When Reese Witherspoon's daughter Ava was a tween, fans went wild pointing out how much she looked like her famous mom did at that age — and it's clear now that the A-list offspring isn't growing out of those good genes.

On Tuesday, Reese, 40, attended the Big Little Lies premiere with her 17-year-old mini-me in tow. Except, of course, Ava isn't so little anymore.

And in a photo Reese posted on Instagram the next day, the two ladies look like mirror images of each other as they get read to walk the red carpet.

Just identical: The two have shared twinning selfies together in the past

'With my ❤️always @avaphillippe .. #MotherDaughter #MatchyMatchy #Premiere #BigLittleLies,' she wrote.

In the snap, the two blondes are all dolled up and staring at each other, their sly smiles nearly identical and their heads similarly bent downwards. Fans couldn't help but point out how much they looked alike.

'Which one is you? your daughter is really beautiful,' wrote one. Another added, 'It's a reflection.'

'I can't get over how much you two look alike,' wrote another. 'I thought it was a collage picture, side by side.'

Later, the girls walked the carpet together, Reese in a stunning, spangled Elie Saab mini and Tiffany & Co. earrings and Ava in a gold, floral Haney number and a clip in her hair.

Many people have commented on their similarities before — particularly when, in the past, the mother-daughter duo has shared selfies together, highlighting their lookalike status.

In early January, fans freaked out when Reese Snapchatted an image of herself with Ava in which it's almost impossible to tell them apart, save for Ava's nose ring.

And last summer, she Instagrammed an outdoor selfie in which it was hard not to compare their golden locks, blue eyes, freckles, cute noses, and pink lips.

Despite some celebrity children who seem to bristle at comparisons, Ava seems quite proud of her famous mom.

After the premiere, she shared her own red carpet snap on Instagram with the caption: 'So proud of my awesome mama and her passion for this project. It is so nice to see these wonderful, talented women in roles just as dynamic as they are.'

Big Little Lies, which will air on HBO, also stars Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley.
