Reese Witherspoon arrived at the premiere of Elle in New York on June 23 with her son Deacon on her arm — and people stopped looking at her pink lace dress to focus on something else: the two share the same smile, the same features, the same energy. 😲 At 22, Deacon is practically a copy of his mom.
What’s curious is that he also gave a nod to the past: he chose a black suit and magenta tie to recreate the look his dad, Ryan Phillippe, wore to the same Legally Blonde premiere 25 years ago. Half Reese, half Ryan — and yet, her genetics won the night. 💕
While the world debated who he looks more like, Witherspoon was experiencing one of her most emotional moments: passing the pink torch to the new Elle Woods, Lexi Minetree. “I couldn’t be more proud”, she said through tears. But in the photos, the image that remained was another one: a 50-year-old mom walking with her miniature version. ❤️
