Reese Witherspoon was reportedly left fuming after discovering her Golden Globes dress was worn by actress Kirsten Dunst three years ago.

The screen beauty thought the glittery Chanel dress hadn't had a public outing - but later discovered Kirsten had worn it to an after-party at the 2003 awards.

Blonde Reese - who won the Best Actress award for her performance in 'Walk The Line' at the star-studded bash on Monday (16.01.06) - was also told the champagne-coloured gown was vintage despite the fact it was just a few years old.

The star's publicist, Nanci Ryder, told America's New York Post newspaper: "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."

Chanel has apologised for "the oversight", adding: "We are honoured that Reese chose to wear Chanel and thought she looked beautiful."

Chanel publicist Gretchen Fenton said they were unaware Dunst had worn the dress.
