Almost a decade ago, Reese Witherspoon celebrated 15 years of Legally Blonde by trying on some of Elle Woods's most iconic outfits. Pulling the Playboy bunny costume out of her archives confirmed she held on to a lot of the costumes. Turns out, Witherspoon saved her red carpet premiere dresses, too. And now, she's ready to pass them down to the next Elle: Lexi Minetree.
At her first Legally Blonde premiere in June 2001, Witherspoon's spaghetti-strap Marc Jacobs dress could've been cut from the same Barbie pink cloth as the Elle-approved carpet. It also looked like something her character would wear on a date with Warner or a Delta-Nu sorority dinner. Clearly, she was a method dressing professional before it became Hollywood's leading red carpet trend.
