Whenever Someone Wears This Dress, You Think "Hey — I've Seen That Before"

Jan 20 2016 - 6:00am

Is it just us, or is there something about this dress? You know — the two-tone black and white gown that balances a feminine off-the-shoulder silhouette with structure. When Reese Witherspoon [1] wore this Tom Ford version to the 2015 Academy Awards, we thought, "Hey, we've seen that before," immediately conjuring images of her 2011 Oscars number [2], an Armani Privé gown that was opposite in color, but strikingly similar in minimalist design.

Sure, some would say Reese just knows what works for her [3], but if you've paid careful attention to red carpets since [4], you'd know she's not the only star showing off the "black and white cookie" look. Read on to see how Amy Schumer, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and even Blake Lively [5] have tried Reese's signature style on for size. And keep your eyes peeled at the next ceremony — we doubt this is the last we'll see of this recognizable silhouette.
