Reese Witherspoon is an Avon Woman

Reese Witherspoon has been named the first-ever Avon Global Ambassador at a press conference held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Wednesday.

In this newly-established role, Reese, 31, will serve as the Honorary Chairman of the Avon Foundation, focusing on breast cancer, domestic violence and emergency relief initiatives, and she will be the spokeswoman for Avon’s beauty brands.

Reese, who was dressed in a cream Nina Ricci cotton pencil skirt and snakeskin Manolo Blahniks, will serve in this capacity per her multi-year multi-million-dollar agreement.

The Legally Blonde actress said, “Avon is more than an iconic world class beauty leader. It is a company that is known the world over as a crusader for women’s causes. [I'm] proud to be joining the great philanthropic work [that Avon has established]. I feel a great responsibility in my own life to give back to society. [Avon] has been able to effect real change in the communities in which it does business, and by how committed the company is to providing economic and personal fulfillment to women all over the world.”

Reese was seen driving around scruffy boy toy Jake Gyllenhaal just yesterday.

A very well paid job. In the penultimate photo if you block off the top of her face she looks scarey from the nose down to the odd chin.

Avon raises millions and millions of dollars for breast cancer and other causes. It has also been a way for stay at home mothers to make a living while raising children, or working women to have a 2nd job to pay for their kids college.

Not every company can do everything right, but there are millions of women who will tell you selling avon changed their life on some level.
A highschool drop out with little kids can get a job selling avon and it has changed their lives.

just saying…
I have been to many many wall street events with my job and I can tell you first hand avon is really supportive of women and their causes.

Run, Jake, run. You can do so much better than fugly Reese.

Grow up, Jared. Jake is not Reese’s “boy toy”. He is a very talented actor and damn sexy.

I agree 17, so many people calling her sell-out. Someone like Kate Winslet, who is doing L’Oreal…the brand has been branded as racists and she still will not bail out because Winslet is a sell-out!

That outfit looks expensive…but matronly. It’s not compatible with Reese’s newer, hotter image. And you can look glammed up and hot and still look business like. I’d call it her Good Housekeeping Magazine luncheon Outfit. LMAO!!!!! Bet she doesn’t dress like that when Jakey’s around…Of course, when Jakey’s around, what to wear shouldn’t even be an issue.

Avon? Seriously. She is not the spokesperson for their products is she? No one in their right mind would believe she would put that cheap ass **** on her face.

Thumb up Thumb down 0

Seriously, these anti-female slurs are ridiculous! Bigoted *****.

Anyway, I am glad that Reese is joining with Avon to help women. I believe Salma Hayek also worked with either Avon or some other organization to help women fleeing batterers.

‘will serve in this capacity per her multi-year multi-million-dollar agreement.’
Avon may support causes but the hard work of millions of ordinary folk will be going into Ms Witherspoons pocket while they get paid buttons. I’d be impressed if she donated it to charity instead of lining her own coffers.

Good point if she really cared about those causes she would put her salary toward them.

Urght… she’s SO UGLY
