Ava Phillippe, Dakota Brubaker Make Red Carpet Debut

Ava Phillippe and Dakota Brubaker are red carpet official.

The daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe stepped out on the red carpet ahead of the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project 2025 Block Party June 28 alongside her boyfriend—who goes by the musician name Vindigo—for the first time as a couple.

For her part, the 25-year-old donned a layered cream-colored gown with intricate beaded detailing as well as a pair of chic sunglasses and silver hoop earrings. Meanwhile, Dakota sported a light beige linen suit and, of course, a pair of black sunnies to match.  

The duo’s red carpet debut comes nearly seven months after the influencer seemed to hard-launch their romance in a holiday Instagram photo dump, in which Dakota was touching her chin and leaning in to kiss her on the cheek while she made a pouty face toward the camera.

That same day, the musician also shared the romantic pic of the pair, as well as other photos of the duo. In one photo, he and Ava posed in front of a Christmas tree as she draped her hand on his leg and lovingly gazed at him. In another, the two attended the Next Gen 2024 event hosted by The Hollywood Reporter last November.
