Reese Witherspoon has had fashion makeover following her split from Ryan Phillippe.

The Oscar-winning mother-of-two, who filed for divorce in October, has followed the advice of Nina Ricci designer Olivier Theyskens and cleaned out her closet.

Reese told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I've used a stylist before, but these days I'm kind of just going with Olivier's taste. At the Golden Globes this year I felt like I looked different than I've ever looked."

The actress has also purged her wardrobe of unwanted fashion items - admitting she often gets too immersed in her film characters, and that is reflected in her style.

The 30-year-old 'Walk the Line' star confessed: "I recently put a big pile of clothes on the floor of my closet, and I looked at a lot of the stuff and thought, 'That's not me at all. What was I thinking?'

"For 'Legally Blonde' I went through a pink phase like you wouldn't believe. Then there was a Marni phase when I was doing 'Sweet Home Alabama' that was out of control."

It's a good idea to have a makeover when you've gone through a major life change. I think Reese is a good-looking woman, but I don't like the new Bazaar cover. I don't think the picture does her any justice. But she looked good at the Oscars.

She does look great, I love her hair long and straight, she is gorgeous.

I actually believe that it is hard to maintain a stable identity when it is your profession to get as deeply into a role as you can.

ITA, who hasn't thrown a load of stuff out after a break up?

(I have to with-hold my comment re Harpers... it takes me a little longer to get it.... )
