Reese Witherspoon’s Oscars Gown: Love It or Hate It?

Gary Hershorn /Landov

Reese Witherspoon has thrilled us with her award show looks over the years, from her vintage Christian Dior to collect her Best Actress Oscar to her sexy yellow Nina Ricci at the Golden Globes the following year. And when the surprise presenter took to the stage at tonight’s Academy Awards, it was no exception. The star chose a daringly fashion-forward Rodarte gown with a billowing ombre skirt and an asymmetrical beaded bodice. We love that Reese is supporting a young American label — Rodarte is designed by two twentysomething sisters in California. Reese is one of our Best Dressed picks, but it is more avant-garde than most. So we want to know: What do you think of Reese’s edgy look? Vote in our poll below!

am i the only person who thought this gown was awful? those ’straps’ or ‘bands’ are too close together and do not flatter her decolletage at all. and then, i need to see more pics, but wasn’t the back strange? it kind of looks a bit like a mess to me…

Reese is trully that 1 girl who could make a paper bag look GREAT!!!! Not only is she beautiful on the outside she’s beautiful on the inside and that’s why she can pull off anything, still this dress is beautiful too.

Reese Witherspoon’s dress was the ugliest dress of the ceremony.

Bad makeup too.

Reese has no taste!

Everything about her last night overwhelmed her. Her makeup around her eyes was too dark and heavy, it almost looked like it might have looked good the night before, but she slept in it and didnt remove it.

Reese is so small and angular herself that this dress having sharp angles also is just too much for her. Maybe if it was a different color against her creamy skin.

Awful dress, what was she thinking?

Reese Witherspoon is a redneck woman.

SUPPORTING SISTERS, SUPPORTING AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS, RIGHT ON AND ON THE RIGHT TRACK TO HELP OUR OWN COUNTRY,,,,LOVE YOU REESE

That dress is AWFUL. For starters, it looks like she’s wearing a backpack with those black straps. The back section and around the shoulders was a pink/skin color mesh – if you want backless, wear backless, don’t try to cover it up with something that’s supposed to look like your skin. The zipper was also lumpy and visible. There were also little plastic bra straps she was wearing, what’s that about? And then to add to the mess, her hair was stringy and she wore heavy makeup and cobalt blue eyeshadow. Ugh.

Reese Witherspoon has bad figure and fugly face, she should take care to look presentable.
