You must have been living under a rock if you haven't seen Reese Witherspoon and her daughter Ava Phillipe go viral every few weeks for the last couple of years, while everyone delights at their uncanny resemblance. I mean who wouldn't want two Reese Witherspoons in this world? Actually three, if you count grandma, who completes the set.
While some like to say she looks more like her dad, and Reese's Cruel Intentions co-star, Ryan Phillippe, we are solidly team Reese-a-like.
Now in her 20s, Ava has been carving out her own path and career, and it seems she's carving out her own look too. Formerly sharing Reese's trademark golden locks, Ava has now dyed her hair a startling bright orange and she just looks so different!
Debuting the new look at Celine at The Wiltern in LA, there was a quick change for later attending a Saks festive party where the hair popped even more against her festive emerald dress.
Going all out with the autumn/winter copper hair trend, Ava has kept a more muted, long root with the vibrant orange tresses, and has certainly broken the spell of their uncanny resemblance. While of course she still looks a lot like her gorgeous mum, at least we can tell them apart now?
Ava said of the new colour; "Feels like… ✨a renaissance✨" and we're loving that for her.
Everyone's clicking on...
Though I do hope she goes back to blonde eventually because these three are too perfect of a golden trio.
Told you Grandma Betty completed the set!
