Jennifer Lopez and her 16-year-old daughter, Emme, stole the spotlight with a heartwarming mother-daughter moment at the Los Angeles premiere of Wicked on Saturday, Nov. 9. While Lopez initially graced the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion red carpet solo, she later shared a glimpse into the night’s special experience with her daughter on Instagram.

In a heartfelt Instagram Story post on Monday, Nov. 11, the Unstoppable star revealed that her teenage daughter joined her for the highly anticipated premiere of the musical. The post featured an adorable selfie of the two, both beaming with joy. Emme was seen in a multi-colored top and dark pants, complementing her mom’s dazzling red-carpet look. Lopez added an instrumental of Wicked’s iconic “Defying Gravity,” sung by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, with playful emojis of Elphaba and Glinda, captioned with: “Wicked!! We loved it 💚🧙‍♀️🧚🩷.”

Lopez, 55, looked stunning in a sparkling halter gown from the Zuhair Murad Couture Spring 2024 collection, adorned with gemstone embellishments and side cut-outs. Emme, bringing her own unique style, wore a chic gold collared shirt. In another post, Lopez shared a video of her walk down the red carpet, showing off the glamorous, backless gown as she tagged stars from the Wicked film as well as original Broadway actresses Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel.

This family outing seemed to hold extra significance for Lopez, who recently spoke with PEOPLE about her anticipation for the upcoming holiday season following a “pretty intense year.” After her divorce from Ben Affleck in August, the mom of twins Emme and Max, also 16, expressed her desire to prioritize time with family.

“It was a pretty intense year for me, and I’m most looking forward to spending time with my kids and my family coming out from the East Coast,” she shared. Lopez also emphasized how much she cherishes the holiday season, a tradition of togetherness that has been special to her since childhood.

Reflecting on the magic of these moments, Lopez said, “The holidays are such a special time for us… I really look forward to those moments when I can be with my sisters, just relax, have fun, and create new memories.” For Lopez, the holidays are a time to “slow down” and savor family connections, adding, “It’s just a beautiful time. I really enjoy it.”

Fans were thrilled to see this sweet glimpse of Lopez and Emme’s bond, celebrating a magical night together and highlighting the importance of family and togetherness for the superstar.
