Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe Twin in Black at the 2024 Critics’ Choice Awards — A Mother-Daughter Fashion Moment in Celine and Louboutin

Ava Phillippe strikes an uncanny resemblance to her mom, Reese Witherspoon. And as she posed alongside the A-list superstar on the carpet at the recently concluded Critics’ Choice Awards, they had everyone doing a double-take.

Reese accompanied her daughter, Ava, to the ceremony, where she was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show. The series was also up for the Golden Globe Best TV Series Drama but lost to HBO’s Succession. Despite not winning any awards yet, Reese looked stunning as she walked the red carpet with her most prized possessions—her children.

The 47-year-old actress, blessed with strong genes, took her son Deacon, 20, to his first-ever awards ceremony, the 81st Golden Globes, a week prior.

Reese’s eldest daughter showcased her arm tattoos in a Monique Lhuillier embellished black minidress.

While the Filipino fashion designer is most recognized for her ethereal bridal gowns, she also creates timeless, modern pieces that exude grace and elegance.

Ava’s minidress perfectly encapsulated Lhuillier’s signature sophistication with pearl embellishments set atop black beads and flower-shaped sequins.

Ava accessorized her outfit with thin hoop earrings shining through her wavy blonde tresses. She then accentuated her blue eyes with smoky eyeshadow and mascara, finishing the look with matching pink lipstick and blush.

Dressing like a red-carpet pro, Ava enveloped her toned pins in sheer black tights before slipping her feet into one of Christian Louboutin’s most iconic shoe silhouettes, the “So Kate.”

Slightly taller than her 5ft 1 ½ (156.2 cm) mother, Ava boosted her 5’2″ height with the celebrity-favorite pumps named after supermodel Kate Moss. Their thin stiletto heels and pointed toes define these satin pumps.

Christian Louboutin “So Kate” Moments Worth Revisiting

Beloved for its razor-thin 120 mm stiletto and leg-lengthening silhouette, the Christian Louboutin “So Kate” pump remains a red-carpet staple. From nude patent leather to shimmering metallics, these YNS-featured looks capture the pump’s enduring allure and its role in defining celebrity elegance.

These Italian-made pumps also have the shoe designer’s signature lacquered soles and low vamps that lengthen the leg. You can find them at Mytheresa for $795.

Meanwhile, Reese opted for her signature effortless style, wearing a simple yet glamorous black dress custom-designed by Celine.

The large, asymmetrical bow across the waist gave the otherwise plain-looking column gown some flair. In addition, it featured a corseted strapless bodice for a figure-flattering fit and a thigh-high slit that revealed a glimpse of legs.

Adding glitz to the all-black look, the Fear star wore Bulgari diamonds, including teardrop earrings, a bracelet, and a statement ring.
