It’s official — Elle Woods is headed back to the big screen! (What, like it’s hard?)
Earlier this week, reports thatReese Witherspoonwasreprising her iconicLegally Blondecharacter for a third installment of the beloved film franchisehad the internet buzzing.
“It’s true,” she wrote on social media, captioning a video of herself in the two piece as she drifted on a blue pool float.
Getting the costumes was easy for Witherspoon, considering she still has the garb in a storage box — fuzzy heels and all.
She happily showed off each outfit on Snapchat, from the dress Elle wore during her ill-fated date with Warner to the pinkPlayboybunny Halloween costume she was tricked into wearing at Harvard’s Halloween party.
