Legally Blonde

Everything in the Legally Blonde movie screams femininity: Elle Woods confidently walks into Harvard Law school with a small Chihuahua dog in her handbag, donning fluffy gowns with the saturation of bright pink, and talking with her friends over makeup and manicure. And even better, in the center of all these feminine traits, she is also the blonde sorority member with a ditzy demeanor. (blonde girls were often called "dumb" by most people back then).

Despite the objection from many people (even her father), Elle Woods still decided to become a law student. And in the face of her ex-boyfriend's condescending attitude to her "brainless" personality, she was determined to prove herself capable of anything if she put her efforts into it.

Fans adored Legally Blonde not just for its humorous plots, but also for its message that it is possible to be both stereotypically feminine and intelligent. Actress Reese Witherspoon's legendary performance inspired a 2003 sequel and a 2007 Broadway musical. Even better, Legally Blonde is inspired by the real-life events of Amanda Brown, a girl that entered the Law School in Stanford and published a book based on her experiences in 2001!
