Jennifer Lopez recently attended the Wicked premiere and lit up the red carpet in a stunning cutout gown— but she didn't arrive solo.

The 55-year-old singer's 16-year-old, Emme (or shall I say her coconut), also tagged along for the star-studded event—several months after they enjoyed a birthday trip to Japan with the family. And by the looks of their smiling selfie, the movie musical did not disappoint. J.Lo shared a snap with her child on her Instagram Story and wrote, "Wicked!! We loooved it!"

In the pic, the pair are seated beside each other, with Lopez donning a Zuhair Murad dress and Emme decked out in a gold shirt and black pants. However, I noticed something interesting: Emme's smile is nearly identical to their dad, Marc Anthony's.

TBH, had Emme taken a solo shot, then I just might've mistaken them for a younger version of their dad. And if you need proof, consider the below throwback snap of J.Lo and Anthony in 2005.

J.Lo's recent IG Story comes a few months after she shared a sweet tribute to her twins, Emme and Max. The slideshow featured pics of Lopez posing separately with the twins and a throwback of the pair snuggling together as toddlers. She captioned the post, "My whole heart."

You'll notice that Emme's sibling, Max, also looks like a carbon copy of dad Marc Anthony.

One fan commented, "They will always be your little coconuts no matter how big they get! Beautiful family." Another said, "They are so lucky to call you mama!"

In a recent interview with People, J.Lo opened up about her plans to spend more quality time with family, following her split from Ben Affleck. She said, “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. The holidays are such a special time for us and they've always been since I was a little girl."

Now that she's prioritizing time with loved ones, I imagine this recent photo with Emme is the first of many that will pop up on her feed.

Keep the sweet snaps coming, Jenny.
