Reese Witherspoon demonstrated the enduring power of the “winter white” aesthetic at the 19th Annual Hollywood Film Awards, held on November 1, 2015, at The Beverly Hilton.

Choosing a sculptural silhouette, the petite American actress wore a crisp white sleeveless mini dress by Haney.
The piece, designed by celebrity stylist Mary Alice Haney, features a signature asymmetrical hemline and delicate lace detailing that balances modern tailoring with feminine texture.

The monochromatic look served as a clean canvas for high-shine accessories. Witherspoon paired the dress with Irene Neuwirth “One-of-a-Kind” earrings and a striking pair of Saint Laurent Jane glittery gold heels.

To keep the look clean, she simply wore her blonde locks sleek and straight and went for soft, feminine makeup with pink lipstick.

Reese’s Saint Laurent Jane sandal isn’t just minimalist—it’s a hall-of-fame heel that defined an era. Introduced during Hedi Slimane’s transformative years at Saint Laurent (2012–2016), the Jane became the brand’s ultimate expression of the “barely-there” aesthetic that dominated the 2010s.
Stripped of excess, the design hinges on a razor-thin toe strap, a delicate adjustable ankle wrap, and a sleek stiletto—typically around 105–110mm (about 4–4.3 inches)—set on a sharp, square-cut sole that feels modern rather than retro.

A red-carpet staple at its peak, the Jane earned cult status for its ability to disappear beneath a look, never competing with the dress.
It was a go-to utility heel for stylists, famously embraced by Jennifer Aniston and worn repeatedly by fashion insiders and celebrities, including Heidi Klum, Keke Palmer, and Nicole Richie.
In an era when heavy platforms once ruled the carpet, the Jane helped pivot fashion back toward sleek, ’90s-inspired minimalism—paving the way for modern icons like the Stuart Weitzman Nudist.

Over the years, Saint Laurent released the Jane in multiple iterations—from classic leather and patent to chain-detail ankle straps and exotic finishes—yet the original sandal remains the definitive version for collectors.
While newer seasons have introduced similarly named styles like the “Jeanne,” the Jane sandal endures as a symbol of Saint Laurent’s sharp, rock-and-roll minimalism and one of the most influential heels of its generation.
