SheFinds Goes Golden: Mellow Yellow

Category: Best Bounce-Back From a Breakup

Winner: Reese Witherspoon

Why: When Best Week Ever’s Golden Globes liveblogger Michelle Collins called Reese Witherspoon “a walking middle finger to ex-husb Ryan Phillippe,” she couldn’t have been more on the mark. Newly single Reese looked svelte in a look-at-me yellow beaded cocktail dress and the most delish ruby satin shoes. Her radiant red lipstick and edgier, angled tresses completed a look that took the award for better-looking half of a kaput relationship (start taking notes, Cameron!)

Get the Look: Assuming you don’t plan on devastating your ex with your post-breakup hotness on the red carpet, go for J. Crew’s strapless butternut-yellow beach dress. It still has the wow factor of Reese’s yellow, but it’s more appropriate for the places you might actually run into Mr. Wrong. Of course, there’s no law saying a single gal can’t glam it up for a routine trip to the grocery store: push your cart in Hollywould’s Red Ava pumps to tell the grocery-buying world that you’re back on the market and loving it.
