In her starring role playing a news anchor in Apple TV’s hit show The Morning Show, Reese Witherspoon knows a thing or two about sharp tailoring. From the best women’s pantsuits to smart skirt looks, the actress has been serving some seriously stylish fall outfit ideas recently, and this navy ensemble really caught our attention.
In a chic skirt suit from Bottega Veneta featuring a cropped jacket and matching mini skirt, Reese looks to be channelling a grown-up version of her iconic Elle Woods character from cult Nineties favorite, Legally Blonde. While her character was known for her extensively pink and pastel wardrobe, Witherspoon was presenting an altogether more put-together vibe in one of the biggest fall/winter color trends 2025, navy blue, when she was spotted exiting a car in New York.
If you're currently putting together your fall capsule wardrobe, an elegant skirt suit is a great addition, and a look that is very much on trend right now. However, one thing to consider is the length of your skirt. It's important to find the perfect hemline for you - Reese's above-the-knee skirt flatters her petite stature, creating the illusion of longer legs and proves that shorter can be better. But if you prefer a midi-length hem, there are plenty of trending skirts to be snapped up this season.
ADD SHARP TAILORING TO YOUR FALL WARDROBE
By teaming her skirt suit with a classic striped shirt and timeless black pumps, Reese Witherspoon kept her shorter hemline looking elegant and business-like as she hit the promotional circuit for The Morning Show's latest season debut.
