Welcome to The Blueprint, where we take apart the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and recreate them, piece by piece.
New Year’s Eve has come and gone, but Reese Witherspoon’s festive holiday look still lives on in my mind rent-free.
January 1 The Morning show the actress shared three photos on Instagram detailing her sparkly outfit for the evening, which consisted of black sequined pants, a matching black cardigan and matching pointy heels. While there’s no doubt that Witherspoon’s outfit was perfect for celebrating the holidays in style, it also inspired my personal favorite New Year’s resolution: Start treating sequins like something neutral.
Are you ready to join me in making the whole place sparkle in 2025? Keep scrolling to shop sequin pants and cozy cardigans at Amazon, J.Crew, Gap and more – starting at $43.

These sequined pants look almost identical to the pair Witherspoon wore to ring in the New Year, and are available for just $54 on Amazon. One customer said they were “stylish, classy and a bit flowy” without being overly slouchy, and another user noted that the fabric “flows nicely as you walk.” While their flashy design is great for formal occasions, their neutral color makes them suitable for everyday wear too – simply wear them with a T-shirt or T-shirt.
