Reese Witherspoon‘s daughter, Ava Elizabeth Phillippe, turned 18 in high-society style at the elite le Bal des Débutantes in Paris this week. The blonde teen, who is the exact lookalike of her famous mother, added Hollywood glamour to the by-invitation-only event in a Giambattista Valli Spring 2017 couture long-sleeved ball gown constructed out of black honeycomb netting layered over gold polka-dot fabric.

Ava might’ve had a fairy-tale princess coming-out party, but when it comes to wearing high heels, she’s just like the rest of us. While waiting for the debutante ball to start, she was seen removing her towering black platform heels in The Peninsula Hotel’s foyer. She then slipped on a pair of white hotel slippers and gave her feet a rest to prepare for a night of posing and dancing.
Holding heels in your hand might not be the most elegant sight, but we completely understand the need to slip out of killer heels even for just a quick moment.

We’re only about 80 percent sure at this point, but Ava Phillippe’s shoes appear to be the Christian Louboutin “Louloudancing” platform sandals. Note the square buckles, the pointed tapered ends of the ankle straps and the thickness of the heels and the platforms.

We also caught a shadow of Louboutin’s signature red soles on Ava Phillippe’s shoes upon her arrival at the debutante ball’s venue. Reese Witherspoon herself also wore a black Giambattista Valli dress and Christian Louboutin “Marchavekel” knotted sandals (on sale for $839.99 at Bluefly), which amplifies our suspicion that Ava’s shoes are Louboutins as well.
