Just in case you needed another reminder that celebrity fashion is all over the early aughts, Brie Larson gave us a Barbiecore pink look that actually channels a much earlier movie: Legally Blonde . The actress was recently on hand for a SAG-Aftra event in support of Lessons in Chemistry , but it was more like “Lessons in how to dress like Elle Woods. Rocking a pink blouse and a pink tweed skirt with cool ballet flats in a slightly darker shade, Brie Larson looked like she could bend and snap any second.
The look as a whole channeled Elle Woods, though jury's out on whether it's technically closer to the peacock blue legal look she sported or her main suit in Legally Blonde : Red, White and Blonde. It sort of has it's own thing going on, but it's definitely referential too. Larson also took to social media to share a close up of her outfit, confirming she, too recognizes she looks like Reese Witherspoon in what may be her most iconic role.
After she captioned her post, “Just a little Elle Woods cosplay for a sag-aftra q&a,” Reese Witherspoon saw it and actual responded, joking on Instagram : 😁💓I sponsored this post 💓😁 Indeed, the timing of the post is pretty impeccable. Legally Blonde 's been a topic of coversation of late. In fact, Reese Witherspoon had been working to bring back Elle Woods in a third sequel for a while, with MGM announcing the project originally back in 2020.
In the spring, it was announced the studio is switching to a Prime Video TV serie.
