Reese Witherspoon’s big Southern hair and green dress: cute or tragic?

RWSW060511WATER_

Here are some new photos of Sparkles & Reese Witherspoon doing the Water for Elephants promo stuff in Sydney, Australia today… or yesterday? Or tomorrow. I can’t tell, honestly. Who knows. As for the photos from the premiere – how much do you love Reese’s HUGE Southern hair? The bigger the hair, the closer to God. The dress looks super-Southern to me too, what with the exaggerated sweetheart neckline – allegedly, the dress is Zac Posen…? Maybe, maybe not.

As for Sparkles, he looked tired but nice. For the photo call, he and Reese actually had to interact with an elephant, and I think the ellie took a whiz on Sparkles, so… yeah. He has a reason to look slightly unkempt. But still… he’s kind of prettier than Reese, right?

    I guess even big movie stars have to look unfortunate at one time or another. Bless her heart.

    (that chin needs to be chiseled down- it’s getting more pointy as she ages)

  2. brin says:

    Love her and her big Southern hair…she and Carrie Underwood could be sisters.

  3. Catherine says:

    Not liking the hair.

  4. TQB says:

    Whoa, she looks like Carrie Underwood!

  5. mia girl says:

    @kaiser – thanks for all the Sparkles love over this press tour. I think this is the last of the premieres… I will be sad to not see Sparkles in a suit for a while.

    How about Pattinson for HGF? It’s been a while. 🙂

  6. RHONYC says:

    all she needs are some bunny ears & a fluff ball tail in that get up.

    😉

  7. Kaye says:

    Hair’s a nice changeup. The dress is GORGEOUS. I love the color and the fit.

  8. Mary K says:

    I use to love her.. But lately her movies are terrible. The ones w/ the makeup she looks more like Jenny McCarthy’s little sister..but Jen looks better…

  9. Obvious says:

    hate her shoes, but i think she looks adorable. sparkles just looks like sparkles….

  10. Rhiley says:

    They look like Robert E. Lee High’s 2011 Prom King and Queen.

  11. Diane says:

    Love the dress. That guy just doesn’t take a decent picture.

  12. OXA says:

    She is pregnant so the top half concentrates attention off the belly, it is all distraction.

  13. bored says:

    Pattinson is so not cute

  14. Jo says:

    I think she looks rather lovely. The green of the dress is so pretty! But that hair is (cute!) but by no means big. I love it.

  15. bluhare says:

    TRAGIC

  16. your mama says:

    She does look like a misfit Playboy bunny. hahaha @ RHONYC

    Not sure if I like the roots so dark & noticeable. Having the same dilemma with my highlights right now. They are starting to look bad (mine).

  17. Blah says:

    Vodka for nobodies.

  18. Jb says:

    She’s always cute

  19. Dani says:

    He looks high and drunk.

  20. KateNonymous says:

    She looks great. Has the recent domination of flat-ironed hair made people forget what “big hair” looks like? As someone who went to high school in Texas in the 1980s, this ain’t it.

  21. spinner says:

    Reese looks much better with straight, sleek hair.
    …and I’m a BIG hair fan.

  22. TurquoiseBlue says:

    That dress makes her look heavier than she is and the hair is awful. She looks like Jessica Simpson, and that is not meant as a compliment. What colour is her natural hair? Her roots look really dark in these photos.

  23. Nanea says:

    If a dress is making someone look heavier, and if the same someone looks like she hasn’t done her roots in some time, that means that someone could well be pregnant, as others have pointed out.

  24. Slim Charles says:

    This is not big hair. At least not in Dallas.

  25. Esmom says:

    Yes Sparkles is definitely the prettier of the two. And a big yes to him for HGF! Just not those shirtless early modeling shots with the tie and short shorts…I’m as embarrassed for him as he is for those.

  26. heb says:

    She looks like Jessica Simpson

  27. Kim says:

    Ok dress, bad hair – so bad.

  28. Maritza says:

    I think she looks cute although she should retouch her roots.

  29. ladybert62 says:

    Like the dress – hate the hair.

