Between being an Oscar-winning actress, a book club connoisseur, and an incredible Hollywood producer with her company Hello Sunshine, Reese Witherspoon can really do it all. And whether you’re a fan of her as Legally Blonde‘s Elle Woods or follow her book club’s monthly recommendations, we can all agree that Witherspoon is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood.
As she continues to take part in our favorite TV shows and movies throughout the years, Witherspoon has also earned another important title: red carpet veteran. Whether it’s a star-studded award show or a movie premiere, Witherspoon’s fun and colorful taste in fashion paired with her contagious smile makes her one of the top actresses to look out for.
At the 64th Annual Golden Globes, for example, she looked absolutely radiant in a bedazzled yellow strapless midi dress that made her blonde locks and dark pink lips really pop. Most recently, she wore a gorgeous bright blue peplum dress to the premiere of her Netflix hit Your Place Or Mine. The look, which was paired with strappy black heels, made her matching blue eyes truly mesmerizing.
