Reese Witherspoon brought her son out to support her Big Little Lies bestie!
At the premiere of Zoë Kravitz‘s directorial debut, Blink Twice, on Thursday, Witherspoon, 48, brought her 20-year-old son, Deacon Phillippe, as her black carpet date.
In a cute mother-son moment at Los Angeles’ DGA Theater Complex, the two smiled for the cameras side-by-side. The Legally Blonde star wore a chic black blouse with matching wide-leg pants. Her music producer son opted for a more casual fit with a navy polo shirt, white pants and white sneakers.
Witherspoon shares son Deacon and lookalike daughter Ava Phillippe, 24, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, whom she announced her split from in 2006 after seven years of marriage. Ava was also at the event but opted out of the carpet.
The Morning Show star additionally shares son Tennessee, 11, with her second husband, Jim Toth, whom she divorced last summer after 12 years of marriage.
On the carpet, Witherspoon also posed with Big Little Lies co-star Laura Dern. Witherspoon, Kravitz and Dern will reprise their roles on the murder drama for its highly anticipated third season. The hit HBO series also stars Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley.
Blink Twice is a psychological thriller directed and co-written by Kravitz. It stars Kravitz’s fiancé, Channing Tatum, as Slater King, a tech billionaire who meets cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) at his fundraising gala. He invites her to join him and his friends on a vacation to his private island, but Frida soon finds out that paradise isn’t all that it seems.
Kravitz spoke to ET on the carpet about how she felt about having her Big Little Lies family support her directorial debut.
“I feel so many things. It’s been a seven-year journey. I don’t think I even understand what’s happening right now,” Kravitz said. “I can’t believe I’m here.”
She then gushed about Witherspoon and Dern, who both have some directing experience.
“Well they’ve just been an incredible inspiration to me,” Kravitz told ET. “Having a community of women like that has honestly changed my life and, you know, being on that show really showed me what can happen when women step behind the camera in so many different ways. So I’m very grateful to have them here tonight to support me.”
As for any progress on season 3 of Big Little Lies, Kravitz said she’s still waiting on a script.
Blink Twice hits theaters Aug. 23.
