Ava Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon's Daughter, Made Her Debut in Paris Looking Like a Real-Life Princess
Reese Witherspoon’s look-alike daughter Ava Phillippe made her official society debut in Paris on Saturday night. And not only did she look like a real-life princess in her shimmering gold tea-length gown, she waltzed like one, too. (Hey, she might not be royalty-royalty, but she’s definitely Hollywood royalty.)
With her famous mom escorting her, the 18-year-old attended the Bal des Debutantes at the Peninsula Paris hotel. The event, which is in its 25th year, brings together around 20 young girls from around the world to celebrate their entry into society.
Phillippe looked incredible in a gold, long-sleeved Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown that was basically made for the Kira Kira app (so shimmery). Before the event, she posed on the red carpet with Witherspoon, who looked beyond proud and wore a black floral embellished gown and black fur coat.
The debutante entered the ballroom with her dapper escort for the night, Maharaja Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur, who was dressed to the nines in a formal tuxedo. According to People, he’s known in Parisian circles as “Pacho,” has been known to polo with royalty—in particular, future heir to the British throne Prince William—and is a member of India’s national team for the sport.
The duo took to the dance floor for a waltz to a song from La La Land—and the pair practically looked like professionals as they twirled around the room. People reported that Singh told journalists he only learned the waltz steps only a few weeks before, so sign this duo up for Dancing With the Stars. They were that good.
Steve Harvey’s daughter, Lori, was among the other debutantes there. The two American women join the ranks of other celebrity debs including Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ children, Scout and Tallulah Willis, as well as Sylvester Stallone’s daughter, Sophia Rose Stallone, who have also attended the spectacular Parisian event.
