Reese Witherspoon wore her second Versace dress of the day when she attended the Cannes Film Festival premiere for ‘Mud’ yesterday evening.
The blonde actress wore a wore a custom-made navy silk chiffon Atelier Versace gown covered in Swarovski crystals with a cut-out back.
This maternity gown is Versace through-and-through as it also has a central split.
As her body is constantly changing, the gown provides extra support with double straps and empire-waist to elegantly showcase the baby bump.
She completed her look with silver Versace shoes, Chopard jewels and a sweeping updo.
There must be something in the water at Cannes, as actress who are usually blah on the red carpet like Eva Longoria and Reese blossom at the Palais des Festivals.

She looks amazing! Normally I find Reese quite boring on the red carpet but on this occasion she looks great. That dress is the perfect maternity dress! Tres elegant!
I agree with you. Maybe pregnancy is making her stepping out of her comfort zone. She looks great.
Probably because with the bump she can’t wear pencil skirted, strapless cinched in at the waist dresses.
Wow ! She looks stunning. I love the color with her eyes and the brillant detail.
She’s beautiful. She def knows how to work the maternity look. Blue is an excellent color for her.
Wow, simply stunning. She’s glowing
Hot! Love that she is working her mega preggy boobs and not wearing shapeless sacks a la Bryce Dallas Howard!
This must be one of the best maternity dresses i have ever seen on the red carpet, she looks AMAZING, and for me this is one of the best red carpet looks Reese has.
I was amazed by this look earlier watching the pictures in Getty, and i am so happy that you fc loved it too.
It’s the Magic of Cannes.
“It’s the Magic of Cannes.” – So True
WOW. I’m not usually a fan of Reese’s style, but here, she is glowing! Perfect.
+1 The power of Cannes
+2
Gorgeous!
She looks great. The colour is so beautiful and I love the style of the dress! In the second pic at first glance I thought she looked like Princess Di!
She looks fantastic!! and congrats to Donatella for that dress : you can’t do better for a red carpet maternity dress! The dress is elegant and so sexy!
+1, especially the kudos to Donatella. Versace is everywhere on the Cannes red carpet, to incredible effect. Three of my fave looks aside from Nicole Kidman’s gowns are Versace looks — Jane Fonda, Freida Pinto and now Reese.
Indeed. you’re right, this festival was all about Versace, the couture collection was everywhere (premieres,parties…). By the way Freida dress was also one of my fave (it’s stuck in my mind)
She is so radiant, and that is more than ading to the whole look. I remembered her maternity style years back adn so I’m so glad it’s just as good this time around. To me this is the wow dress of Canns this year. I prefer it even to Tilda’s Ackermann, which is rare.
This is gorgeous way to dress a baby bump. She looks beautiful!
Reese looks gorgeous! She is sparkling.
It reminds me of Jolie’s maternity green dress also in Cannes couple years ago.
She looks flawless, and dare i say that this gown is a BDOTY worthy.
She looks stunning! I love this look like I didn’t loved a Reese look for ages.
Wow!!!! That’s how you do pregnancy red carpet – everything works in this look
what? no strapless dress? no knee length dress? no vivien westwood-ish dress? no peep toes? Nothing but a custom Versace dress with silver heels with up do and a gorgeous pair of earrings? Reese is back ! We all knew she had this in her. We knew it ! Motherhood does on well =)
she looks beautiful and i love the divine colour!
Chic
She looks amazing. The color of this dress suits her.
This is the best she’s looked in years, if not ever. I never would have thought that Reese and Versace would be such an amazing fit – but this whole look is stunning! Reese should definitely step out of her Wu/Posen/Valli comfot zone more often.
Maternity dress heaven! She looks radiant.
She looks stunning.
It reminds me of a blue gown Halle Berry wore when she was pregnant. It was also Versace lol.
Clearly, it’s the brand to go to when you’re pregnant and wants to look as fabulous as ever.
Now this is undeniably Versace!(unlike the black one from the photocall). I wish her bust had more support because she looks like she’s gonna burst out, but the colour looks great on her and she is again so radiant.
She looks beautiful! Maybe she should be pregnant all the time, this is the best she has looked in a very long time.
i’m not a fan of hers on the red carpet but she looks radiant in Cannes. on this occasion, its perfect from head to toe! i hope she keep this up!
this is one of my best dressed of Cannes.
Versace just knows how to bring that glow out of pregnant actresses – I remember Halle Berry’s stunning blue dress and Kate Hudson’s yellow gown last year
top 5 of best dressed until now, stunning!
This is really stunning. My only problem is the back. Its not flattering at all with the lower back cut out as it highlights one of the most unflattering effects of pregnancy.
Versace really knows what they are doing when it comes to maternity fashion.
I guess like it’s said: “When in Rome, do as Romans do” Maybe a lots of these actresses really want to impress the fashionable French people- which is good for all of us.
Wow! She looks royal. Please put in BDOD11 poll!
I totally adore this!! She looks radiant.. I can almost compare this to Angelin’s green chiffon Kung Fu Panda look. One of the best pregnant/ non-pregnant looks from Reese!
she looks stunning…she reminds me of Angelina when i saw her picture. I think the dress has the same feeling as the green dress Angelina wore
OMG I LOVVVVEEEEE this look!! The colour is gorgeous, and she is totally working it! Really hope this pattern continues in her non-Cannes days.
She look gorgeous. I love the color on her! My problems are with the strappy, lowcut top (which doesn’t flatter and looks a bit “prommy”) to me and the back cutout, which I think highlights a problem area during pregnancy. However, That flowing skirt, soft sparkle and magnificent color are amazing on her! A HUGE congrats to her!
Wow she’s really glowing!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone carry a maternity gown so elegantly.
She is amazing! THat royal blue suits her so well and she looks to happy and content… hope I look as good as her when I’m pregnant!
resee looks radiant!
this gown is exquisite, the beading, the colour and the shape!
one of my favourite maternity looks ever
I think she is radiant and looks stunning!! I love this colour on Reese, the detail on the dress is beautiful and the styling is perfect! This has to be my favourite maternity dress on the red carpet.
+1! The silver platform sandals bother me a bit, I must confess, but I will give her a pass because she’s pregnant and because she is looking that breathtaking!
