Legally Blonde: Perfect in purple Reese Witherspoon can't stop smiling as she makes chic exit from courthouse in California

Reese Witherspoon looked perfect in purple as she left a courthouse in Santa Monica with a huge grin on her face on Friday.

The 39-year-old actress and model couldn't help but beam as she walked out of the court alongside her lawyers, clutching a Starbucks coffee cup with the initials 'RW'.

Wearing a vibrant yet smart top, the blonde bombshell is thought to have been at an eight-hour hearing in relation to her lawsuit against a jewellery company.

Reese opted for pointed black heels to match her black trousers and jacket, which she slung over her arm as she left the California courthouse.

She finished off her ensemble with a delicate necklace and a simple pair of black shades.

The Legally Blonde star is understood to have been at the court as part of her lawsuit against Marketing Advantages International, owners of website Emitations.com.

Reese claimed the company used her name and face to sell jewellery, including an imitation of her engagement ring, without her permission. 

Her stroll out of court came a day after Reese was seen showing off her slender hourglass figure in a tight pink number at an event in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles.

Have a Legally Blonde moment in a pink pencil dress by Roland Mouret

Since the launch of Reese Witherspoon's clothing line, Draper James, the actress has barely been seen wearing anything else.

But last night she took a break from her pretty designs to knock it out of the park in a hot pink dress by Roland Mouret. The creator of the now iconic 'Galaxy' dress is one of Reese's favourite designers and she chooses his dresses for red carpets and events on a regular basis.

And who can blame her? Mouret's clever use of folds and cuts is legendary and his ability to sculpt an hourglass silhouette means stars like Cameron Diaz, Victoria Beckham and Miranda Kerr are all fans to name a few.

So why not see what all the fuss is about and click (right) to buy a very similar dress to Reese's at Net-a-Porter? Style with high heels and a chic clutch to complete this sophisticated look.

Or get it for less with our pick of the virtual high street below.

Her stroll out of court came a day after Reese was seen showing off her slender hourglass figure in a tight pink number at an event in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles.

Reese's sandy blonde locks tumbled down in a chic and straight hairdo, and her youthful face beamed with a hearty application of rose pink blush. 

Reese has recently began a fresh start outside of her acting career.

The Oscar-winner debuted her clothing line Draper James just last month, and she will also open her first brick and mortar store in her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, this fall.

The range, which she said is inspired by the American South, sells clothes, jewellery and purses as well as home decor and linens.

The company name is a combination of Reese's grandparents - Dorothea Draper and William James Witherspoon - and the products are inspired by the star's southern upbringing.

'I created Draper James to honor my past and allow others to embrace the beauty, style and excitement that embodies what is happening in the South today,' she previously said.
