Reese Witherspoon Channels Elle Woods In A Tweed Skirt Suit While Announcing ‘Legally Blonde’ Prequel Series

Reese Witherspoon just channeled one of cinema’s most beloved characters and left everyone buzzing with excitement at the Amazon Upfronts event. The Legally Blonde star, in true Elle Woods fashion, donned a tweed pink skirt suit and even had a cute puppy in tow to announce the upcoming prequel series titled Elle. This reveal has us all eagerly awaiting what’s next!

For the announcement, the Big Little Lies actress rocked a textured two-piece set adorned with chunky buttons and frayed edges. She slid into Christian Louboutin slingback heels, while her hair was styled in loose curls.

The cutest part of her look? Bruiser, Witherspoon’s real-life chihuahua, who stole the show!

The mother of two posted an Instagram reel of herself getting ready to take the stage for the announcement and captioned her post: “Before she became the most famous Gemini vegetarian to graduate from Harvard Law, she was just a regular ‘90s high school girl. And all of you are going to get to know her, next year on @primevideo I’M SO EXCITED!”

The post, which currently has 2.4M likes, was flooded with fans who couldn’t contain their excitement over the news.

“I went into legal because of this character. I love that this is coming back,” said one fan. Another user wrote, “Elle got me through an odd depression. That resilience and optimism and standing up for yourself and your friends! Resonated. I totally found my inner Elle – she really means the world to me. Thank you, Reese x.”

The prequel will delve into the Elle Woods‘ origin story, following her journey through high school before she becomes a Harvard Law student. After the announcement, fans immediately started speculating about who should play the iconic role.

Users shared their opinions in the comments section, with many suggesting that it only makes sense for Reese’s look-alike daughter, Ava Phillippe, 24, to take on the role.

“Please tell us that your daughter is taking over the role,” said one person. “Pleaaaase tell me young Elle is your daughter,” commented someone else.

“Ok so who’s playing Elle in high school? Ava?? Feels like the only acceptable answer,” wrote another user. We’ll have to wait patiently to get all of our questions answered!
