Reese Witherspoon got to play dress up while fulfilling her duties as Avon's Global Ambassador on a trip to Japan today. She looked adorable in her kimono at a tea ceremony and at a press conference showing off her Women's Empowerment Bracelet. Reese is in Asia to spread awareness about breast cancer and meet with survivors, and she talked about how she and Avon can help, saying,

"As Avon's Global Ambassador, I'm honored to have this opportunity to meet with such extraordinary women, and experience a highlight of Japanese culture. While their courage is inspiring, I was saddened to hear that only about 12 percent of women in Japan receive regular breast cancer screening. The lack of testing equipment and breast cancer experts in Japan means that many women here do not have access to the medical technology and care that is critical to diagnose and fight this deadly disease."

All over the world or just home in LA with her family, Reese never fails to impress us with her commitment to helping change the world.
