Reese Witherspoon Is In Skinny Jeans 3 Weeks Postpartum & Apparently You Should Care
The ever woman-respecting Daily Mail reports that Reese appears to have “bounced back into shape” since her son was born in late September. She was seen on a “low-key outing” with her talent agent husband Jim Toth. Her awesomely skinny “I swear I didn’t actually have a baby” ensemble is described as, “a pair of skinny jeans, a black jumper and over-sized handbag.”
Much like Vanessa Lachey, who was also championed for looking surprisingly hot after birthing, Reese just looks like a woman running some errands. Whether a black tee and some jeans is MILF-y territory is debatable, I guess. But all this “CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?” neck-craning stems from the shell-shocking concept that a woman can still be gorgeous –or rather conventionally gorgeous — following the birth of a child. It’s an innately degrading idea from the jump and one that should have self-respecting ladies flipping a very pronounced (and perhaps metaphoric) middle finger on a daily basis.
Therefore, actresses who have made a living off of — usually — being desirable are a perfect target. The fact that anyone still envisions them as bangable after reproducing is so earth-shattering that we’re treated to news across multiple outlets notifying us. And to that, I’m letting my middle finger do the talking. Metaphorically.
