Did Reese Witherspoon reveal her mysterious third leg on the Vanity Fair cover?
January 26, 2018
We’re still talking about Vanity Fair’s cover for their annual Hollywood Issue. I did not mind the cover, and I liked the vibe of “Oprah’s royal court.” Some of you took issue with the fact that Nicole Kidman seems to be morphing into Naomi Watts on the cover, which is definitely weird. Some people took issue with the idea that Reese Witherspoon appears to be sitting on Oprah’s lap, but if you look closely, you can see that Oprah’s royal throne is just a velvet armchair and Reese is precariously perched on the arm of the chair. She’s probably only upright because Oprah is propping her up.
Of course, there’s always the possibility that Reese is able to half-stand, half-sit in that weird way because she’s secretly had three legs this entire time. Look at the cover again! Do you see it? It’s a weird optical illusion, and it’s not the result of bad Photoshop. It’s the lining of her dress that you’re seeing, which took me a solid five minutes to really figure out. It took other people a lot longer:
