With their matching blonde tresses and piercing blue eyes, the duo looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.

“I’m seeing double,” one user wrote.

“Omg you two are gorgeous, just like two sisters!” another fan commented.

“She does look like she could be your twin! Is this your sister Reese?” another added, while a third simply commented: “TWINS! You literally birthed yourself!”

It isn’t just fans who think the duo look alike, Witherspoon has previously revealed she can see it too.

“I do see the resemblance,” she admitted during a red carpet appearance during the Big Little Lies premiere in 2017, as reported by Vanity Fair.

“She’s a beautiful person inside and out. She's just a good soul.

“I'm not sure what she thinks. I'm just mom to her. I really have a rich, personal relationship with my daughter. I have a really great career, and it's nice to be able to share it with my kids.”

Ava also has two siblings, Tennessee Toth and Deacon Phillippe, who are also often pictured on the pair’s Instagram accounts.

The pair appear to have a close bond and often talk publicly of their relationship.

“This is the gorgeous woman who taught me about the power of graciousness, love, ambition, and hard work,” Ava wrote about her mum on Instagram in 2019.

“She inspires me everyday to live with gratitude for the life I've been given and compassion for others. I’m thinking about her a little extra today, that’s all.”
