PUBLISHED: | UPDATED:

If Reese Witherspoon’s black and white Oscars dress looked familiar, that’s because she already wore a very similar version in 2011.

At the 2015 Oscars, the Best Actress nominee for “Wild” wore a white Tom Ford column dress with two black strips of fabric at the horizontal off-the-shoulder neckline and waist.

The effect was beautiful, if slightly on the safe side.

And we’re talking really safe.

So safe, that Witherspoon had already worn a near-exact replica of the dress to the Academy Awards four years ago.

Reese Witherspoon attends the 87th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood & Highland Center on February 22, 2015 in Hollywood, California.
Reese Witherspoon attends the 87th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood & Highland Center on February 22, 2015 in Hollywood, California.

Back then, Witherspoon wore a black Armani Prive column dress with a white strip of fabric at the neckline.

Naturally, Witherspoon made all of the Best Dressed lists that year, thanks to the excellent fit and bold black-and-white palette.

Which may be exactly why she went with such a similar gown this time around.

Hey, better safe than sorry!
