Overview
- Witherspoon promoted the Prime Video prequel Elle during Monday press stops, appearing on Good Morning America in a vintage Chanel skirt suit and on The Tonight Show in a sleeveless hot-pink midi dress with feathered heels.
- The Tonight Show outfit featured a crepe-style V-neck dress, white feather strappy sandals and credited creative staff including stylist Petra Flannery, makeup artist Tracey Levy and hair stylist Lona Maria Vigi.
- The publicity drive has used archival garments and Elle-coded pink looks to link the July 1 series to the 2001 Legally Blonde film and to publicly endorse newcomer Lexi Minetree as a teenage Elle Woods.
- Witherspoon, who is an executive producer on the series, described Elle Woods as a feminist character and said concerns about social-media pressures on young girls motivated her to revive the role.
- The series is set to premiere on July 1 on Prime Video, and some outlets have reported an early season-two renewal and a new Legally Blonde feature, but those reports are less fully corroborated in the coverage.
