ELLE YES! LEXI MINETREE CHANNELS REESE IN PINK POWER MOVE
The star of Prime Video's new 'Legally Blonde' prequel just gave us a major fashion callback — rocking Reese Witherspoon's iconic 2014 Met Gala gown to the London premiere!
Talk about a love letter to the original! Lexi Minetree, who plays young Elle Woods in the upcoming Prime Video series Elle, showed up to the London premiere in a show-stopping pink gown that was straight out of Reese Witherspoon's fashion archive — specifically, the superstar's legendary 2014 Met Gala look. And honey, this isn't even the first time Minetree has tipped her sparkly hat to Witherspoon's past red-carpet moments during her press run!
The newcomer is clearly having a blast embodying the bubbly brainiac before she became a Harvard Law legend. The eight-episode prequel, which premieres Wednesday on Prime Video, follows teenage Elle Woods as she discovers there's more to life than what meets the eye — though her signature pink aesthetic is definitely still in full effect.
Us Weekly's review confirms what fans are hoping for: this candy-coated spinoff proves the doubters wrong. As the original Legally Blonde taught us back in 2001, you really can't judge a book by its sparkly pink cover — and Minetree's winning performance is proof that Elle Woods' story still has plenty of magic left to tell.
