They are hard enough to tell apart at the best of times, but when Reese Witherspoon and her daughter Ava Phillippe wear matching face masks, it’s virtually impossible to know who is who!

“Who’s who?” posted one fan, while another remarked “She looks exactly like you! A mini Reese.” Another follower said they had figured out which of the pretty blondes was Ava, because she had the “exact same eyes as Ryan” – referring of course to Ava’s dad Ryan Phillippe.

For anyone still in doubt – Reese is the one wearing the hat while 21-year-old Ava has a pair of sunglasses perched atop her head.
