“Legally Blonde”, one of the most iconic movies of the 2000s, which wholeheartedly defined the early era, is celebrating its 20th anniversary today.
The iconic movie, which skyrocketed the careers of some of our favourites actors, has not only left us with unforgettable fashion moments but has taught us a thing or two about finding justice in the world, being true to ourselves and learning how to secure our man with the good old ‘bend and snap’.
Reese Witherspoon, who played Elle Woods, took to her Instagram story to share a sentimental post as an ode to her character Elle Woods, stateting, “The character literally changed my life, it changed my whole career, but it also completely opened me up to so many people in the world who come up to me every week or every month literally and say Elle Woods inspired me to go to law school, Elle Woods made me believe in myself, I played Elle Woods in my school play, so I really feel like I share Elle Woods with every single person that made this film who I love so dearly, also with all of you who played the character.”
Following her stories, Reese shared an Instagram post, captured “Omigod you guys ….#LegallyBlonde premiered 20 years ago TODAY! Time flies when you’re busy using legal jargon in your everyday life. 😆 But truly… playing Elle Woods was the role of a lifetime and I’m so honored to have been a part of sharing her story with you all. Every meme, graduation cap, musical number, Halloween costume and bend & snap has brought me so much JOY over these past two decades! 💕 I wonder… what will Elle do next?”
After filming “Legally Blonde 2”, a third movie was in the works with a potential release date in June 2018. Fast forward to May 2020; an official released came out stating that “Legally Blonde 3” will officially be rebooted. According to a tweet by MGM Studios, the movie will be released in May 2022, and sources say Witherspoon will be reprising her role as Elle Woods and Jennifer Coolidge as Paulette Bonafonté.
