Reese Witherspoon on How Her Skin Has Changed After Having Kids


There’s perhaps no movie star with more anticipated projects on her plate than Reese Witherspoon. From the upcoming second season of Big Little Lies to Legally Blonde 3, the 43-year-old actress/producer/CEO just keeps giving us one gift after the other. But there’s one project she has yet to announce and would be fascinating if she did: the story of Elizabeth Arden.

Witherspoon has been the face of the iconic beauty brand (or its “Storyteller-in-Chief,” as they call her) for the past two years. Although Arden passed away years before Witherspoon was born, you get the feeling this was a woman the Oscar-winner was born to play. “I love her story,” Witherspoon tells Glamour, which was the inspiration behind the Broadway hit War Paint. “She started a beauty brand [in 1910] before women even had the right to vote. We stand here because of women like her, who were bold enough and headstrong enough to start their own businesses and pave the way for the rest of us.”

So while we wait for a Witherspoon/Arden movie to materialize, the actress found another way to honor the former nurse turned business owner—an intimate garden party to celebrate the launch of two new fragrances from the White Tea Collection and the brand’s most innovative sunscreen to date. Here, she tells Glamour about the essential beauty lesson she’s passed down to daughter, Ava, the city that inspires her look, and the makeup secret that her BLL character, Madeline Martha Mackenzie, swears by.

Glamour: What’s one beauty rule you swear by?

RW: Great skin care. As you get older and start seeing wrinkles and fine lines, it’s so important to moisturize and use great products that really hydrate and take care of your skin. I clean my skin every night.

What’s one beauty rule you think is B.S.?

RW: I don’t think beauty has to be prohibitively expensive. There are great products that are very affordable. You might invest in a more expensive skin care routine, but then also buy a Revlon eyelash curler.

Speaking of, if you had $20 and free rein of a drugstore, what would you pick up?

RW: Probably a Revlon eyelash curler! I like browsing and looking at colors and new developments from different brands. I’m just very curious about beauty.

Fill in the blank: I love my hair when…

RW: I love when I get my highlights. My colorist Lorri Goddard is the best. I’ve gone to her for 15 years, and she’s taken me from brown to blond to red back to blond. I just feel better getting my hair done.

You travel a ton. What city or country inspires you the most?

RW: I love going to Rio de Janeiro. I love beautiful, bronze skin with gorgeous bronze eyes. The women are so beautiful there and the men are so handsome. There’s such a joyful attitude there. There’s music and food, and it’s about really living your life to the fullest.

You’re about to be stranded on a deserted island. What three products do you bring?

RW: Definitely sunscreen. I love the new Elizabeth Arden Great 8 Sunscreen. It’s part of the eight hour product line, and it goes on clear, so you don’t have that white ghost face. After that, I’d bring the Elizabeth Arden serum eye capsules, which I use every day, as well as the night cream, which is really good and smells delicious.

Reese Witherspoon Loves That She’s ‘Earned’ Her Gray Hairs and Fine Lines


Reese Witherspoon has basically grown up in front of the world. She starred in her first film—the wonderful Man in the Moon—in 1991, when she was just 14 years old. Now, at 43, she’s not only a successful actress but an acclaimed producer who’s helping shepherd interesting stories about all different kinds of women through the Hollywood machine.

Even though she works in an industry that has long been focused on women’s looks—and struggled to know what to do with them as they get (gasp!) older—she’s not afraid of aging. In fact, she’s proud of the physical signs of getting older. “I have a point of view because I’ve been on this planet for 43 years, and I didn’t feel that same way when I was 25,” she says in a new interview with Allure. “I didn’t have the same things to say. I’m 43 and I’ve had a whole bunch of experiences, and I can speak with a thoughtfulness about the changes I’d like to see in the world, and…I just feel like I earned that gray hair and my fine lines. I like ’em. I so prefer 43 to 25.” As a fellow 43-year-old woman myself, I very much agree with everything Witherspoon says here.

But she also gets those grays touched up by her longtime colorist, Lorri Goddard, and that’s OK too. “It takes three hours to have my highlights done, no joke. I go every seven or eight weeks,” she said. “I’m starting to get gray around the edges of my hairline. Lorri doesn’t like to call them grays, though. She says they’re ‘hyper-blonds.'”

Obviously, Witherspoon has looked fabulous at every age, but she does have some beauty regrets from the nineties—including dark brown lipstick, which she wore to get her driver’s license at 16, and ultra-thin eyebrows. “In the nineties, we plucked our brows really thin. I said ‘we’…at least I did. And it just looked awful. Thank God they grew back, but, I mean, who knows what they might look like now if I hadn’t plucked them into oblivion!”

