Yea, Nay, Or Eh: Reese Witherspoon In Rodarte
March 23, 2009 12:07 pm
Spotted: Reese Witherspoon in Rodarte at the L.A. premiere of Monsters vs. Aliens. We give the girl points for scoring a Fall look just weeks after it walked down the runway (on Kinga Rajzak), but the actress lost us with the sexy hair and peep-toe shoes (the boots balanced the super-short length at the show). Maybe the accessory Witherspoon needed wasn’t a pair of sunglasses but a watch: This dramatic evening look wasn’t really meant for a sunny Cali day. What do you think: Is Reese’s look a monster mash or frightfully good?

the dress looked great on her, but i didn’t love the shoes.
By ceekayonly on 03/23/09 at 12:19 pmI think she looks sweet and spunky. Really, the woman has class to spare, and shows how well she can take a specifically-styled runway look and really make it her own. She’s a lovely, sunny California blonde, and I think its great that she looks it! That, and she’s got legs to spare, so who needs the boots!?
By TRK on 03/23/09 at 1:22 pmi have to agree with the original post…the hair and shoes don’t match the drama of the dress, especially for daytime. now, throw on a pair of leather leggings, some of the fierce rodate/christian louboutin heels from last season and a high pony and voila. i’d like to see her edge it out a little, wouldn’t you?
By kerileanne on 03/23/09 at 1:50 pmHow is this an evening look? It’s definitely a day dress in my opinion. And Reese looks great. She has the legs for it.
By EWallace on 03/23/09 at 3:51 pmI completely agree with kerileanne- overall not a good choice for the tone of the event. She doesn’t do the dress justice with the styling of her hair or accessories. She is a gorgeous woman without a doubt- but this is a miss.

By sfphotojournal on 03/24/09 at 1:13 amI love reese’ style, but this time it was a miss, the dress looks inappropriate and there is too much leg showing.. there was no way this was going to look great at a day time premier.. but congrats to kate and laura for all the attention Rodarte is getting
By tonyso84 on 03/24/09 at 2:44 amtrue to that… uncalled for. This is a clear example on how the accessories -including hair & makeup- can break an outfit… in this case, take away the shine that the dress actually has, because it is truly a piece of art
By andreverde on 03/24/09 at 3:58 amthis dress looks terribile on her!
By rosealice on 03/24/09 at 7:24 amas said maybe if worn in the evening she’ed have pulled it off, really not meant for the daytime!
the shoes and glasses??? what was she thinking, i like crossing styles but thats just done badly!
it looks very sweet. i think she changed into something age-appropriate.
By bevc on 03/24/09 at 12:48 pmit would have looked better if she had longer legs but it doesn’t look completely hanes