  30. kira says:

    That dress makes her look like she has green eyes. Very pretty.

  31. janna says:

    gak!!!!!

  32. bagladey says:

    The only attractive thing about RPat, to me, is his height, and Reese’s hair just looks nice and loose; how is that big hair? Is anything that’s not flat-ironed considered “big hair” now?

  33. Jilliterate says:

    Ugh. I like the colour of this dress, but hate the cut. The exaggerated chestline is dwarfing her little frame, and making her look shorter and stockier than she is.

  34. Annie says:

    The dress makes her look wide

  35. dr.bombay says:

    @katenonymous: i’m with you!! this is a far cry from “big hair” no matter what year it is. i actually like the hair…it’s feminine and not too perfect. just don’t like the super-dark roots; they’re so dark to a point that they are distracting.

  36. Pixie Stix says:

    Aw, usually love Reese’s outfits, but this is a NO — her hair on the sides looks like a completely different color than above — should have taken care of those roots. Make-up & dress are not working for her.

  37. Becky says:

    Not a fan of the hair or the dress. If the dress were longer, she’d look like a 1980’s beauty pageant contestant.

  38. jemshoes says:

    “The bigger the hair, the closer to God.” LOL!!! 😀

    Reese looks lovely, and Rob Sparkles looks tired! Hope they had fun in Sydney. Close (but not really) to where I live!

  39. Newbie says:

    I’m going to have to go with fug on this one. But again, loving Pattinson’s suit.

  40. sandy says:

    i like Reese dress and color, and R.P. is so cute in that first pic.

  41. Hakura says:

    Wow… Look at this picture I found of Carrie Underwood, then look at Reese again. http://yourfriendstoo.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/carries-hair1.jpg

    They look SO much alike… It’s creepy.

    I’m exhausted just seeing all these pictures of them attending premieres all over the world, days apart… I’m sure they’ll be thrilled for it to be over with.

  42. Andie B says:

    Hair OK, dress OK..BUT..I just can’t get past that chin. Has it got bigger?

  43. Lindy says:

    Love the hair, hate the dress. It’s the wrong cut, color and style for her.

    Also, when I read interviews with Sparkles, I think he’s awesome. And then I see a photo of him and think he’s skeevy and greasy. Can we magically transfer his wit and charm into some other attractive guy’s head? Like photoshop, really, when you think about it, right?

  44. Mimi says:

    Hahahahahahahahahahaha! What a kodak moment for Sparkles lol. Seriously don’t get his appeal. I love Reese’s dress. It looks great on her. The hair looks a little messy but she is adorable.

  45. Crash2GO2 says:

    She needs to “chisel down her chin”??? Why, so you can snark at her for having plastic surgery? Honestly.

    I love the color and cut of the dress, except for the flutey stuff under her armpits, and there is too much going on in the front of it. Perhaps all of those diagonals are supposed to be slimming, as she does look as if she could be pregnant. I’m also a fan of women wearing their hair natural, as I feel it suits them best and I think Reese has naturally straight hair, and I DO prefer that look on her.

  46. Judy says:

    Tragic…looks like something outta the 80’s. And is she pregnant?

  47. Lady Jane says:

    Am I the only one calling ‘pregnant’ here? She looks dead rough and that just aint Reece.

  48. kira says:

    She’s definitely gained weight–you can see it in her arms. So that leaves two options: she actually ate ONE piece of her wedding cake, or she’s having a baby. Take your pick. 🙂

  49. chris says:

    I’m not a fan of big hair so I don’t like it. I love her dress though. It makes her look sexy instead of just cute. Rob was fabulous as always although these pictures here aren’t his best. He’s been really great on this promo tour and he and Reese work really well together.

  50. LuckyLilGem says:

    She’s putting on weight. I spy a double chin and she is tilting her head back to laugh! no bueno

  51. Magsy says:

    So un-Hollywood. Bad roots, clump of her sitting on her head, yucky dress and shoes. I’ve seen prettier dresses and makeup at high school proms. He looks more like her hairdresser than a co-star.
