Violet has been spotted on numerous occasions sporting a mask, particularly an N95.

While her camp has not commented on this issue, an obvious reason could be that Violet feels safer wearing a mask in crowded settings, like Michael's party.

This tweet by @justaneighsayer reads, "There is only one intelligent person in these photos, 17-year-old Violet Affleck. Looks like someone is sensible and trying to avoid sars2 with a quality n95." Another user said, "I am finding myself as a fan of Violet Affleck because she wears a fitted mask when needed."

No matter the reason, do whatever makes you feel comfortable Violet! We support you!
