Ava Phillippe mistaken for her mum by photographers at last night’s Emmys

Like mother, like daughter.

Like mother, like daughter.

Reese Witherspoon was front and centre at last night’s Emmys as she took to the stage to accept the award for Outstanding Limited Series for the hit show Big Little Lies.

However, earlier on in the night, it was her daughter Ava who was receiving all the attention.

Hounded by photographers, Ava was a woman in demand when it came to pictures last night.

However, it seems it was all a case of mistaken identity for some, as Ava apparently had to tell them that they had confused her for her look-alike mother.

Last night was a dream! ✨

Ava was on her mother’s arm for the big night and stepped in for group shots alongside Reese’s Big Little Lies co-stars.

Yes, people have often commented on how similar the pair are, so we think it’s a pretty innocent mistake.

Wow. What a night. Thanks for everyone who supported us and this vision. ✨ #BigLittleLies #BigLittleLadies
