Reese Witherspoon is reportedly fuming after finding out that the dress she wore to the Golden Globes had been worn before.

The Walk the Line star was apparently wrongly told that the Chanel silver and white dress that she wore while accepting her Golden Globe award on Monday was vintage. It finally emerged that it had been worn only a few years previously by fellow actress Kirsten Dunst.

Reese's publicist, Nancy Ryder, is reportedly now threatening to stop any of her high-profile actresses, including J-Lo and Renée Zellweger, wearing anything from Chanel again.

Nancy said: "Reese was told the dress was vintage. It was not.

"I'm not angry - just a little disappointed, but the big deal is Reese won the Golden Globe."
