When Ava Phillippe's formal photo popped up on our Instagram, we had to stop scrolling. Millions of thoughts ran through our heads: how much she looks like her stylish mom, Reese Witherspoon, how fashion-forward she is at just 16, and that she was wearing a dress we (no joke) already had in our cart.

Ava's no doubt a style star in the making, and we're loving the fact that she ditched the strapless, bright-colored fit-and-flare — a classic school-formal ensemble — for something black with bell sleeves. Read on to see the time her mom wore something very similar on the red carpet, then shop Ava's Nasty Gal dress for yourself.
