hollywood trendsetter. But mostly, Sera (as she’s nicknamed), spends a lot of time being adorable with Ben Affleck. They go for almost daily coffee runs, make cute faces, and he even cheers her on when she goes running. And who could blame him for wanting to hang out with her? She’s got a fun, free spirit, and with a beautiful role model of a sister, there can only be more good things to come.
In all, I’m not saying I want to be Violet or Seraphina Affleck, because that would be ridiculous. One should probably not emulate 7 or 4- year-old children in terms of life decisions. Yet, if one had to pick a duo of children to emulate, it would certainly be this one.
And yeah, Samuel Affleck is pretty cute too. But we all know it’s all about the girls.
