Reese Witherspoon at the launch of Tusk Trust’s U.S. Patron’s Circle
Even if you don’t have any interest in celebrity fashion, it’s no secret that coral is the color to wear this season. It’s absolutely everywhere – from adorable summer espadrilles to shimmery nail lacquer to changeable laptop covers, and the happy hue doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, anytime soon. In fact, we predict that coral will continue to be hot, even through the fall months, thanks to its uncanny ability to look amazing against fall favorites like chocolate, gold and purple. Not surprisingly, one of our favorite style stars, Reese Witherspoon, arrived at the reception to mark the launch of Tusk Trust’s U.S. Patron’s Circle in Beverly Hills, California on Saturday’s July 9th wearing one of the hottest coral frocks we’ve seen this summer.
The petite beauty opted for a ruffled minidress by Hanii Y, and accessorized to perfection with Christian Louboutin’s drool-worthy Almeria wedges, simple and pretty pearl earrings, an event-appropriate yellow gold cuff – and of course, her stunning four-carat engagement rock. Unfortunately, we can’t help you hook a wealthy Hollywood agent like Reese, but we can help you achieve a similarly summery look. Keep reading for our best tips on how to wear coral, no matter what your skin tone.
Reese is fair with neutral undertones, so just about any shade of coral looks great on her. At the reception, she chose a shade heavily laced with orange, which was a great choice for the steamy July afternoon. If your skin is warmer, look for colors like Reese’s that lean more orange. For cooler gals, pink-based corals will work best. And don’t worry about the color looking too bight – coral is so mainstream these days, you’ll look like a savvy fashionista!
Once you find your perfect hue, make sure you keep your hair, makeup and accessories on the neutral side. Reese’s amazing designer shoes are stylish without being too flashy, and the nude hue allowed her gorgeous coral ruffles to shine. Complete your look with a simple pink cheek color and a swipe of lip gloss, and enjoy star style well into fall!
