Reese Witherspoon’s son Deacon Phillippe attended a Fendi event in New York City on Tuesday evening, on the heels of his college graduation.
The 22-year-old musician looked chic in a V-neck black sweater, black jeans, and polished black loafers.
His dark hair was slicked back and he posed alongside athlete Dylan Martin at the designer’s baguette re-edition soiree.
It comes days after Deacon’s New York University graduation, which he showcased in an Instagram post last week.
He attended the prestigious institution’s Tisch School of the Arts, and his graduation ceremony was held at Radio City Music Hall.
His mom, 50, dad Ryan Phillippe, 51, sister Ava Phillippe, 26, brother Tennessee Toth, 13, and stepdad Jim Toth, 55, were all present for the special occasion.
