Ava Phillippe shows good genes really run in the family.

Reese Witherspoon shared a sweet image on Monday, September 9, grabbing drinks with her lookalike daughter in coordinating black looks. They both kept their makeup simple in the image, with Phillippe sporting a darker pink on her lips.

The 25-year-old accessorized her black blazer with black tights and coordinating loafers, also donning a pair of gold hoop earrings. Phillippe wore her long, blonde hair down, tucked behind her ear, while her mom sported a chic updo.
