Reese Witherspoon turned her son Deacon Phillippe’s movie premiere into a family celebration on Saturday night, attending the event to support his feature film debut in Brother Save Us.
The 50-year-old actress was joined on the red carpet at the 57th Nashville Film Festival by her daughter Ava, 27, and her mother, Betty, 78.
Witherspoon looked effortlessly youthful in a strapless white top paired with tailored black trousers.
Deacon, 22, embraced a standout look of his own, wearing a textured brown suit over a sheer brown shirt as he arrived for the premiere.
Ava made a glamorous statement in a slinky beige mini dress featuring a low neckline and delicate diagonal stripes, completing the look with white open-toe platform heels.
Betty radiated pride as she posed in a dark grey jacket, a colorful Gucci neckerchief and a black skirt.

Witherspoon shares Ava and Deacon with her former husband, actor Ryan Phillippe, 52.
The couple ended their marriage in 2008 after nine years together.
The actress later married Jim Toth, 56, in 2011, and they welcomed their son Tennessee on September 27, 2012. Witherspoon and Toth announced their separation in 2023, shortly before what would have been their 12th wedding anniversary.
Deacon graduated from New York University in May, with Phillippe, Ava, Tennessee and Toth among those supporting him at the ceremony.
Witherspoon later marked the achievement with a celebratory post on Instagram.
She wrote, ‘After four years of hard work, long days, endless papers and classes, working with the greatest teachers and making new friends…
‘My wonderful son graduated from @nyutisch! I’m so proud of you @deaconphillippe!’
As he prepares for his feature film debut, Deacon discussed the attention surrounding his status as a “nepo baby” in an interview with Variety this week.

‘I acknowledge that I’m extremely lucky, but you know, at the same time, I hold myself to a standard.
‘I’m not really looking to prove anything to anyone but myself to try 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.
