Legally Blonde
“Legally Blonde (2001) gave us the iconic Elle Woods, a character who redefined the ‘dumb blonde’ trope for a new millennium. Reese Witherspoon shines as the fashion-obsessed sorority queen who follows her ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law School to win him back, only to discover she’s actually a brilliant legal mind. The film is a masterclass in bubbly, optimistic comedy, featuring the ‘bend and snap,’ the sparkly pink resume, and the courtroom triumph involving perm maintenance. Beyond the fashion and the laughs, it’s a genuine story of female empowerment and breaking through stereotypes. Elle Woods became a hero for anyone who felt underestimated because of their appearance. With a great supporting cast including Jennifer Coolidge and Luke Wilson, the film balances its lighthearted tone with a sharp wit that makes it infinitely rewatchable. It proved that you can be yourself and still succeed in the most ‘serious’ environments—as long as you have the right accessories.”
Legally Blonde taught us to always have faith in ourselves (and our hair care)… but next, we head to a school where a fake teacher is about to turn a bunch of prep school kids into rock stars.
