Reese Witherspoon turned her son Deacon Phillippe’s Saturday night movie premiere into a family celebration, stepping out to support him as he debuted Brother Save Us.
The 50-year-old actress was joined on the red carpet by her daughter Ava, 27, who bears a striking resemblance to her mother, and her own mother, Betty, 78. The three generations attended the 57th Nashville Film Festival together.
Witherspoon opted for a polished black-and-white look, pairing a strapless white top with tailored black trousers.
Deacon, 22, embraced a bold style for his big night. The rising actor wore a textured brown suit over a sheer brown shirt as he arrived for the premiere.
Ava made a statement in a fitted beige mini dress featuring a plunging neckline and fine diagonal stripes. She completed the look with white platform heels that revealed her toes.
Betty brought her own elegant touch to the occasion in a charcoal jacket, black skirt and a colorful Gucci neckerchief, smiling proudly as she posed with her family.

In May, Deacon graduated from New York University. Ryan Phillippe, Ava, Tennessee and Toth were among those who attended the ceremony to celebrate the achievement.

Witherspoon marked the milestone on Instagram, sharing a proud message for her son.
“After four years of hard work, long days, endless papers and classes, working with the greatest teachers and making new friends…” she wrote.
“My wonderful son graduated from @nyutisch! I’m so proud of you @deaconphillippe!”
As he begins his feature-film career, Deacon has also spoken openly about the attention surrounding his status as a so-called nepo baby. In an interview with Variety this week, he addressed the advantages that come with having famous parents.

“I acknowledge that I’m extremely lucky, but at the same time, I hold myself to a standard,” Deacon said.
“I’m not really looking to prove anything to anyone but myself. I’m trying to be the best version I can be, the best person I can be, and work as hard as I can,” he told the outlet.
Brother Save Us is set ‘on a farm in the dystopian Midwest, where crops are dying as the world crumbles, but an inseparable bond makes life worth living for brothers Cole and Nat,’ per Nashville Downtown.
The synopsis notes, ‘Cole works hard to fill Nat’s days with light and hope – to shield his brother from the harsh truths of their world. But after Pa buys an AI farm bot from the controversial tech company Agentico to ensure they make harvest, everything starts to change.’
Deacon is listed as a producer on the movie, which was directed and written by Jesse Behrenwald.
The project also stars Thomas Murphy Molony, Chandler Riggs, Forrest Weber, Amy Sloan, Kroydell Galima and Victor Holstein.
