Starting off her week looking great, Reese Witherspoon had lunch in Beverly Hills on Monday (January 28).

The "Cruel Intentions" star exuded chic in a blue sweater, black tights, and black boots as she chatted on her phone on the way back to her car.

Recently, the busy mother-of-three began talks to star in the upcoming film "The Good Lie," directed by Philippe Falardeau.

Inspired by a true story, the movie follows a young refugee of the Sudanese Civil War who wins a lottery for relocation to the United States with three other lost boys. Encountering the modern world for the first time, they develop an unlikely friendship with a brash American woman assigned to help them, but the young man struggles to adjust to this new life and his feelings of guilt about the brother he left behind.
