Witherspoon Cover-Up After Globe Gown Mishap

[sundog]

Reese Witherspoon's red-faced publicist is trying to cover up the actress' blushes after learning the Walk The Line star wore the same Chanel dress Kirsten Dunst once donned at the Golden Globes. Dunst wore the same designer vintage gown at the Globes in 2003, prompting top stylists to criticize Witherspoon for not doing her homework before stepping out at the awards show..."

13. Reese is a talented actress and very beautiful but

This was such an ugly dress I can't believe Channel tried to recycle it as vintage on her. It's like she has this beautiful silver dress and she put a damn ugly white apron overtop of it!

17. Then there was Luise Rainer...

"Was the first actor/actress to win back-to-back Acadamy Awards for her performances in The Great Ziegfeld (1936) and The Good Earth (1937). She was also the first actor/actress to win two Academy Awards.

A non-conformist to the MGM star-system, she used to parade around Hollywood untidly dressed, usually with no make-up and wearing pants.

She was forced to attend the Oscar ceremony by Louis B. Mayer to receive her Oscar. In the early Academy Awards ceremonies the winners were announced beforehand in the newspapers. A team of MGM staff arrived at her house and made her dress in appropriate evening wear, and rushed her to the show - just in time."

[jobycom]

28. Ah, you're right. nt.

[grace0418]

31. Well, she has two so apparently Ryan likes her just fine! LOL!

Of course, she probably wasn't *wearing* the dress when they made the kids.

[jobycom]

32. He liked her before he saw the dress. Now, who knows? nt.

[azmouse]

30. Surely this is sign of the end of the world... or not

[pitohui]

33. if it's vintage, isn't it supposed to be used?

i know when i buy vintage clothes, i figure they've been worn before?

what's the big deal?

i sure wouldn't do homework on who wore what all the way back in 2003, would you?

christ, you'd never leave the house if you had to research who wore what before you went someplace

[kay1864]

37. ...

christ, you'd never leave the house if you had to research who wore what before you went someplace

I think that's part of a publicist's job, to avoid such a horrendous embarrassment as described in the OP.

For those of us who have publicists, that is...
