Reese Witherspoon looks scholastic in nerd glasses and beige coat as she exits a NYC building while continuing to chat up her children’s book

Reese Witherspoon looked great as she stepped out in New York City on Thursday.

The 48-year-old Legally Blonde sensation — who watched the solar eclipse this week — wore a large pair of square, black-rimmed eyeglasses.

She was clad in a tan coat worn over a light-colored button-up dress and rounded out the look with brown, pointy-toe, slingback heels.

Her bright blonde locks bounced around her face, styled in an off-center part and soft curls.

The mother-of-two wore gold hoop earrings and her face glowed in a palette of pink-toned makeup.

The longtime actress tucked a black leather purse under arm while out and about in the Big Apple.

It comes after one week ago she took to social media to promote her latest children’s book, starring literary character Busy Betty.

Engaging her 30.2 million followers, she shared a video clip in which she held the latest Christmas-themed story.

In the caption, she wrote: ‘Busy Betty is BACK…. for Christmas! (Is it too early? NEVER!).’

She added, ‘I’m so excited to share my third children’s book, Busy Betty & The Perfect Christmas Present. 

‘Pre-order at the link in bio and get excited about Busy Betty’s next holiday-themed adventure, out on bookshelves everywhere November 12th!’

Witherspoon looked youthful in a blue button-up shirt she tucked into a pair of light blue jeans.

The post has so far collected over 17,000 likes from the multihyphenate’s loyal fanbase.
