Even Reese Witherspoon finds it difficult to globe-trot at her leisure.
“It’s hard to travel when you have two small children,” she says. But her work as Avon’s global ambassador has taken her around the world in the fight against domestic violence and breast cancer and for emergency-relief fundraising.
A two-day summit on women’s issues brought Witherspoon to the nation’s capital on Tuesday, where she unveiled Avon’s latest fundraising initiative: the empowerment necklace. The small silver chain is an offshoot of last year’s empowerment bracelet, which helped raise $4 million for the Avon Women’s Empowerment Fund.
There is another stunning image of Reese in the April issue of Elle on their site.
Also here is a little write up talk about the cover shoot.
Reese Witherspoon arrived at L.A.’s Smashbox Studio wearing a sunny ensemble of boyfriend jeans from RRL, a creamcolor henley, and beaded gladiator sandals from Sigerson Morrison. The Elle team presented racks of airy, clean-cut classics, including a beige Rodarte gown the star vowed to wear at her next red carpet engagement. The mother of two swayed to a mixture of the White Stripes and Maroon 5 (her own iPod), while photographer Carter Smith snapped her in a sharp Calvin Klein blazer and skinny trousers. When boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal made a surprise visit to the set, the couple embraced, and as Witherspoon’s mix turned to a Jack Johnson tune, the two dropped everything and started slow dancing. Do we hear wedding bells?

Reese takes the April cover of Elle magazine! And let me say I think the cover and inside picture of Reese already released are some of her best ever; wow!
An Oscar, a divorce, and a guy named Jake have made Reese Witherspoon larger-than-life
On her divorce: “Very humiliating and very isolating…But, by the way, if it’s not painful, maybe it wasn’t the right decision to marry to begin with. Those are the appropriate emotions. When people get in your face and say, ‘This will pass,’ you think, Are they crazy? I’m never gonna feel any better than I feel right this minute and nothing’s ever gonna make sense again. And I still have moments where I’m like, Nothings ever gonna make sense again.”
On dealing with the pain that stems from divorce: “You see a lot of people play this blame game. Blame, blame, blame. You know? And it’s a really easy thing to do, and I’m certainly guilty of it. [You have to] look at yourself and go, ‘What part of this do I need to own? Which part of this is my responsibility? And that’s the painful work that you have to go through to hopefully get some real life knowledge out of it.”
On boyfriend, Jake Gyllenhaal: “He’s fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy. Unfortunately, he’s not in the movie, so we can’t really talk about him.”
Reese Witherspoon, global ambassador and honorary chairperson of the Avon Foundation for Women, announced at a press conference before the Global Forum a new Avon fundraising product: the Women’s Empowerment Necklace.
Launched as a companion piece to the 2008 Women’s Empowerment Bracelet, the Necklace is accessibly priced at just $5.00. It will be sold through Avon‘s Sales Representatives and on www.avon.com. All net proceeds of the Necklace will support domestic violence programs, building upon the $4 million already raised by the Bracelet in one year. In the US every Women’s Empowerment product sold will include a free Domestic Violence Resource Guide to increase awareness of this epidemic of violence and encourage everyone to speak out so it stops.
In the gallery you can view pictures of Reese at the conference. She looked very pretty and classy in a dark dress and wearing her own empowerment necklace. Thanks to Mariana for lending many photo donations of this event!
