Look of the Day: Reese Witherspoon at the London Premiere of Monsters Vs. Aliens

We’re living in post-modernism so everything is back, even if it only went away five minutes ago. 80s-inspired oversized shoulders, seen not too long ago in Balenciaga’s spring 2008 collection, are back with a vengeance. Reese Witherspoon’s black Prada dress is a prime example of the new statement shoulder - think more inverted pleats creating 3-dimensional space, less puffed sleeves.

The beauty of this look is that it is simple and chic, yet there is a certain daring to it. The bigger shoulders on Reese’s dress make a definite statement, as do the bib necklace and gladiator heels.
