Jennifer Lopez and her teen, Emme Maribel Muñiz, 17, make the ultimate mother-child duo. The two stepped out for a night of theater, turning heads at the Broadway debut of "Good Night, and Good Luck," starring none other than Lopez's former "Out of Sight" co-star, George Clooney.
Jennifer Lopez and Emme rocked chic black-tie looks with a vintage velvet twist, effortlessly blending classic Hollywood glamour with a modern edge. If there were a Tony Award for best-dressed audience members, they would have taken home the award.

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." And judging by their latest outing, Emme is already living that VIP life.

Clooney, 63, isn't just starring in "Good Night, and Good Luck. " He helped adapt the script for the stage and took on the leading role of legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow. The play revisits Murrow's groundbreaking face-off with Senator Joseph McCarthy, a historical moment that still resonates today.
Interestingly, when the film version was released in 2005, Clooney played a different role, while David Strathairn took on Murrow and earned an Oscar nomination for it. Now, nearly 20 years later, Clooney is stepping into the spotlight in a whole new way, making his official New York theater debut.
Why This Play Matters
Clooney has often spoken about his father, journalist Nick Clooney, and how his work influenced his passion for storytelling. He recently told Vulture, "It seemed like a good time to remind ourselves how important journalism is to all of us and what a terrible state the country would be in without the Fourth Estate."
He added, "Also, I think it's a nice time to remind ourselves of us at our best—when we stood up to power and people did something very brave and unselfish."

Lopez and Emme's Love for Broadway
This isn't J. Lo's first time enjoying a Broadway moment with Emme.
