Reese Witherspoon paired a beautiful purple satin knee-length dress with leg-lengthening nude heels at the at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in L.A. last night. Reese was presenting during the show, and provided a perfect example of why you shoudn’t always resort to length when going formal. The satin fabrication and saturated, sophisticated color of her gown made it perfectly appropriate for a special evening event, especially with sky-high nude Louboutins. As someone considering purple for holiday this year, I hope to take cues from Reese on how to do it.
