“time to see how the other half lives 💃🏻 #brunette,” she joked in the caption of her photo in which her darker, choppy waves framed her face and reached just below her shoulders.

She looked cute yet effortless in black cat-eye sunglasses and a red mini-dress while posing in front of a wall covered in lush green vines.

The child of the actress, 48, and her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, 49, was flooded with compliments in the comments section of her post.

Despite the changes to her hair, her followers were convinced that she still looked very much like Witherspoon, who is known for her blond tresses.

“You look like your mom so much!” a supporter commented.

“I swear I thought this was Reese at first glance 😮,” a second person said.

“How do you look even more like your mom now 😂,” another wondered.

Ava is extremely close with her famous mom and they often attend events together.

In April, the mother-daughter duo twinned in strapless gowns at a ritzy Tiffany & Co. soirée. In January, they attended the Fendi Paris Fashion Week show together.

Days prior, Ava and Witherspoon had a “date night” in coordinating black dresses at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards.

In May, Ava took to TikTok to hit back at toxic body-shamers who made comments about her weight.

“NBD but I just achieved a major milestone as a woman online,” Ava captioned the video at the time.

“I saw 2 different strangers commenting on my body,” she continued. “The first said I should get on Oz*mpic because I’m too fat. The second accused me of starving myself because I’m too thin.”

Ava told the public that her weight had never changed and that it wouldn’t be anyone’s business if it had.

“It’s such bulls–t,” she wrote. “No one deserves to be picked apart for what they look like.”

Witherspoon shares Ava and son Deacon, 20, with Phillippe, to whom she was married from 1999 to 2007.

The “Morning Show” star also shares son Tennessee, 11, with her second husband, Jim Toth, whom she divorced last summer after 12 years of marriage.
