Legally Blonde

Series: Fashion in Film

Pre-show recorded interview with Sophie De Rakoff, the costume designer for Legally Blonde, hosted by Eden Dawn.

21 years ago the film LEGALLY BLONDE debuted, gifting the world with the power of pink, a perfect Jennifer Coolidge, and the lesson you can be smart and wear what you want. It follows fashion merchandising major/sorority girl Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon in a career-making role) who desperately wants to marry her hottie, but snobby, boyfriend. Instead, he dumps her and goes off to Harvard to become a lawyer, prompting Elle to do the same ("What, like it's hard?").

But Harvard is a far cry from California and Elle will need to figure out how to make it in law school as she encounters new friends and foes along the way - Selma Blair, Luke Wilson, and Holland Taylor to name a few. The iconic fashion film culminates with the greatest trial scene of our generation centered around hair care practices.
