Reese Witherspoon is known for showing off her holiday spirit. This year, she decorated (impeccably) for Christmas early with garlands and pine cones surrounding her wooden staircase. But Witherspoon’s house wasn’t the only change this holiday season. Her look-alike daughter, Ava, made a notable style change that I can’t take my eyes off. Other than
