Reese Witherspoon and Daughter Ava Phillippe Model Together for Draper James
Just two days after making her modeling debut for Rodarte, 18-year-old Ava Phillippe is now the face of another fashion brand, her mother Reese Witherspoon's clothing line, Draper James. She and her superstar-mom flaunt the label's Spring 2018 collection in a new campaign full of Valentine's Day-friendly looks, just in time for the holiday.

Though they couldn't look more identical, their personal styles differ. "She and I agree on a lot of what’s 'fashionable,' but we have different taste, and she’s really respectful of my personality as I express it through clothes," Phillippe said of her mother to Love, Reese, the Draper James blog.
But, like many mothers and daughters, they occasionally share wardrobes. "Ava and I also share clothes sometimes, and it makes me so happy to see how she expresses her own personal style with each outfit she creates," Reese added. "She is cutting her own creative path in this world, and I could not be prouder of her."

Phillippe and Witherspoon had fun together in front of the camera, but Ava also enjoyed seeing her mother show off her business side.
"I love being around my mom, and this shoot was an opportunity to have fun and support her work as a female entrepreneur," she said. "She also brings a lot of comfort and positive energy with her to work, and I think it’s inspiring to see her personal relationships with everybody on set."

"I thought it might be fun to focus on Mother/Daughter love this Spring," Witherspoon said of Ava, who just made her official debut in November.
"There is nothing like the love I have for my daughter," the Big Little Lies star added. "We share every emotion with each other, our hopes, and dreams… We can talk for hours!!"
Considering her rising It Girl status, we wouldn't be surprised if Ava continued to make her mark in the fashion world in the near future.
