It's been 19 years since Legally Blonde hit theaters, but with a sequel, a musical, and talks of a third movie in the works , the 2001 film still holds up. Elle Woods' unapologetically pink and feminine looks have become a cultural staple, and unsurprisingly, have stayed relevant into 2020. Ahead, we shopped out items inspired by her best outfits.