Reese Witherspoon Had the Funniest Response to Rumors She and Jennifer Garner Are Pregnant


When you’ve been mega-famous as long as Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Garner have, I’m guessing you probably learn to ignore most of the ridiculous tabloid headlines you glimpse about yourself. But, seeing as how celebrities are also human beings with feelings, the especially outrageous ones can still make them do a double-take—or just give them a good laugh.

Case in point: A recent cover of OK! features a photo of the two women with the headline “Baby Bombshell! Shock and Joy for Hollywood BFFs.” Of course, Witherspoon had the most perfect response to the coverline. She posted the cover on social media with the caption, “Hey @jennifer.garner! Can we raise our imaginary babies together?”

The post obviously struck a chord with other celebs, who quickly chimed in. Gwyneth Paltrow simply commented, “???” while Sara Foster said, “That’s so amazing! Congrats to both of you! How exciting!” Sarah Michelle Gellar wrote, “Only if I can imaginary babysit!” to which Witherspoon responded, “Will you be the imaginary godmother?” Ali Wentworth even offered to throw the shower.

There were also some amazing responses on Twitter where one person wrote, “I often wondered what actors thought while going thru the checkout ? haha.” Another was surprised the story wasn’t about another Jen, “Well, it’s not Jen Anniston [sic] this time, so that’s genuinely surprising. I mean, she’s been pregnant for like 10 years at least ? #DontBelieveTabloids.”

Another user replied, “Oh come on now Rheese [sic], if magazine says it’s true, than it MUST be so! What do you know anyways? Of course they know your body better than you do!! ??”

There’s obviously lots of sarcasm here, but the headline—and some of the Twitter reactions—also raises a good point about tabloids and their continued scrutiny of female celebrities’ bodies. As Jennifer Aniston’s publicist told the New York Times in January, “Every week I get these emails, ‘We’re working on a story that Jennifer is pregnant. I will say, ‘This is a complete fabrication. There’s no truth to this or this is all ridiculous and completely false.’ And they still go with the story.”

We’re guessing that if tabloids decided to finally switch off the pregnancy rumor story cycle, it wouldn’t exactly be met with disappointment in Hollywood.

Reese Witherspoon Iconically Gave Ariana Grande's 'Thank U, Next' Her Seal of Approval


Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” music video dropped Friday on YouTube, with almost a million viewers tuning in for its live premiere—and it promptly broke the YouTube record for most views in 24 hours overnight. Safe to say it’s been a hit, thanks not just to the catchy tune—or, well, the absolutely human and respectful way she addresses her exes—but for its clever throwbacks to some of the planet’s favorite rom-coms. Throughout the five-and-a-half minute video, Grande and her friends perfectly reference the lead characters in Mean Girls, Bring It On, Legally Blonde, and 13 Going On 30. And it hasn’t escaped the notice of the actresses in those hit movies either: Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Garner both tweeted about Grande’s music video—and let’s just say they love it.

As it turns out, Grande’s reenactment of Legally Blonde’s famous “Bend and Snap” maneuver—complete with a cameo from Paulette (Jennifer Coolidge) from the film—around the four-minute mark is what naturally made its way to none other than the OG Elle Woods: Reese Witherspoon.

“Can we please talk about @ArianaGrande‘s Bend and Snap?! 10/10 nailed it! #thankunext,” Witherspoon tweeted about the viral video.

Grande was properly (understandably) starstruck: “Omg we tried to put our own twist on it so legal wouldn’t come for us but THANK U. this is the biggest honor. love u more than words,” Grande wrote back.

Actress Jennifer Garner, who originally played lead character Jenna Rink in 13 Going On 30, is also more or less obsessed.

“Every now and then something comes along and just brightens your day,” Garner wrote on her Instagram. “@arianagrande you’re adorable. Thank you, pretty girl. #thankunext.”

Grande was absolutely thrilled by Garner’s reaction, too. She commented on the ‘gram: “nooooooooOoOOoOo I’m crying. I watched this movie every night before bed growing up (and I still do sometimes, especially when I’m sad).i adore you! Thank you for all the inspiration and joy you’ve brought to my life i’m screaming bye.”

She then replied to her own comment, “and by sometimes i mean literally everynight but still.”

Grande then understandably fangirled on Twitter.

Mark Ruffalo, who played love interest Matt Flamhaff alongside Garner in the 2004 rom-com, also gave the video his thumbs-up. He tweeted, “Having some Razzles (it’s a candy AND a gum) in your honor, @ArianaGrande! #thankunext”

Grande responded in the only appropriate way: “one more time. i’ll log out now. i can’t handle this shit.”

