If you remember that blonde lawyer that shook the supreme court in pink, then you remember Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde." It was fifteen years ago when the movie hit theaters and featured Reese Witherspoon. Her character was the stereotypical blonde in pink.
Elle Woods was a Gemini vegetarian, mom to Bruiser, (the lovable dog) president of her sorority Delta Nu, and an ace law student-turned lawyer that learned to prosecute in Prada. But before law, she was a fashion merchandising major student at CULA.
But what makes Woods and "Legally Blonde" such an impact in the world of professionals today? According to In Style, she has changed the way people dress to impress as well as the confidence level of all working women everywhere. From monochromatic jackets to stiletto shoes, Elle Woods displayed some style truths.
Elle Woods recommends to find your signature color. If you find something that works, you can stick with it. Pink worked for Woods and she flaunted it always. The color was part of her identity. But she did stray from time to time, dabbing on a little monochromatic here and there.
In the movie, she insists that taking care of yourself is important. Like getting a regular manicure. Most of the scenes in the movie take place at a nail salon.
When targeting that job you really want, you always need to dress up for the job. Elle knew that she had to dress appropriately for a law firm but she made sure her personality still showed with her red lips and chic accessories, to complement her conservative look. But she never fails to remind everyone to dress from the shoes up. Heels are important to her and has gotten her ahead of her career. No doubt heels give confidence to women. Which is why Elle Woods' footwear in "Legally Blonde" is always on point.
