Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern Spotted Shopping at London Charity Shop

Hollywood stars Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern were recently photographed shopping at an Oxfam charity shop in London's Notting Hill neighborhood. The pair, who have a combined estimated fortune of £350 million, were seen visiting the Westbourne Grove store on a Monday.

Witherspoon, 50, was dressed in a navy cardigan, blue high-waisted jeans, and a brown suede cap. Dern, 59, wore a cream cardigan over a white top, complemented by a black striped leather midi skirt reportedly by Victoria Beckham.

While Witherspoon initially window-shopped, she later entered the store for a browse, reportedly leaving without any purchases. The actresses were later joined by American author Cheryl Strayed, 58, and English writer Nick Hornby, 69, for a stroll through the upscale London area.

Witherspoon and Dern's friendship dates back to 2014 when they met on the set of 'Wild,' an adaptation of Strayed's book. Their professional collaboration also includes the HBO mini-series 'Big Little Lies.' Dern has previously described Witherspoon as a confidante for all aspects of her life.

Witherspoon celebrated her 50th birthday in March. She is mother to Ava Elizabeth Phillippe, 27, and sons Deacon Reese Phillippe, 22, and Tennessee James Toth, 13, from her previous marriage to Ryan Phillippe. Her son Deacon recently announced he has joined the cast of a new film adaptation based on Lynn Painter's novel for Netflix, marking his acting debut after earlier roles in 'Never Have I Ever' and the upcoming Prime Video series 'Motorheads.'
