Witherspoon, 48, had a bob at the time and paired a black-and-white striped halter dress with a red lip.

Phillippe, for his part, rocked a similarly striped V-neck — but in blue — and completed his look with Ray-Ban sunglasses and black pants.

The “Big Little Lies” alum and Toth, 53, tied the knot in 2011 in California and called it quits last year.

While the Oscar winner was subsequently linked to newly-single Kevin Costner, her rep clarified exclusively to Page Six that reports of the romance were “false.”

As for Toth, the talent agent appeared to take a romantic Costa Rica vacation with a mystery woman in July 2023.
