Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s son, Deacon, was his dad’s spitting image at the “Elle” premiere on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old recreated his father’s 2001 red carpet look from the “Legally Blonde” premiere, pairing a black suit with Ray-Ban sunglasses and a pink tie.
He wore his hair slicked back.
Witherspoon, for her part, sported a pink dress — just as she did to celebrate the franchise’s first installment with her then-husband over a decade ago.
This one, however, was a custom Monse lace number featuring off-the-shoulder puff sleeves.
The “I Know What You Did Last Summer” actor, 51, was her date at the time and also attended the “Legally Blonde 2” premiere two years later.
In 2006, the former couple called it quits after seven years of marriage.
The duo have since co-parented Deacon and his 26-year-old sister, Ava, who did not attend Tuesday night’s New York City event. The Oscar winner’s son Tennessee, 13, from her second marriage to Jim Toth, was absent as well.
“Elle,” the “Legally Blonde” prequel series, hits Prime Video on July 1 and follows a younger Elle Woods through her high school years.
Witherspoon was all smiles posing for pictures with the show’s lead, Lexi Minetree, who recently borrowing Witherspoon’s exact Marc Jacobs dress from the same 2001 premiere for a “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” interview.
Minetree went big with a voluminous custom Betsey Johnson gown for the premiere, in a soft pink, of course.
It was Deacon, however, that social media users dubbed Witherspoon’s “twin” on Tuesday.
“He has her whole entire face,” one fan gushed via Instagram, with another writing, “He is literally the male version of her.”
Phillippe said so in 2021 when he disagreed with viral chatter about Deacon being his mini-me.
After insisting at the time that Deacon was “way better looking,” the actor explained to E! News, “Obviously, there’s a father-son resemblance. But he actually looks a lot more like Reese’s side of the family. Ava looks more like mine.”
In addition to Deacon and Ava, Phillippe is the father of 14-year-old daughter Kai with ex Alexis Knapp.
