In an exclusive interview, Ava Phillippe, the new face of Vince Camuto Wonderbloom fragrance, opens up about the invaluable beauty advice she’s received from her Southern mother, Reese Witherspoon.
Phillippe, 24, emphasizes the significance of her mom’s guidance, particularly in the realm of beauty. Growing up in the South, Phillippe learned the timeless mantra: “Pretty is as pretty does.”
For Witherspoon and Phillippe, this adage transcends mere appearances; it underscores the importance of embodying good values and treating others with kindness and respect.
Reflecting on her mother’s wisdom, Phillippe shares, “You’re only as beautiful as you treat other people.” She believes that true beauty emanates from within and is rooted in kindness and authenticity.
The mother-daughter duo, known for their striking resemblance, have been spotted together at various fashionable events, including the Fendi Haute Couture show in Paris and the Critics Choice Awards.
At the Fendi show, Witherspoon, 47, exuded elegance in a black high-collar dress, while Phillippe opted for a vibrant yellow turtleneck paired with a gray skirt. Their coordinated ensembles and matching Fendi bags showcased their impeccable style.
During the Critics Choice Awards, where Witherspoon was nominated for best actress, the duo stunned in complementary all-black outfits. Witherspoon donned a chic floor-length Celine dress, while Phillippe dazzled in a pearl-adorned Monique Lhuillier minidress.
Witherspoon shared their red carpet looks on Instagram, captioning the photo, “Mother daughter date night,” reaffirming the bond and mutual admiration between the two.
