Reese Witherspoon Shows No Holiday Cheer for Four Christmases
December 1, 2008
Bah Humbug: Oscar-Winner Can Fake A Country Tune, But Enthusiasm for New Movie . . . Not So Much
Reese Witherspoon has it all. While Julie Roberts took time off from being America’s Golden Girl for double-duty mommy detail, the pixie actress stepped in to fill the $20 million a flick void. And the Legally Blonde star majorly upgraded her love life post-Phillippe, trading the double-dipping C-lister for Brokeback Mountain squeeze Jake Gyllenhaal.
So what’s with the Debbie Downer duds lately, Reese? The couture cutie hasn’t exactly been sporting ho-ho-ho Santa sweaters on the promotional trail for her heapin’-helping-o-holiday-humor movie Four Christmases. Noticeably absent, co-star Vince Vaughn, lending credence to those naggingly persistent rumors that the only chemistry generated between them was intense dislike.
The actress, who won an Oscar for channeling June Cash in Walk the Line returned to her countrified roots at the Country Music Awards, and used the opportunity to walk on the dark side of fashion. Reese cut a dramatic path through the sea of cowboy hats and big-as-Texas belt buckles in a black, one-shoulder Marchesa gown with peekaboo lace bodice. On someone like, say Kim Kardashian, this saucy number would look like a “Dancing with the Stars” costume but this being Reese; she shows just enough skin to be classy instead of trashy.
She even ditched her usual sunny Southern belle style for the movie’s premiere, sporting an emo Nina Ricca dress, complete with heavy eye-liner that Pete Wentz would envy, gold dagger necklace and black open-toe booties. Is the threat of violence the new black?
Maybe the moody getups are PR payback for the “Type A” star having to pretend that Vince “Type Balding Slob” Vaughn is still a swinging heart throb and not a pudgy, played-out player. What on *earth* did Jennifer Aniston ever see in him?!
Unlike that indigestible holiday fruit cake or that horrible hand-knit sweater from Grandma, you won’t want to re-gift these gorgeous Sergio Rossi booties.
