DIY Outfits Inspired by Legally Blonde

In 2001, sorority girls and modern young women aspiring to better their position in life received a fine role model in the form of Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon). It’s been over a decade since Legally Blonde made its theater debut, and yet, it’s still a highly cherished film. Whether you admire Elle’s outlandish style or not, there’s no denying that it has a certain kind of eccentric appeal.

While her style is primarily whimsical, it can also be practical, as you can see from her Harvard outfit. Now that you’re armed with the knowledge to dress like the blonde bombshell lawyer, all you need is your very own Bruiser!
