The trio posed on the red carpet for the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event weekend and were dressed to impress with lovely smiles on their face. The 23-year-old singer looked classy in a maroon halter dress with her hair in a sleek low ponytail.  Her parents looked just as fashionable with the Disney Legend wearing a black and white polka dot dress, and her dad in a suit.

During her speech, Ripa, who met her husband on the set of All My Children, said she owed "everything" to the Walt Disney Company both personally and professionally, noting that's how she met her "smoking hot husband," per People. The couple met in 1995 when Mark filmed a screen test with her.
