“To the woman in the parking lot who just asked me if I was Carrie Underwood: You officially made my day!” Reese shared on Twitter with a heart faced emoji.

Pretending to be equally excited, Carrie quickly responded to Reese’s tweet. “YOUR day?!?!?!?! That lady just made my whole life!” the American Idol alum wrote with three hearts behind it.

“If I died tomorrow and they wanted to do a movie about me, I’ve always loved Reese Witherspoon and I feel like we have the same stature,” Underwood said in an interview with KO Video in 2012. “We’re about the same height and she can sing.”

In November 2015, Reese Witherspoon looked dainty and feminine at the 2015 Glamour Women of the Year Awards at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

Reese looked modest and polished as she picked up her trophy in a blue, white, and black Erdem Resort 2016 dress.

The long-sleeved frock featured floral embroidery, a lacy Victorian yoke, and a peplum-style hem that fell just above her knees.

Some might think that this was too twee for Reese, but we think she made this look work.

She added a hint of edge to her feminine frock with few rings, a pair of Solange Azagury-Partridge “Celeste” earrings, and a pair of black heels.

The Morning Show actress rounded out her look with sleek straight side-parted tresses and soft feminine makeup.
