Elle Woods est de retour ! 7 tenues emblématiques de La Revanche d'une blonde qui tiennent toujours après 25 ans.

      Legally Blonde turns 25 this year, yet the outfits featured in the film are ingrained in the memories of those who matured in the early 2000s. With Y2K trends making a comeback, the movie is being rediscovered by a new audience fond of pink, and with the prequel TV series Elle debuting on Prime this month, it’s the ideal time for a rerun of the iconic film. While there are aspects that could be perceived as homophobic and some outdated terminology, Legally Blonde's tale of a (pink) outlier is filled with charm—and an abundance of fashion. Following her ex-boyfriend Warner from L.A. to Harvard, Elle showcases numerous outfits that stand out remarkably—such as her submission video for Harvard in a sequined bikini, followed by an eye-catching pink iridescent skirt suit upon arriving on campus, prompting one studious student to exclaim, "Hey, check out Malibu Barbie!" Meanwhile, Elle is definitely a series worth watching. Set in 1995, the Prime series revolves around Miss Woods in high school, relocating from her beloved L.A. to Seattle. Expect similar culture-shock themes in the fashion, providing a comprehensive dive into '90s trends, from the signature pink prep of Clueless (another classic from 1995, beloved by fashion enthusiasts) to the plaid shirts and band tees synonymous with grunge. Anticipate a mental shopping spree while you watch.

      To commemorate the milestone anniversary of Legally Blonde and the return of Elle on screen, here are seven outfits directly pulled from the Y2K style guide to consider the next time you press play on this beloved girly film. Along with the cherished Bel-Air princess (portrayed by Reece Witherspoon), there are also memorable outfits from Jennifer Coolidge's nail technician Paulette and Selma Blair's uppity Vivian Kensington.

      1. Pink Prints Charming

      Style Notes: Elle’s devotion to her favorite color is remarkable. ("Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed.") This outfit, which she wears when we first meet her in the film and paired with Barbie-style mules adorned with a rhinestone heart, perfectly introduces her character. The cloud print enhances the fuchsia shade and adds personality, while the classic wrap dress silhouette from the early 2000s only makes it more desirable.

      2. "Jeans and a Nice Top"

      Style Notes: The quintessential after-dark dressing formula peaked in the early 2000s (think Paris Hilton and Jennifer Lopez). This boho-inspired version, with a floaty chiffon top, is one to note for your next thrift expedition. We adore this look even more since it features Elle showcasing the memorable "bend and snap" move.

      3. Seeing Spots

      Style Notes: Upon deciding to attend law school, Elle’s guidance counsellor grimaces at her major in Fashion Merchandising, quipping that "Harvard won’t be impressed that you aced History of Polka Dots." Nevertheless, when she gets serious, polka dots come into play. The 2026 trend for this classic print is just the latest iteration—this early 2000s rendition reminds us of its suitability for the office, especially when paired with a skirt suit and voluminous curls. The addition of red lipstick is a brilliant touch.

      4. Double Denim the Dolly Parton Way

      Style Notes: Jennifer Coolidge's character Tanya from White Lotus (also known as Peppa Pig) has recently provided the internet with some delightful fashion moments, but the actress has been slaying in style for decades. Her take on double denim as the unlucky-in-love nail technician Paulette redefines the look. Seen when she first comforts Elle about her love life, the combination of the waistcoat and skirt with her half-up, half-down hairstyle and pastel eye shadow gives off a country-queen vibe reminiscent of '80s Dolly Parton.

      5. Mermaidcore Could Never
