Paparazzi captured Violet, Ben, and Samuel making their way towards the restaurant, with Violet wearing a colorful outfit made out of a green t-shirt, a cream colored knit sweater, and some white pants with adorable fruits and vegetables printed on them. 

She wore her glasses and completed the look with some white sneakers, black socks, and a white Marc Jacobs bag. 

In the case of Ben, he wore jeans, a black t-shirt, and a flannel on top. He rounded out the look with sunglasses and Nike sneakers and was seen carrying a to-go box from the restaurant. Samuel wore a grey t-shirt, brown joggers, and white Nike sneakers. 

The group was also photographed grabbing some lunch, with Sam eating some chicken tenders and Ben opting for a sandwich. Violet was photographed holding a fork and guarding her mouth as she was speaking.

Violet published a personal essay on her university's website

Earlier in May, Violet published a personal essay on the University of Yale's health publication, The Yale Global Health Review. The essay found the meeting point between the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent Los Angeles fires, with Violet comparing L.A.'s response to the fire to the US's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Violet is an outspoken environmentalist

"I spent the January fires in Los Angeles arguing with my mother in a hotel room. She was shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised myself and my siblings. I was surprised at her surprise: as a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when," reads her essay's opening paragraph.

Unlike her artist parents, Violet's path appears to be centered on the environment and academia.
