Reese Witherspoon's best fashion moments

Wearing Elie Saab at the Big Little Lies premiere

This sparkly dress with big shoulders was a bit busier than we’re used to seeing on Reese. But it did maintain her favourite shape in a short hemline and shows off her great legs.

Wearing a suit at ELLE’s 18th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute

Straying from her usual feminine gowns, Reese gave a sleek suit the feminine treatment by wearing it with a lace camisole underneath. Simple touselled hair and striking green earrings complete this simple and powerful look.

Wearing Jason Wu at the 2015 Met Gala

Sometimes simple—in a knockout colour—is best. Reese stuns in red while attending the Costume Institute Benefit Gala in 2015. The theme? China: Through The Looking Glass.

Wearing Tom Ford at the 87th Annual Academy Awards

Reese’s preference for simple column gowns is well documented at this point—and we have to agree, they look fantastic on her, adding height and definition to her petite frame. This black and white number from Tom Ford is classic.

Wearing Giorgio Armanu at the 21st Annual SAG Awards

In 2015 at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Reese opted for an asymmetrical white gown, changing up her usual preference for strapless dresses. This dress fits her perfectly, and she wisely kept her hair up and her accessories simple so that the dress was on display.

Wearing Calvin Klein at the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards

In 2015 Reese was nominated for her role in Wild, and though she didn’t win (Julianne Moore did), she landed on every best dressed list. This Calvin Klein column gown was a favoured shape that Reese loves, but it’s sparkly and glittering finish was something new. Reese looks radiant!

Wearing Stella McCartney at the 2014 Met Gala

We aren’t used to seeing Reese in such a bold colour, but this hot pink gown by Stella McCartney is a win! The dramatic neckline and hue are grounded by the simple silhouette and show off her toned arms and retro hairstyle. Extra points for matching her lips to her dress!

Wearing Armani Prive at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards

This simple strapless Armani Prive gown was a no brainer for Reese who loves a form-fitting strapless dress. The black and white combo is one that she comes back to again and again, though we love the touch of colour in her green earrings.

Wearing Atelier Versace at the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards

We love that Reese opted for a short dress when she attended the Golden Globes in 2007—it’s not something that’s done often. This Atelier Versace dress is the perfect sunny complement (see, blonds can wear yellow!) to her new hairstyle (she debuted bangs). But, it’s the expert pairing of her yellow dress with her burgundy satin sandals that have us most excited about this look.

Wearing vintage Dior at the 78th Annual Academy Awards

Reese accepted her Best Actress Oscar for her role in Walk The Line wearing vintage Dior. She looks stunning—the delicate and gilded beading on the dress is a work of art, and she strayed from her usual column silhouette for this feminine A-line. Plus, the colour complements her new hardware—the Oscar—perfectly, no?

Wearing light blue at the Vanity Fair premiere

In 2004, Reese was briefly a brunette for her role in the upcoming Walk The Line. While she would return quickly to blonde, we love that we got a few red carpet moments of this rich shade. It works especially well with this pale green-ish, blue-ish dress that she wore to the 2004 premiere of Vanity Fair.

Wearing black at the 74th Annual Academy Awards

In 2002 a very young Reese Witherspoon wore this black dress to the Academy Awards. We love the vintage vibe of this whole look, her hair and bag included. It’s a simple black dress, but is elevated for this special occasion with lace detailing and intricate beading.
