Witherspoon jokes about Michelle Obama stealing stylish woman crown
March 11th, 2010 - 5:14 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar 11 (ANI): Reese Witherspoon recently commented on how her “Legally Blonde” character Elle Woods has been ousted as the most stylish woman of the US by First Lady Michelle Obama.
Witherspoon, 33, spoke at the annual International Women of Courage awards ceremony on March 10 where Mrs Obama and Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, were present.
The actress jokingly complained that Woods, the bubbly blonde from Los Angeles who discovers her inner strength at Harvard Law School and then takes on Washington politics, no longer held that title.
“As an actress, I have always sought out roles that portrayed women as strong and powerful, such as Elle Woods, who was in the ‘Legally Blonde’ movies,” the Telegraph quoted her as saying.
“Woods happened to be the biggest fashionista who ever came to Washington until Michelle Obama. Thanks a lot,” she stated.
Mrs Clinton then introduced Mrs. Obama as “stylish”, and the first lady returned the compliment to the entire crowd, saying: “You all look fabulous.” (ANI)
