We had a feeling we were going to love Reese Witherspoon as a brunette, but in the one good look we had, her adorable baby distracted us too much to make an informed judgment.

But when her stunning new look at Sunday’s N.Y.C. Mud premiere changed the conversation from her legal troubles to her killer hair, we knew that the hue was something special.

We’ve been wondering how Witherspoon maintains the richer hue so far from her L.A.-based colorist Lorri Goddard, so we checked in to get the full scoop.

Goddard worked with hairstylist Lona Vigi to get Witherspoon’s hair color exactly right for the film The Good Lie, landing on a shade Goddard describes as “a medley of ribbons of different chocolates with a chestnut overlay … It needed to have warmth and richness.”

She was Legally Blonde, but now she’s officially brunette.

Just a few days after her 37th birthday celebration in Cabo San Lucas, Reese Witherspoon arrived in Nashville with much darker strands than she’s worn since filming Walk the Line in 2004.

As it turns out, this hair color change-up is also for a role, The Good Lie, in which she plays a woman who develops a friendship with refugees from the Sudanese civil war.

Witherspoon has some of the best blonde hair in Hollywood, but we must say, we’re loving this new look on her. Baby Tennessee, however, seems to be less impressed. So tell us: What do you think of Witherspoon’s new darker do?

Reese Witherspoon Introduces New Necklace to End Violence Against Women

Reese Witherspoon wants to change the world — one $5 necklace at a time.

Avon’s Global Ambassador introduced the brand’s latest piece in its Empowerment Collection, the Circle of Support necklace, at the 2nd World Conference of Women’s Shelters in Washington, D.C., Tuesday. All the proceeds from the $5 bauble go toward the Avon Foundation’s programs dedicated to ending violence against women.

Witherspoon let the silvertone necklace — and its circle of interlocking infinity symbols — shine by wearing it with a black cocktail dress featuring a deep V.

“People don’t know that [domestic violence] is so prevalent,” Witherspoon told PEOPLE at the conference. “It’s one in three women worldwide, and one in three women in the United States. You hear those statistics, you start to realize that it’s either me, or it’s somebody who is very close to me. It’s a serious issue and one that’s close to my heart.”

Shop the necklace — and support the fight to end violence against women — at Avon.com.

All the Details on Reese Witherspoon’s Sexy ‘This Means War’ Style

We’ll cut to the chase: Reese Witherspoon looks smokin’ hot in her new film, This Means War. Playing a professional caught between two debonair guys, she wears lots of sexy date looks — and at one point, even strips down.

“Getting sexier was a very clear idea that all of us — myself, [director] McG and Reese — had from the beginning,” costume designer Sophie De Rakoff tells PEOPLE. “This was the movie to push it a little further.”

De Rakoff, who’s worked with Witherspoon on six films (including Legally Blonde), says that creating a perfect wardrobe for the star was tough at times. “The thought was, what is the balance between someone who has a high-profile, serious job, and a woman who is out there, single in the dating world,” she muses. “We had to meld those two worlds together without making her look schizophrenic.”

The Real Reason Reese Witherspoon Cut Bangs

Nearly 84 percent of StyleWatch readers said they love Reese Witherspoon‘s new bangs, but there’s a somewhat dark reason behind the star’s new hairstyle. During an interview with Graham Norton, airing Saturday night on BBC America, Witherspoon reveals details about her recent car accident — and the scar it left behind.

“I was jogging and I got hit by a car,” she shares. “They said I am very hard-headed because I landed right on my head and I have a scar, hence my new hairdo. I don’t remember much about it but miraculously and thank God, I am fine.”

Though she didn’t press charges against the driver, an 85-year-old woman, there were legal repercussions. “They took away her license and gave her a bus pass,” the actress explains.

Moving into lighter territory, Witherspoon — who stars in the upcoming romantic action comedy This Means War — reflects on her stellar 2011, which included her wedding to Jim Toth and a meeting with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. “It was really fun,” the actress shares. “[Kate] was lovely and funny and she said some sweet girly things. I think she is handling herself so beautifully.”
