Happy birthday, Ava Phillippe!
The daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe is celebrating her 20th birthday today! In honor of Ava’s birthday, the Oscar winner took to Instagram to share a sweet tribute to the college student, writing, “Watching your little girl grow into a gorgeous, thoughtful, compassionate, fun-loving young woman defies words. It has got to be the greatest gift I could ever receive. I love you @avaphillippe to the moon, around the stars and back! Happy 20th!”
In response, Ava commented on the post, “love you so much, mama.”
Along with the message, Reese also shared an adorable throwback photo of a young Ava smiling for the camera with a red bow in her hair.
After seeing the throwback picture, many of Reese’s followers noted how much the duo looked just like each other.
“Omg she is your double in the younger photo,” one social media user commented.
And this is just the latest photo in which Ava strikes an uncanny resemblance to her superstar mom.
Let’s take a look back at all of the mother-daughter duo’s twinning moments below!

Smiling Style
Witherspoon enlisted her daughter for Draper James’ spring collection in 2018 and if her goal was to make us do a double take it definitely worked.

Little Black Heels
In October 2017, the pair posed for photos in similar, but different ensembles. Notice the wavy locks, peep-toed heels and signature natural makeup looks both ladies rocked.

If it weren’t for the Oscar winner’s red lipstick, it would be quite the challenge telling these two apart.

It’s clear Phillippe inherited her mama’s signature grin.
