Reese Witherspoon reunited with her Legally Blonde co-stars over the weekend as the cast came together to celebrate the beloved film's 25th anniversary and the upcoming Prime Video prequel, Elle.
Star-Studded Reunion at Elle World Event
The Oscar-winning actress was joined by familiar faces including Jennifer Coolidge, Selma Blair, and Ali Larter at Hall des Lumières in New York for the streaming giant's Elle World event, marking a quarter of a century since the hit comedy first introduced audiences to Elle Woods.
Reese, 50, looked every inch the Harvard-bound lawyer as she embraced the film's signature pink in a satin Prada dress, teamed with Christian Louboutin heels. Selma Blair, who starred as Elle's rival-turned-friend Vivian Kensington, opted for a pink-and-black Tom Ford dress, while Jennifer Coolidge, who played fan-favourite beautician Paulette Bonafonté, arrived in an on-brand flowing leopard-print gown.
Also in attendance was Ali Larter, who portrayed fitness instructor Brooke Taylor-Windham, wearing a black Carolina Herrera dress with floral detailing. Singer Hoku, whose hit Perfect Day famously featured in the 2001 film, completed the reunion in a colourful mini dress and bright pink platform heels.
Celebrating a Cult Classic and a New Prequel
The one-day event celebrated the enduring success of Legally Blonde, which became a cult classic after its release in 2001 and turned Elle Woods into one of cinema's most iconic female characters. The reunion also comes ahead of the launch of Prime Video's upcoming prequel series Elle, which follows the future lawyer during her high school years.
Rising actress Lexi Minetree takes on the lead role, while Reese serves as an executive producer on the project. The new series is due to premiere on Prime Video on July 1, introducing a new generation of fans to the world of Elle Woods while celebrating the legacy of the original film.
Reese's Wardrobe Keepsakes
Reese recently revealed on The Graham Norton Show that she had it written into her contract that she would get to keep all of her wardrobe. As a result, she took home around 77 pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes and kept them untouched in storage until the film's 15th anniversary, when she brought them out to try on.
She said: "Some of them fit, some of them didn’t. I showed them all to my daughter - it was really cool." Reese shares daughter Ava and her brother Deacon with her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe. She also has a third child, son Tennessee James, with talent agent Jim Toth, whom she divorced in 2023.
