Ava Phillippe, the new face of Vince Camuto Wonderbloom fragrance, is taking her mom’s advice to heart when it comes to beauty.
The 24-year-old especially listens to her mother, Reese Witherspoon, for guidance on maintaining a genuine inner beauty that reflects on the outside.
“My mom is Southern,” Phillippe shared with PEOPLE exclusively while discussing her new role with Vince Camuto. “A big saying in the South, especially amongst women, is, ‘Pretty is as pretty does.'” For Witherspoon and Phillippe, this phrase emphasizes the importance of embodying good values and kindness, as true beauty goes beyond surface-level appearances.
Phillippe, whose father is Witherspoon’s ex Ryan Phillippe, emphasized the significance of treating others with respect and kindness to truly radiate beauty from within. She mentioned, “Beauty is really subjective, but what’s not is being kind and being open and treating people with respect. I think that you glow from within when you’re a good person.”
The mother-daughter duo has been spotted together at various fashionable events recently, including the Fendi Haute Couture show in Paris, where Witherspoon donned a black high-collar dress while Phillippe opted for a yellow turtleneck and gray skirt combo. Their matching Fendi bags and complementary sunglasses added an extra touch of style to their coordinated looks.
At the Critics Choice Awards, Witherspoon, nominated for best actress for her role in the show “Morning Show,” and Phillippe showcased their twinning game in all-black outfits. Witherspoon stunned in a floor-length black Celine dress with a thigh-high slit, while Phillippe rocked a pearl-adorned black Monique Lhuillier minidress.
The duo continues to make headlines not only for their impeccable fashion sense but also for their strong bond as mother and daughter. With Phillippe honoring her mother’s timeless beauty advice, it’s clear that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in this stylish and loving family.
