Reese Witherspoon’s Daughter Channels 'Legally Blonde' Glam in Pink Bikini for Acting Debut

Reese Witherspoon’s daughter, Ava Phillipe, is stepping into the spotlight in a big way, channeling her mom’s iconic Legally Blonde character for her acting debut on ABC’s Doctor Odyssey. The 25-year-old model and actress made waves on Wednesday when she appeared in a behind-the-scenes clip for the medical drama, rocking a hot pink bikini reminiscent of Elle Woods’ unforgettable Harvard application video from the 2001 rom-com.

Phillipe is set to guest-star in Thursday’s episode alongside two other Hollywood offspring: Paris Jackson, the daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson, and Charlotte Lawrence, whose parents are producer Bill Lawrence and actress Christa Miller. Talk about a star-studded lineage!

Reese and Ava have long been known for their tight-knit bond. Back in 2018, Witherspoon publicly praised her daughter for her “strong opinions” and “empathy,” noting how Ava frequently educates her on current events and challenges faced by young women. That same year, Ava reflected on her mom’s influence, calling her a “gorgeous woman” who taught her the power of graciousness, ambition, and compassion in a heartfelt Instagram tribute.

Let’s be real—Reese and Ava’s relationship is a total mother-daughter goals situation. Ava’s acting debut, complete with Elle Woods-inspired glam, feels like a full-circle moment for fans who’ve followed their dynamic over the years. And honestly, who wouldn’t want Reese Witherspoon cheering them on from the sidelines?