Bring It On actress Gabrielle Union also tweeted at Grande on Twitter. “Why yes, I am an East Compton Clover! Are we meeting today @ArianaGrande I’ll bring the punch”

Mean Girls’ Lindsay Lohan also commented on Grande’s reprisal on November 28, two days before it was released. Lohan, in true fashion, wrote, “Behind the scenes ? ain’t nobody Lindsay Lohan like the real Lindsay Lohan. But so flattered by @arianagrande loving #MeanGirls so much!”

Safe to say it’s a hit—and we’re loving all these good vibes heading Grande’s way.

Reese Witherspoon Responded to Ariana Grande's 'Legally Blonde' Post in the Most Elle Woods Way


Ariana Grande has always been a massive Legally Blonde fan, so it makes sense that her “Thank U, Next” music video will draw from the iconic rom-com (among others). After the singer posted a bunch of Legally Blonde–inspired teasers on social media, Reese Witherspoon—yes, Elle Woods herself—swooped in to give Grande her (probably well-perfumed) stamp of approval.

Grande had posted a photo of herself standing with a familiar orange iBook—identical to the one Elle Woods uses in a Harvard Law lecture—and captioned it, “Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed.” Witherspoon retweeted the photo on Wednesday and added her own epic Elle Woods one-liner: “Also… 2 weeks ago I saw Cameron Diaz at Fred Segal and I talked her out of buying a truly heinous angora sweater!”

See for yourself:

This all comes just after Grande had shared an image of Elle Woods’ adorable pet sidekick Bruiser Woods hanging out on a bright pink pool float and uploaded another photo that suggests Jennifer Coolidge might make a cameo in the video. Now she’s got Witherspoon in her corner too. Allow us to bend and snap with delight!

Grande has been giving fans clues about what the “Thank U, Next” video will entail, and detective work lead most people to conclude that the visuals for the break-up anthem will involve Mean Girls and 13 Going on 30 in addition to Legally Blonde. Grande had been captioning her photos with Mean Girls quotes all week, and her followers caught on quickly when she posted an image of herself with short, Jenna Rink–esque hair.

Grande confirmed the guesses in a recent Instagram story, writing, “Ok, you guessed the third! but there’s still one more so no tea. Tomorrow.” We’ll have to wait and see what the final movie is.

Meanwhile, it’s hardly a surprise that Witherspoon is embracing Grande’s ode to Legally Blonde. She’s always treated stans with love: Earlier this year, she excitedly accepted a woman’s 15,000-word dissertation based on the movie. We’re pretty sure she’s going to be just as supportive when Grande takes on the challenge of giving us her own version of Elle Woods. What, like it’s hard?

Reese Witherspoon Is Going On a Cross-Country Road Trip and You're Invited


If we were calling the shots, all of Reese Witherspoon’s spare time would be spent making Legally Blond 3 happen. But Reese is taking a break from being an actress, producer, entrepreneur, and Kate Middleton fangirl this fall to give women across the country a much-needed morale boost.

Reese (a 2015 Glamour Women of the Year) and her multimedia company, Hello Sunshine, have partnered with Together Live to bring a cross-country all-female storytelling tour to 10 cities across North America this November. At each stop, Reese will be part of the two-hour storytelling conversation meant to forge connections between women from Boston to Austin and in smaller-market cities in between. And she’ll be joined on stage by a different group of celebrity friends at each stop along the way.

The current roster of talent includes Abby Wambach—part of the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team named 2015 Glamour Women of the Year—Yara Shahidi, Brené Brown, Cheryl Strayed, Cleo Wade, model Jillian Mercado, comedian Cameron Esposito, author/activist Glennon Doyle, comedian Maysoon Zayid, Saturday Night Live actress Melissa Villasenor, comedian Nicole Byer, singer-songwriter MILCK (Connie Lim), and Olympic athlete (and Barbie muse) Ibtihaj Muhammad.

Also along for the ride: Glamour. We have exclusive editorial access to all 10 events, and will be there live for four stops on the tour. Follow along in our Insta Stories and on glamour.com. Or, join us in person! I’ll be snacking at the craft services table at select stops. Here’s where and when to find everyone else: Boston (November 3); Philadelphia (November 4); D.C. (November 5); Toronto (November 6); Cincinnati (November 9); Ann Arbor, Michigan (November 11); Chicago (November 12), Minneapolis (November 13); Fayetteville, Arkansas (November 16); and Austin (November 19).

Ahead of the party that starts November 3, Abby, Connie, Maysoon, and model/trans activist Geena Rocero —who’ll all take the stage at Hello Sunshine x Together Live —joined entertainment and media exec Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, who’ll emcee the events, for a conversation about women’s struggle to find their voices. Connie, the songwriter behind the Women’s March anthem “Quiet,” spoke about not feeling heard both as a minority, and as an artist in a family of doctors who questioned her career path. “We were all supposed to be doctors or lawyers,” said Jennifer. “Instead, we’re warriors.” (TRUTH.)
