If you’ve been watching Big Little Lies (or catching Legally Blonde — no shame), you’ve been seeing a lot of Reese Witherspoon of late. But do you remember what she looked like back in the day?

So we traced Witherspoon’s most iconic looks, from all the way back in 1991 until the present day, to have a closer look at the star’s transformation over the years that span her career.

She’s always had that trademark blond hair (except for a quick foray into darker territory!) and she seriously hasn’t aged since the ’90s. Ahead, the evolution of Witherspoon from all the way back in the day until now.
