On March 22, 1976, Reese Witherspoon was born. 23 years later, she gave birth to her clone.
Well, figuratively speaking. As the Oscar winner's only daughter Ava Phillippe grows up before Hollywood's eyes, it's becoming clearer and clearer that the 17 year old is morphing into her famous mother's twin.
Their uncanny likeness took center stage yet again Tuesday night when the mother-daughter duo walked the red carpet together in honor of one of Witherspoon's latest projects, Home Again. While the film was meant to be the focus of the night, the twins ladies stole the spotlight as fans were once again mesmerized by their matching looks.
Their resemblance has not gone unnoticed by them, either, over the years. "People come up to her [all the time]. We were at a premiere and they were congratulating her on her performance," Witherspoon told E! News back in February at the premiere of HBO's Big Little Lies, for which Ava was her date. "She's like, 'I'm not in the movie.'"
Thanks to the following photographic evidence, it's easy to see why people mix the two up:
Summer Vibes
While enjoying a family summer vacation, Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe posed for a selfie and proved just how beautiful their bond is.
Sleigh Bells Ring
The Big Little Lies star joked she "had to beg" Ava to rock matching Draper James holiday sweaters.
Bundled Up
Reese and her mini-me daughter served some fresh winter fashion in January of this year in puffer coats.
High Altitude
The two ski bunnies snapped this cute selfie together before hitting the slopes.
Back in Black
The two looked like mirror images of one another in black dresses and a red lip in a post on Reese's Instagram in December of last year.
Lunch Date
"Lunch with my girl," Reese captioned this cute candid of the two enjoying delicious-looking salads.
Big Little Cuties
Talk about seeing double! The duo hits the red carpet for season two of Reese's show, Big Little Lies, in May 2019.
Birthday Wishes
The duo celebrates Reese's 43rd birthday! Ava takes to Instagram to send a sweet message to her momma, saying, "You are such a generous, conscientious, and passionately kind person, and I am so blessed to bear witness to your light and love each and every day!"
Twinning
In October 2018, Reese and her daughter stepped out at a gala in sexy little black dresses and they were totally twinning.
Premiere Partners
Clearly, Phillippe inherited her mom's killer, blonde locks and power stance.
Smiling Style
Witherspoon enlisted her daughter for Draper James' spring collection in 2018 and if her goal was to make us do a double take it definitely worked.

We know it's hard, but if you look closely these two look related. Oh wait, that's not right...they look like identical twins!
Little Black Heels
In October 2017, the pair posed for photos in similar, but different ensembles. Notice the wavy locks, peep-toed heels and signature natural makeup looks both ladies rocked.
Red Carpet Ready
If it weren't for the Oscar winner's red lipstick, it would be quite the challenge telling these two apart.
Smirking Sisters
It's clear Phillippe inherited her mama's signature grin.

From their piercing blue eyes to their platinum blonde locks, it was clear from day one that Phillippe was her mom's mini me.
Are these ladies identical or what!?
