Reese Witherspoon Rates Her Red-Carpet Looks
– From InStyle.com

True Lies Premiere, 1994
“O, come on! I was 18. Look at my purse. That was my mom’s purse I must have borrowed it from her. I take no responsibility for it! It’s so funny to look at this, but I guess it’s all part of the journey, right?”

The House of Yes Premiere, 1997
“Wow. Look at my boots. I don’t even wear boots anymore because I realized that they make me look like a mushroom. I was really into Courtney Love, as you can tell. I like my hair, though.”

In Vintage Christian Dior, Academy Awards, 2006
“Oh my dress. I still have it, it’s been properly stored away. I’ll never wear it again; it was a moment in time. Maybe Ava will—it would make a pretty wedding dress.”

In Nina Ricci, Screen Actors Guild Awards, 2007
“I don’t pretend to know anything about clothes when I’m collaborating with someone like [designer] Olivier Theyskens. I’ll say whether I like a color and then let him be creative. His pieces have a great silhouette.”

In Marchesa, Country Music Awards, 2008
“This dress is sexy but demure. My girlfriends and I had so much fun that night—we met Lee Ann Womack, Martina McBride and Michelle Branch.”

In Rodarte, Monsters vs. Aliens Premiere, 2009
“I love the Rodarte designers. They’re such fun girls. They make everything they sell by hand—they take the time to really think how women feel in their clothes. I was feeling a little Barbarella here.”

In Beverly Hills, 2009
“This look is what I would call my uniform. Dresses are easier than putting together a top and a bottom. And I always wear sunglasses. If I don’t wear makeup, I feel like I have to cover my face! Those shoes, I’ve had for 400 million years.”
