Reese Witherspoon Compliments Michelle Obama as ‘Washington Fashionista’

At one stage in time, actress Reese Witherspoon would have described her character Elle Woods – from the “Legally Blonde” movie – as the most stylish woman to ever come to Washington D.C. But according to current-movie-reviews.com, that doesn’t seem to be the case now.

Making a speech at the International Women of Courage Awards last week, Witherspoon complained quite humorously, that her character Elle Woods no longer held the title as the most stylish woman to have come to Washington, and said that it was the First Lady Michelle Obama instead.

“Elle Woods happened to be the biggest fashionista who ever came to Washington until Michelle Obama. Thanks a lot,” Witherspoon – who is the global ambassador for the Avon Foundation – jokingly said in her speech. Obama then returned the favour, by saying everyone looked fabulous.
