No official release date has been announced for Prime Video's "Legally Blonde" prequel series. As far as fans know, there is not even a script. But that didn't stop Reese Witherspoon from paying homage to Elle Woods in a recent costume.

While out to lunch with Jenny Belushi in New York, Reese Witherspoon updated her little black dress with a hot pink sweater draped over her shoulders. Fashion insiders may see this layer as a summer version of a favorite styling hack. Moviegoers see the hot pink hue as a reference to Elle Woods' magenta wardrobe in the 2001 film and its 2003 sequel. Reese Witherspoon always wore shades of pink when she appeared on screen as the feisty fashion student-turned-Harvard law student.

Witherspoon's homage to Elle Woods was a head-to-toe situation. She paired a bright pink sweater with Chanel slingback heels, and tied the whole look together with a sprinkling of gold jewelry.

Her shoes were also a nod to the heel trend favored by celebrities. Jennifer Lopez, Kendall Jenner, and Taylor Swift are all spending the summer of 2024 in sharp slingback heels.

Reese Witherspoon's "Legally Blonde" retelling arrived a week after she spent time filming her ongoing project "The Morning Show" in New York. Her wardrobe, which features her as anchor Bradley Jackson in the series, is not quite as colorful, at least from what the paparazzi were able to capture between shoots. Instead of bold pinks and girly cap-toe heels, Witherspoon wears a no-frills blazer and wide-leg denim, a trend for fall 2024.

Just as celebrities from Zendaya to Blake Lively jumped on the method dressing train, that is, channeling screen characters with their real-life wardrobes, Reese Witherspoon suddenly sprinkled Elle Woods pink, It's not too much of a stretch to think of it as a wink to her next project: according to Variety, she will produce a series that explores the "origins" of everyone's favorite Delta Nu sorority sisters, years before they graduated from Harvard Law. The following pieces will help you get into the role while you're at it.
