Because of Elle Woods, thousands of students apply to Harvard University each year. But the woman who brought Elle to life, Reese Witherspoon, isn't the most ardent alum. On November 4, Elle's old stomping grounds welcomed the actress for what seemed to be her first official visit—and she wasn't wearing the character's signature head-to-toe pink.
Harvard Business School hosted Witherspoon during a Women's Student Association event, where she chatted all things Hello Sunshine, her media company. The audience was flooded with students wearing pink, but Witherspoon didn't get the Elle-inspired memo. She channeled Harvard's official school colors instead, beginning with a crimson cardigan. The sweater was a perfect shade match to her high-rise take on the wide-leg trouser trend. Even her sleek square-toe boots were burgundy, just like Harvard's emblem.
