Who: Reese Witherspoon
What: Water for Elephants premiere in New York City
Wear: Jason Wu Fall 2011 dress

Reese Witherspoon looked every inch an American beauty in an elegant Jason Wu confection at the Water for Elephants premiere in New York City last night. Witherspoon is no stranger to Wu’s designs but this look might take the cake. The classic silhouette, on-trend cream color, and bubble hem add just the right amount of drama to her look. The shorter hem length shows of Witherspoon’s killer legs and her simple drop earrings let the dress really shine.
