You Just Can't Stop Reese Right Now

And you know Vergara is a fun friend to have. The pair bonded last year while shooting an action comedy about a police officer and the glam wife of a drug dealer (can you guess who played who?) and they soon took their relationship to the next level: that next level being social media (see: here and here).

Presenting the award for Best Kiss at the 2015 MTV Movie Awards with her Hot Pursuit co-star (and budding BFF) Vergara, Witherspoon bantered with her costar about all the times they practiced kissing – and we won't even try to pretend we're not jealous.

This is not your light-and-frothy rom-com Reese. The actress's performance in Wild was rightfully recognized by the Academy with an Oscar nomination. The film is an adaptation of Cheryl Strayed's bestselling book about a woman hiking the Pacific Crest Trail as she reflects on the death of her mom and her failed marriage. "It's a new Reese," director Jean-Marc Vallée told Entertainment Weekly.

Although Julianne Moore ultimately took home the best actress Golden Globe Award, Witherspoon could still add to her collection of accolades later this month at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show, she and Jimmy sang Silent Night, replacing words with random phrases. Her singing skills should come as no surprise – she did win an Oscar for playing famous crooner June Carter.

In her interview, Witherspoon talks about trying to recalibrate her image as someone who can be more than just a bubblegum Elle Woods type, someone who's complex. A slew of stunning photos (not to mention quotes like this: "Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors, but I think there's a general sense now that I've lived a pretty textured life.") should convince any of the doubters.

Clearly, this star moves issues. In addition to Vogue, Glamour, Harpers Bazaar U.K. and The Hollywood Reporter have featured Witherspoon.

If you saw and loved Gone Girl, you have Witherspoon in part to thank for that. She was the driving force in turning the novel into a movie (she was also a co-producer). And while we would have been impressed if the film she helped create was a quiet little indie darling, the result was a blockbuster (it's grossed more than $126 million domestically) starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, seen here posing with Witherspoon.

Promoting two movies means spending a lot of time on red carpets. The star has always had on-point fashion sense, but when she stepped out at the at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 8 in this gorgeous glam Saint Laurent dress with a sequin bodice and cutout at the neckline, finished with black Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, plus a red lip and coordinating mani, we knew she was kicking off a seriously chic season.

This is not your typical "America's Sweetheart" dress. To match her envelope-pushing performance in Wild, the actress gets equally uninhibited in a Stella McCartney gown featuring sexy cutouts, snakeskin-print panels and lace detailing at the movie's London Film Fesival premiere on Oct. 13.

Her style streak continues: A week later at the American Cinematheque Award in L.A. on Oct. 21, Witherspoon selects a floral Prabal Gurung mermaid-silhouette dress, adding retro waves that feel perfectly Veronica Lake.
