Reese Witherspoon’s throwback #PuberMe pic might be the most adorable one yet

Aside from starring in a new movie, Home Again, Reese Witherspoon’s also been Instagramming up a storm lately. Witherspoon just participated in the #PuberMe challenge, and her throwback pic is one of the cutest ones yet.

ICYMI, #PuberMe stands for “puberty and me.” Celebs are posting awkward puberty pics to raise money for Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane María. The hashtag was created a few days ago when Nick Kroll appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

How does it work? All celebs have to do is post their awkward puberty photos on social media with #PuberMe. Colbert’s AmeriCone Dream Fund will donate some money for every awkward picture tweeted and/or Instagrammed by a celebrity with the #PuberMe and #PuertoRicoRelief hashtags. Then, the money will go to One America Appeal, an organization which supports recovery efforts from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. We could not love this idea more.

Witherspoon is the latest celeb to participate, and her pic is SO cute.

Here you go @nickkroll... giant glasses, awkward hands, feeling 14! All for a good cause. God Bless Puerto Rico. #PuberMe #PuertoRicoRelief

Quite the Elle Woods-esque pose, don’t you think?

#PuberMe coincides with the release of Kroll’s new Netflix show, Big Mouth, which is all about the awkwardness of being a teen.

“Puberty is a really scary thing, and I think most people feel like they’re going through it alone. But the truth is, every single one of us goes through puberty and goes through this range of crazy emotions and feelings,” Kroll told Colbert. “That time is so awkward. There’s catharsis in showing who we were and what we became.”

Other celebs are rocking the #PuberMe game too.

Of course, Colbert and Kroll got things rolling.

Steve Martin participated, too…

…as did Yvette Nicole Brown.

Dear @StephenAtHome & @NickKroll may I present #PuberMe. What have we learned? That 80's era mom hair came for us ALL and that #JustSayNo should have extended to plastic fashion "jewelry". #PuertoRicoRelief ❤ HispanicFederation.org/donate

“Dawson,” aka James Van Der Beek, did too.

Puberty must have been exhausting, b/c I seem to have had trouble keeping my eyes open. #puberme for #PuertoRicoRelief (#funfact: one of these three wardrobes I only ever wore on a movie set... any guesses which one? Bonus points if you can name the movie.)

And Mayim Bialik posted…

@NickKroll and @Stephenathome have pledged to donate money to #PuertoRicoRelief for every celebrity that posts a photo of themselves from their most awkward years. Here is me in my first fancy photo shoot at 13 by #HarryLangdon. those boots - oy! #PuberMe

Way. Too. Cute! Aisha Tyler also shared a puberty photo.

Dear @nickkroll and @stephenathome, Here I am in the sixth grade. Feast your eyes: there is so VERY much to take in. As you can see, I am at least 300% larger than all other sixth graders on the planet ever (the humans near me are to scale). After this impromptu juice box-fueled lunchtime dance I went out into the city and crushed puny humans with my thundering hooves of doom. Look upon me and despair. #puberme #puertoricorelief

And we love Kumail Nanjiani’s pic!

Do you recognize Andy Cohen in his?

Hey @nickkroll @stephenathome - wanna fight?? #PuberMe #PuertoRicoRelief #1983

How about Ryan Seacrest?

We love everyone’s #PuberMe pics, but we still think Witherspoon wins for “most adorable!”
