Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's middle child Fin has freshened up their appearance and showcased their updated look during a day out with their dad. 

The 16-year-old looked a lot like their famous mom and sister, Violet, when they stepped out in LA to visit a book store with Ben and their brother Samuel

While the casual element of their look was still ever apparent, Fin's hair was styled in soft middle parting, a far cry from the buzz cut they sported in recent months.

Jewelry 

A pair of delicate silver necklaces hung around their neck and they carried a leather-cross body bag. 

But the most noticeable difference was the glasses Fin wore. Just like Jennifer and Violet, Fin sported spectacles and while they've worn similar eyewear in the past, they managed to look completely different.

There is no denying the family resemblance between the three children, who have a perfect combination of their mom and dad's features. 

Lookalikes

Fin revealed their new name last year

Samuel recently celebrated his milestone 13th birthday and is now officially a teenager, and looking more grown up by the day. 

Fin has had a big year and 12 months ago, they revealed their new name. 

The teen was born Seraphina but introduced themselves as Fin at their grandfather's funeral. They confidently addressed the congregation at Christ Church United Methodist in Charleston, West Virginia on Saturday April 6, as Fin.

Name change

At the time, they wore a black suit and tie for the somber occasion, and wore their hair in a buzzcut. They were pictured earlier that year with the same look, and wearing a personalized backpack with the name 'Fin' embroidered on it. 

While Jennifer and Ben are no longer together, they are successfully co-parenting their three kids.

Co-parenting

During a recent interview, Ben called his ex-wife, "wonderful," and praised her parenting. 

Jennifer Garner: 5 surprising facts

1. Conservative upbringing

When Jennifer was growing up, she attended a local Methodist Church every Sunday and went to a Vacation bible school. Her father was very conservative, and as a teenager, she and her sisters were not allowed to wear makeup, paint their nails, or have piercings. 

2. Stalker

In 2010, Stephen Burky was accused of stalking Jennifer Garner and her then-husband Ben Affleck. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity, sent to a mental institution, and ordered to stay away from the couple for ten years. 

3. 13 Going on 30

In the 2004 film, Jennifer was also meant to play the younger version of herself before Christa Brittany Allen was cast as young Jenna. 

4. Married twice

Before marrying her famous ex-husband, Ben Affleck, Jennifer was married to her Felicity co-star Scott Foley from 2000 to 2004.

5. Not to be messed with 

During her time on Alias, Jennifer did most of her stunts and learned martial arts and taekwondo. However, she did have a stunt double for the more explosive action scenes. 

Speaking to GQ, he said: "I'm really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids' mom, who's wonderful and great and we work together well."

The former couple, who were married for 10 years before divorcing in 2018, remain united in supporting their offspring.

Ben also spoke about his decision to start his production company and how it benefited his family: "I recognized that the most important thing to me was both being a parent and being present, and that for my own sake, going off to Austin or Louisiana or somewhere to do some movie, I was really missing time I could never get back," he explained.

"My kids were 8, 11, and 14, and I felt like: I don’t want to miss any of this time at all. And so I thought, well, let me figure out a way to work at home and have the kind of job where I can actually be here and build my schedule around that."
