Following her role as the unstoppable and irresistible Elle Woods in the Legally Blonde films, Reese Witherspoon, who had previously starred as slightly more sinister characters in Election and Pleasantville, was quickly appointed as America’s newest sweetheart. Since then, Witherspoon has come even more into her own, showing unprecedented ambition through a diversity of roles, which includes her pinnacle, Oscar-winning work as June Carter in Walk the Line, the self-destructive Cheryl Strayed in Wild, and, most recently, the stubborn, but hardworking reporter on The Morning Show. Off-screen, Witherspoon has garnered even more attention for her powerhouse-producing streak and recent venture, Hello Sunshine, which aims to project female-driven stories across multiple digital platforms. That’s all to say she’s a multi-faceted woman, and of course, she has a wardrobe to match. For over three decades, Witherspoon has taken on the red carpet, and honestly, her aesthetic hasn’t altered too much in that time. Sparkly, form-fitting, and feminine is Witherspoon’s MO, and brands like Celine, Versace, Elie Saab, and Michael Kors Collection have helped her achieve the desired effect at some of the biggest events of the year. Now, to celebrate the actress’ 48th birthday, we’re looking back at her long history of looks, from her days promoting Cruel Intentions and Legally Blonde to now.
