Reese Witherspoon looks every bit glamourous supporting Big Little Lies co-star Nicole Kidman as she receives AFI Life Achievement Award

Reese Witherspoon posed stormily in a little black dress as she supported her Big Little Lies co-star Nicole Kidman as she received an AFI Life Achievement Award at the Dolby Theater on Saturday.

The 48-year-old actress – who recently beamed alongside her mini-me daughter Ava Phillippe in Beverly Hills – stunned in an elegant black dress with a plunging neckline, putting on a busty display.

Her signature blonde locks were straightened as they fell over her shoulders as they glistened in the light.

She wore green gemstone earrings and gold chains as she looked runway-ready in sky-high black heels.

Other celebrities attending the event include Keith Urban, Naomi Watts, Joey King and Morgan Freeman.

The Legally Blonde actress opted for a light makeup look that made her blue eyes pop as she showed off her natural beauty.

While at the theater, she posed with Scarface actress Michelle Pfeiffer as they channeled showbiz glamour.

Witherspoon and Kidman worked together on the 2017 drama series Big Little Lies, based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Liane Moriarty.

According to the show’s description, the “story explores society’s myths about perfection and the romanticization of marriage, sex, parenthood and friendship.”

The HBO limited series lasted two seasons before ending in 2019.

Now the Australian actress is being honored for her more than forty-year Hollywood career.

The Aquaman star will be the first Australian to receive the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award.

Nicole told me this week Stellar she is so grateful to be “honored in this way.”

‘Receiving this award fills me with overwhelming gratitude. To be the first Australian to be honored in this way leaves me speechless,” she said.
