She's an Academy Award-winning actress, philanthropist, and mother of three — and today Reese Witherspoon is 38! Reese stole our hearts in movies like Legally Blonde and Walk the Line and is easily one of the most beautiful, likable women in Hollywood. She has the street style game on lock, but we're not here to talk denim and tees, this is a celebration of Reese's red carpet enchantment. The blonde stunner always turns it out in sleek silhouettes, primary hues, and the occasional sculptural stunner — we're still in awe of her latest Giambattista Valli Couture moment — taking minimalistic-chic to new heights. So sit back, relax, and get ready to fall under Resse's ravishing red carpet spell.
