Reese Witherspoon brought back a major 2010s trend at a New York screening of her new film “You’re Cordially Invited” on Tuesday.
The actress wore a black Louis Vuitton skirt suit consisting of a zip-up collarless jacket and miniskirt with peplum details. The flared silhouette has been revived in the 2020s, with stars like Nicole Kidman and Emma Stone modeling peplum gowns at the Academy Awards in 2022 and 2024, respectively.

Witherspoon was dressed by her longtime stylist, Petra Flannery, who also counts Amy Adams and Zoe Saldaña as clients.
Hairdresser Lona Vigi styled Witherspoon’s blond tresses in waves, while makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan Fisher gave her rose gold eye shadow and a rosy terracotta lip.
On the red carpet, Witherspoon posed with her costar, Will Ferrell, who layered a brown suede jacket over a navy sweater and olive green trousers.
The “Legally Blonde” star also modeled a skirt suit at the U.K. premiere of “You’re Cordially Invited” on Thursday, wearing a cropped blazer and slit pencil skirt by Dolce & Gabbana.

Witherspoon evoked her character from the 2001 film in October while speaking at Hello Sunshine’s Shine Away event in Los Angeles, modeling a Carolina Herrera dress in Elle Woods’ signature hue: pink.
The actress selected a flared midi silhouette from the label’s resort 2025 collection, which features button embellishments and a thin belt. She added on small gold hoops, completing her look with metallic cap-toe slingbacks.
Witherspoon is searching for the next Elle Woods, as a prequel series to “Legally Blonde” is currently in pre-production. An open casting call was announced by the actress on Instagram last spring.
“Before she became the most famous Gemini vegetarian to graduate from Harvard Law, she was just a regular ‘90s high school girl,” she wrote of the show’s premise. “And all of you are going to get to know her, next year on @primevideo I’m so excited!”
“Elle” will be produced by Witherspoon’s own production company, Hello Sunshine, which she founded in 2016.
