We Would Totally Wear This Elle Woods Outfit From 2001 Right Now

Just this week, news broke that there's a third installment of Legally Blonde in the works. So, as we brace ourselves for all the amazing, flamingo-pink outfits in store, it's perfect timing to dig into all Elle Woods' best outfits in Legally Blonde (the original, of course). Generally, whenever Miss Woods' iconic style is called into question, it's common for the same few pieces to come to mind — her Tiffany heart-toggle necklace and all-pink lawyerly ensembles, for instance. Past her more celebrated styles, however, each look is actually full of underrated hero-pieces that you may not have picked up on before.

With woven, Bottega Veneta-worthy bags and Jabot blouses in tow, Woods' style taps many of the hottest trends of the aughts that are seeing a second life in 2020. You''ll find that the secret hero pieces are slightly more demure, featuring muted tones that cleanly offset the hot-pink pieces they're styled with. And, luckily, several of the "like" styles on offer today are seeing markdowns, including the Mary Jane pumps from Chanel that are just $112.

For all the capsule pieces that round out Woods' wardrobe, continue ahead:
