In photos taken outside of the Barrymore Theatre in New York City, the duo could be seen wearing coordinating dark looks. Lopez sported a navy two-piece outfit from designer Zuhair Murad’s fall-winter 2024 couture collection. The look included a midriff-baring top and a floor-length skirt, both of which featured a sparkly pattern of bedazzled stones. She paired her look with a black fur statement coat and silver circular earrings, and had her hair styled in a tight bun.

Emme, meanwhile, opted for a black and white pinstriped suit with a printed tie and a gray button-down shirt, along with chunky black loafers. The teen also wore a pair of black eyeglasses and gold earrings.

Lopez may be an actress, singer, dancer and business mogul, but her most important job is being the mom of her 17-year-old twins, Maximilian "Max" David Muniz and Emme. The Mother actress welcomed her kids with ex-husband Marc Anthony in February 2008.

It’s unconditional love,” she told PEOPLE. “I know everybody feels this way about their kids, but I just feel like they’re super special. I can’t wait to see what they do.”

She recently celebrated her twins' 17th birthday with a sweet video tribute on Instagram. The video contains photos and videos of the family from throughout the years. A few of the moments included in the montage are a clip of the trio posing for photos on a tire swing, Lopez embracing her kids backstage, and a selfie of them curled up in a restaurant booth.

"Seventeen. I love you beyond forever 🥥🥥,” Lopez captioned the post.
