The blonde mother-of-three stopped by Right Start baby store, no doubt picking up some items for her and husband Jim Toth’s 13-month-old son Tennessee.

Reese, who wore minimal make-up, left her blonde hair loose and donned a pair of large sunglasses.

Witherspoon’s stylish outfit left her looking completely different from the fairytale princess she is set to portray on the big screen. 

She will also produce the Disney movie which will put new twist on the genre.

The film catches up with a prince and princess about 10 years after they have ridden off into the sunset for their happily ever after.

However, the couple soon discover that even in fairytale land, like in real life, you have to work to keep your relationship and your life together.

The film's script was written by Nahnatchka Khan, who previously created TV sitcom Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 and was a writer on animated comedy American Dad!

Other producers will include Reese’s Pacific Standard partner Bruna Papandrea, as well as John Jacobs of Smart Entertainment.

Happily Ever After: Reese got her own happily ever after in 2011 when she married Hollywood agent Jim Toth

Of course Reese got her own happily ever after in 2011 when she married Hollywood agent Jim Toth.
The star split from Ryan Philippe, the father of her children Ava, 14, nine-year-old Deacon, in 2007 after eight years of marriage. 

After a romance with Jake Gyllenhaal, she started dating Toth in 2010 and married him the following year. 

They welcomed son Tennessee in September 2012. 

Meanwhile, the busy actress is also set to star in drama Wild, which is based on Cheryl Strayed's best-selling novel about a woman who finds herself at a crossroads following the death of her mother and the end of her marriage.

She has additionally signed on to star alongside Sofia Vergara in female road trip comedy, Don't Mess with Texas.
