"When the time comes to get dressed for high-profile events, Reese Witherspoon seeks the advice of her most-trusted critic: Ava Phillippe! During a red carpet interview with ABC&amp;apos;s Lara Spencer on Sunday, Feb. 24, the Mud actress credited her firstborn with selecting her cobalt blue Louis Vuitton gown for the Oscars.\r\n&amp;quot;I was so excited. I saw this dress and loved the color, so here it is!&amp;quot; Witherspoon said. &amp;quot;I love to play dress-up and look at all the gowns.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWitherspoon got the thumbs-up from Ava before hitting the show with husband Jim Toth. &amp;quot;She tells me what&amp;apos;s cool, what doesn&amp;apos;t look good, so it&amp;apos;s fun,&amp;quot; said the actress, also mom to Deacon Phillippe, 9, and Tennessee Toth, 5 months. &amp;quot;We get to do it together.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn an interview with E! News&amp;apos; Giuliana Rancic, Witherspoon added, &amp;quot;My daughter and I picked it out. She said, &amp;apos;This is a winner.&amp;apos; She&amp;apos;s 13, so she definitely weighs in. She helps me pick the jewelry, makeup and everything.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWitherspoon -- who won her first Oscar for Walk the Line in 2005 -- added that she was rooting for Naomi Watts, who was vying for the Best Actress in a Leading Role title against Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty), Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook), Emmanuelle Riva (Amour) and Quvenzhane Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild). Lawrence, 22, nabbed the honor.\r\n&amp;quot;I wrote her a letter about her performance in The Impossible,&amp;quot; Witherspoon said of Watts, 44. &amp;quot;I just think it was extraordinary. Not since Meryl Streep in Sophie&amp;apos;s Choice have I seen a performance like that.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
