Reese Witherspoon chose the pinkest night possible to debut her German billionaire boyfriend, Oliver Haarmann, at the premiere for Elle.
The Oscar-winning actress put her usually strict love life on display at the New York City premiere. During the couple's red carpet debut, they held hands and lovingly gazed at each other.
Reese Witherspoon looked stunning in a pink lace dress.
Witherspoon adorned a pink ensemble by Monse, channeling her beloved character, Elle Woods, from Legally Blonde. The dress featured intricate pink lace and semi-sheer fabric that elegantly hugged the actress's figure. She completed the look with dramatic off-the-shoulder sleeves and a cinched waist.
Haarmann complemented her outfit by adding a pink tie to his navy suit, coordinating with the evening's signature color palette.

Reese Witherspoon Got Emotional Talking About Elle Woods
Reese Witherspoon got emotional at the 'Elle' premiere.
The Legally Blonde actress got visibly emotional during the premiere. "When I walked in, and I saw this moment, it just felt like it was galvanizing how I felt about playing this character — I’m gonna cry. Playing this character for 25 years has been the privilege of my life," she said.
"People come up to me, and they tell me stories about how they go to law school because of her, or they named their daughter Elle, or they overcame some incredible challenge in their life because she did that," she continued.
Reese is producing the highly anticipated Prime Video prequel series Elle, which explores the iconic character's formative years before she became the Elle Woods audiences know.
