Reese Witherspoon's single makeover

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.
