This Self-Portrait dress is very adorable with its lace and organza mixed media offering. It has a crisp white collar and a feminine fit-and-flare silhouette that works on different body shapes.

It’s the kind of dress you would want to wear for a date or a semi-formal event. It’s also a keeper, a dress that will be your first choice when you feel frumpy, and nothing you try on seems to work.

Two celebrities recognized the many perks of owning this dress. Reese Witherspoon first wore it in 2014 for a luncheon event, and Vinette Robinson tried the look recently at an event in London.

A Height and Age Difference of 3 ¾ Inches and 5 Years

Vinette Robinson stands at 5 feet 5 ¼ inches (165.7 cm), while Reese Witherspoon measures 5 feet 1 ½ inches (156.2 cm). The height difference between the two is 3 ¾ inches (9.5 cm), with Vinette being taller.

Reese Witherspoon was born on March 22, 1976, and is approximately five years older than Vinette Vinette Robinson, born in 1981.

The styling is effortless and doesn’t require much effort, but we think this is a smart way to style the dress, given its many loud details.

2. Vinette Robinson: A More Formal Take on the Self-Portrait Dress

The British actress, known for her work in television, film, and theatre, wore a longer version of the dress and teamed it up with matching blue peep toe pumps and a white clutch. The length suited the event and made it look more formal.
