Fans of the actress and her celebrity friends took to the comments in awe of the shots, as Zooey Deschanel commented: "So beautiful," and many like Tracee Ellis Ross, Julianne Moore, and Kerry Washington dropped flame emojis.

However, there were several fans who were left seeing double, as they initially thought they were looking at pictures of Reese's lookalike 22-year-old daughter, Ava Phillippe.

Many fans thought Reese's new pictures were actually of her daughter Ava instead

One fan wrote: "I thought this was your daughter at first glance," with another saying: "Swear thought this was Ava," and a third also added: "Totally thought that was your daughter not you."

Even so, the comments couldn't get enough of Reese's boss look and many left strings of flame and heart emojis for the Legally Blonde actress.
