Reese Witherspoon, who starred as the iconic Elle Woods in the 2001 comedy, shared a teaser for the reunion on Monday.
“We laughed, we cried and we may or may not have done the bend and snap for old times’ sake!” she wrote, referring to a famous sequence from the film in which Woods teaches manicurist Paulette Bonafonté (Jennifer Coolidge) a secret move designed to command attention in a room.
Witherspoon can be seen in the teaser getting emotional as her co-stars join her via video call. Coolidge, Selma Blair (who portrayed Woods’s nemesis-turned-BFF Vivian Kensington), Holland Taylor (Professor Elspeth Stromwell), and many more appear on the screen.
Legally Blonde was released in July 2001 and earned $141m at the worldwide box office. The comedy, which has a strong fan following to this day, was nominated for two Golden Globes – one in the Best Picture – Musical or Comedy category, and one in the Best Actress – Musical or Comedy category for Witherspoon.
The film tells the story of Elle Woods, a fashion merchandising student whose boyfriend breaks up with her before enrolling into Harvard Law School. After taking the LSAT, Woods also lands a spot at the coveted institution, with the initial goal of convincing her boyfriend to get back with her – only to end up realising her true potential as a lawyer.
The Legally Blonde cast reunion will air on Tuesday 20 October on YouTube.
