Reese Witherspoon, 48, Showcases Toned Abs & 'Great' Legs in Checkered Sports Bra & Skorts – Photos

Reese Witherspoon has once more captivated social media with her age-defying sporty chic ensemble. Netizens couldn't help but weigh in on her latest look.

Reese Witherspoon is proving that age is just a number. The 48-year-old actress recently took Instagram by storm, sharing two photos that showcase her stunning physique and youthful energy.

In the pictures, Reese displayed her toned abs while posing with her niece, Draper Witherspoon, with their hands in a "W" sign. Both wore matching $49 gingham sports bras and $95 ruffle skorts. They completed their sporty look with dark sunglasses and red caps printed with "HAPPY" while standing at a pickleball court.

In the next photo, the "Legally Blonde" star leaned backward, dressed in the gingham ensemble. With a pink cap and a pickleball paddle in hand, she smiled brightly. "In our pickleball era 🏓," Reese captioned her post.

Fans were in absolute awe, overflowing with admiration for Reese's timeless beauty and fit physique. One fan noted, "By the way great legs." Another gushed, "I'm sorry you look like teenagers," highlighting the youthful glow the actress exuded in the photos.

Someone else marveled at Reese's appearance, "You look so young," while a surprised follower remarked and thought her companion was her daughter, Ava Philippe, "Honestly thought this was your daughter."

Another expressed in disbelief, "Reese you LITERALLY don't age at all!!!! Love and blessings from London." This wave of admiration can be linked to Reese's healthy lifestyle, which she has long been open about.

The actress is committed to regular exercise and balanced eating habits. "I exercise every day and eat right every day, no matter what is going on. If I'm working way into the night, I eat with frequency and I take care of my mind and spirit," she explained, in May 2023.

Additionally, Reese credits her inner circle for helping her maintain the mental peace of mind that is essential to her sense of well-being. Her dedication to fitness and overall health is evident, and her recent photos are a testament to her hard work and positive outlook on life.

The stylish pickleball outfit Reese showcased online was not the only look that captured netizens' attention recently. As reported on June 27, Reese stunned fans by donning a daring black swimsuit during a vacation in Italy.

She wore a $112 Malibu One Piece from the size-inclusive brand Andie, featuring a deep V-neck cut. The photos quickly went viral, sparking a storm of mixed reactions from netizens. While some fans praised Reese's confident display, calling it"incredible," others offered more critical opinions.

One curious user questioned the style of Reese's swimsuit, asking, "what kind of BATHING SUIT IS THAT [sic]." One detractor remarked, "'Incredible figure'? She doesn't look terrible for her age, but she looks old and a little flabby. Are standards so low we call this 'incredible' [sic]?"

Some continued to praise Reese, commenting, "She looks great!" Another emphasized that people should wear what they want without judgment, asserting, "the bathing suit of a lady who doesn't want to mix more than she wants, that's all.. Everyone dresses and puts on what they want, that's no one's problem [sic]!"

Reese's bold fashion choice aligns perfectly with her long-standing advocacy for body positivity and self-acceptance. In a 2018 interview, she discussed her collaboration with Eloquii to launch a plus-sized collection for her brand Draper James, which she founded in 2015.

"We don't need to hide and diminish ourselves. Now there's so much messaging in the world saying the opposite: Be proud of who you are. Unsubscribe from the notion that you’re not good enough," she stated.

Reese knows the emotional rollercoaster women go through when trying on clothes. "It's so frustrating. Nobody thinks about the emotional process that women go through when they try on clothes," she pointed out, highlighting her brand's commitment to inclusivity and comfort.

At Draper James, Reese explained, they try their pieces on every woman in the office during fittings. If a piece doesn't make someone feel good, it's considered "part of the problem," not "part of the solution." This careful attention to detail shows her commitment to helping women feel their best.

Reese has encouraged women to feel confident and beautiful. She believes you can be strong, feminist, and hardworking while also enjoying and appreciating looking pretty. This empowering mindset defines her approach to fashion, life, and aging.

In a 2021 interview, Reese, then 45, reflected on her journey of self-acceptance. She shared that aging has given her clarity on who she wants to spend time with, prioritizing more time with loved ones.

"And that is one of the great things about getting older — it just clears out so much space. I want to be with my mom, my kids, and the people who fill my tank. And everybody else, I wish them well," she said.

Reese's fearless swimsuit outing is more than just a fashion statement; it's a testament to her ongoing commitment to authenticity and self-love. Her journey continues to inspire many, proving that confidence and beauty have no age limit. This influence extends to her family as well.

Reese Witherspoon further demonstrated these values when she and her daughter, Ava, stunned the public by twinning in outfits at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California. Their matching looks highlighted their close bond and shared sense of style.

Reese's Instagram photo that month featured her and Ava, dressed in elegant black dresses, with their hair styled in similar sleek middle parts, as they prepared for a mother-daughter date night.

Ava's tattoos were clearly visible, making her stand out next to her mother. The image immediately caught the attention of fans and celebrities alike due to the striking resemblance between the two.

Reese addressed the resemblance, explaining that both she and her daughter don't perceive the resemblance or are mistaken for each other as something they necessarily see or feel. Despite this, Reese finds the situation amusing and sees it as a flattering reminder of her youthful appearance.
