Reese Witherspoon celebrated the 25th anniversary of her iconic movie Legally Blonde by reuniting with the original cast, including Jennifer Coolidge and Selma Blair.
The Legally Blonde trio walked the red carpet at Hall Des Lumieres in New York City on Saturday, June 20, as part of the Elle World pop-up event to promote Amazon Prime Video’s prequel series Elle, which features newcomer Lexi Minetree as a younger version of Witherspoon’s character Elle Woods.
Witherspoon, 50, Blair, 53 and Coolidge, 64, were joined by their Legally Blonde castmates Ali Larter, Matthew Davis and Victor Garber, along with new Elle stars Minetree, 25, and Elle Woods’ onscreen parents June Diane Raphael and Tom Everett Scott.
As the red carpet event got underway, Witherspoon shared a special moment via her Instagram Story where she got to pose with Minetree. Witherspoon paired a pink satin midi dress with Miss Z pumps while Minetree went for a glittery pink skirt.

The upcoming Elle series takes place before Woods became a Harvard law student, focusing instead on her high school years in 1990s Seattle. Witherspoon executive produced the prequel comedy series, which will premiere on July 1 on Prime Video.
Witherspoon officially announced the project in May 2024, teasing. “I had this crazy idea that the world might want to know the origin story of Elle Woods. So, here I am to officially tell you the most amazing news ever, which is that we’re going back to high school with Elle.”
“Before she became the most famous Gemini vegetarian to graduate from Harvard Law School, she was just a regular ‘90s high school girl. And thanks to Amazon and Hello Sunshine, all of you are going to get to know her in this new series on Amazon Prime Video,” she added. “I’m so excited.”
Amazon promoted the impending launch of the Legally Blonde prequel with Saturday’s Elle-World, which the company described as “a one-day NYC event bringing the world Elle Woods to life through experiential activations, exclusive merchandise, and can’t-miss surprises.”

Meanwhile, Blair — who played Elle Woods’ romantic rival Vivian Kensington in the 2001 movie — recently opened up exclusively to Us Weekly about some of the memorable red carpet looks she wore to promote the classic comedy.
“I remember styling myself only, like, it never occurred to me to have a stylist,” Blair told Us in April. “I do remember that about that time, I just liked something, and I’d go to the store and I’d buy it, or go to the store and be like, ‘Hi, can you dress me?’ It was just a different time. I thought it was wild when people put makeup on for [a] premiere or style it.”
She went on, “That’s a young girl’s idea, though, because you realize five years later, I need makeup. I did makeup for that premiere and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, such a big deal.’”
