The trio posed on the red carpet for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event weekend, dressed to impress with pretty smiles on their faces.

Her parents looked just as fashionable, with the Disney legend wearing a black and white polka dot dress and her father in a suit.
During her speech, Ripa, who met her husband on the set of All my children, said she owes “everything” to the Walt Disney Company both personally and professionally, noting that it’s how she met her “super hot husband,” according to People. The couple met in 1995 when Mark did a test shoot with her.
