Jennifer Lopez is in mom mode for her big night out.
On Monday, Oct. 6, the Kiss of a Spider Woman star, 56, brought her two children — twins Maximilian “Max” David Muniz and Emme Maribel Muniz, both 17, to the special New York City screening of her upcoming musical drama.
The actress shares the teens with her ex-husband Marc Anthony. Kiss of a Spider Woman is executive produced by her ex-husband Ben Affleck, the latter of whom also attended the event.
Lopez, who takes on the role of movie-within-a-movie star Ingrid Luna, wore an intricate, form-fitting brown and taupe floral patterned gown by Harris Reed that stayed true to the theme of the movie with a black, spider-like structured bodice.
Her dark blonde hair was pinned back, with a couple of pieces left out in the front to frame her face.
Max and Emme stood beside their mother on the red carpet, wearing coordinating colors of deep red, tan, and black. The siblings each wore pants, and Max paired his with a relaxed-fit jacket while Emme wore a tailored blazer.
The three weren’t the only ones posing together on the red carpet.
Lopez and Affleck, who were married from 2022 until the former couple finalized their divorce in January, were all smiles as cameras flashed before them at the A-list event.
Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artist Equity production company co-produced the movie.
The Maid in Manhattan movie star stopped by Live with Kelly and Mark earlier in the day, where she discussed what it’s like watching her kids grow before her eyes.
“Hey, the twins. They’re 17! Can you believe that?” cohost Mark Consuelos asked the “Waiting for Tonight” singer.
“I mean, it’s crazy. We’re visiting colleges today, between doing this [press] and the premiere, we’re visiting a college today,” Lopez said. “It’s happening — they’re leaving, they’re going, and it’s crazy.”
While she admitted the thought of the twins going away for school would be “an exciting adventure” that she wants for them, in the back of her mind, “I also think like, ‘Oh! I’m going to be by myself.’”
During a previous visit to the morning show, Lopez told Consuelos and Ripa, “The teenage years are tough.”
“It’s challenging. You have this baby for a while and then it’s like, your best little friend who loves being with you all the time, and then all of a sudden it’s like, ‘Get out of my room,’ ” she said.

When Max and Emme were first born, Lopez called it love at first sight.
“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.”
Kiss of the Spider Woman is in theaters Friday, Oct. 10.
