Sure, Reese Witherspoon is best known for her roles in films and shows including Big Little Lies, Gone Girl, and Legally Blonde. But here at Allure, where we're all beauty nerds, we also associate the actress with beautiful blonde hair — I personally blame Elle Woods for that.
For pretty much ever, I've been convinced that the 43-year-old actress's natural color was blonde, but apparently, I'm sorely mistaken. Witherspoon took to Instagram recently to share with her fans a childhood photo, revealing that her natural hair color is actually brown. Shocking, I know.
The photo was posted with the caption "Mom tip: Send your kid to school with a candy necklace so she can share it with all her new friends," she wrote. In the throwback pic, Witherspoon's hair is a light brown with just a kiss, a hint of a natural blonde highlight.
While the hair is a surprise for us, we also can't help but notice that this photo of Witherspoon looks just like her 19-year-old daughter Ava. And the comment section agrees. "Is this Ava or Reece???" says one fan while another says "I don’t know if this is you or your daughter 😂." Genetics are amazing, aren't they?
