Lexi Minetree Rewears Reese Witherspoon’s Original Legally Blonde Premiere Dress

Fashion history repeats itself as Lexi Minetree rewears Reese Witherspoon’s iconic pink dress.

Minetree, who will portray a young Elle Woods in the upcoming Legally Blonde television prequel, recently stepped out in a very familiar shade of pink while appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The actress revealed that her dress wasn’t simply inspired by the beloved franchise, but it was the exact Marc Jacobs dress Reese Witherspoon wore to the Legally Blonde premiere back in 2001.

As Fallon held up a photograph of Witherspoon wearing the dress 25 years ago, Minetree posed in the vintage look, creating a picture-perfect full-circle moment. Styled with hot-pink peep-toe Steve Madden heels and an elegant updo, the look was pure early-2000s magic. With delicate spaghetti straps, a fishnet-inspired overlay, and a mermaid silhouette, it’s the kind of unapologetically feminine fashion moment that Elle Woods would undoubtedly approve of.

Of course, fashion loves a good callback almost as much as Hollywood loves a reboot, so we’re considering the style moment an official passing of the torch.
