Reese Witherspoon’s lookalike son Deacon towered over his famous mother as the pair attended the 2024 WSJ Innovators Awards in NYC on Tuesday.
The Oscar-winning actress, 48, who stands at a petite 5ft1 was dwarfed by her 5ft10 son, 21 despite her high stiletto heels as they happily posed together.
Reese wowed in a black bodycon one-shoulder dress that flaunted her petite figure.
She teamed her elegant look with black heels and simple gold hoop earrings.
Deacon – whose dad is Reese’s ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, 50, – looked sharp in a white shirt and navy suit.

Nepo baby Deacon has been living in New York City since starting New York University in 2022 and quickly began following his famous parents’ footsteps into acting.
In addition to appearing in two episodes of Netflix’s popular series, Never Have I Ever, Deacon released a 12-track album, A New Earth, last year.
Meanwhile, the Legally Blonde star has been busy shooting season four of The Morning Show with Jennifer Aniston in New York.
The Oscar winner welcomed Deacon during her nine-year marriage to Ryan Phillippe.
The former couple also share daughter, Ava, 24.
The exes met at the Morning Show star’s 21st birthday party in 1997.
Two years later they starred in Cruel Intentions together with Selma Blair and got married.
Phillippe and Witherspoon split in October 2006 and issued a joint statement at the time.

‘We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate,’ a rep for the couple said.
‘They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time.’
Witherspoon went on to marry Jim Toth and welcome son Tennessee, 11.
She and Toth announced their split in March 2023.
The Prey actor never got remarried, but shares daughter Kai, 12, with his ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp.
Reese is now in a relationship with financier Oliver Haarmann, 57.
Their relationship first caught the public’s attention this past July when they took a helicopter ride together into New York City.
From there they made their way to the L’Artusi restaurant in the West Village of downtown Manhattan for a romantic dinner date for two.
At that time one source claimed they were just ‘friends’, while another said The Morning Show star was ‘taking things slow when it comes to dating.’
