Reese Witherspoon Shared a Pic from Her First-Ever Photoshoot and It Screams ’90s Nostalgia

We've always got our eyes locked on Reese Witherspoon's Instagram, because when she's not sharing her stylish looks or her quality book recommendations, the 46-year-old actress is posting major throwbacks that we can't get enough of.

In her latest post, the Morning Show star dug up a photo from her first-ever magazine spread, which was published in 1991, around the time of her feature film debut in The Man in the Moon.

“Throwback to my very first photo shoot ever for Seventeen magazine,” Witherspoon wrote in the caption, along with a starry-eyed emoji and heart hands emoji.

In the throwback photo, the Big Little Lies actress sits on the sand, posed next to her Man in the Moon co-star, Emily Warfield.

“I can’t believe I found this photo,” Witherspoon continued in her caption. “I remember thinking I was going to pass out from excitement, because all I ever wanted was to be in Seventeen magazine.”

When Witherspoon starred as Danielle "Dani" Trant in The Man in the Moon, she was only 15 years old at the time, and this debut was only the first in a number of star-making parts.

Witherspoon has been reflecting a lot on her past roles. Just a couple weeks back, the Little Fires Everywhere star celebrated the anniversary of Sweet Home Alabama, with a post that said, “20 years ago Sweet Home Alabama came out and completely changed my life.”

But while she may be looking back, Witherspoon is keeping busy with a bunch of current projects as well, including the filming of season 3 of The Morning Show.

She gave an update to fans on Instagram earlier this year, when she said, “We are backkkkkkkk! @TheMorningShow Season 3!”

Keep these throwbacks coming, Reese.
