12 Photos of Reese Witherspoon From the ’90s That’ll Bring Back Your Best Style Memories

We’ll admit, we have a thing for nostalgia at Glamour—but when it comes to ’90s fashion nostalgia, we go absolutely wild. So, on the occasion of Reese Witherspoon’s 40th birthday (Happy birthday, Reese!), we took the liberty of going back to her style in the decade we came to know her in. Yes, dear readers, it’s Reese Witherspoon’s journey through our very favorite fashion decade, with cameos from Selma Blair, Ryan Phillippe, and yes, even a bare midriff or two.

Here’s Reese at 15 in 1991. Ever the Southern girl, she’s got her cowboy boots paired with an oh-so-’90s daisy-motif dress. Note the curled tendril (because yes, we all did it too).

Spaghetti-strap top and chinos? You guessed it! It’s 1993, and this is Witherspoon’s airport look of the day.

This was taken in 1994 but could totally be today (especially because this writer is wearing the exact same outfit at this very moment; just saying).

A baby T-shirt, maxiskirt, and scarf belt? Thank you, 1996.

This Prada satin shirtdress is is channeling today’s pajama trend—and props for the Roberta di Camerino self-frame handbag. It’s pretty fabulous for 1996, and yes, 2016.

Was there a day under 60 degrees in 1996 that you *didn’t *wear your chunky knee-high boots? Reese gets us, she really does.

Before Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner wore black ribbons as chokers, there was Reese. Here she is in full ’90s regalia in 1997.

Camisole top and matching knee-length skirt? Oh, we totally wore this look in 1998 (albeit Reese’s might be just a *tad *fancier).

Moving on to 1998 and we have: the tube dress. Mic drop.

This might be a pic of half an outfit, but it’s 100 percent awesome. Note Witherspoon’s picture-perfect cardigan and Blair’s badass slip dress.

And finally, we end on a high in 1999 at the premiere of Cruel Intentions. Reese is doing her best pre-Raphaelite Empire-style situation—and the world is good.
