Reese Witherspoon Channels Elle Woods in Pink Carolina Herrera Dress at Hello Sunshine’s Shine Away Event in Los Angeles
Reese Witherspoon took a hint from Elle Woods’ wardrobe on Saturday at Hello Sunshine’s Shine Away event in Los Angeles. Witherspoon, who portrayed the bubbly law student in the “Legally Blonde” franchise, selected a Carolina Herrera dress in Woods’ favorite hue: pink.
The actress selected a flared midi silhouette from the label’s resort 2025 collection, which features button embellishments and a thin belt. She added on small gold hoops, completing her look with metallic cap-toe slingbacks.

Witherspoon wore her blond tresses in natural waves, while her makeup consisted of sparkly pewter eyeshadow and a pink lip.
The “Little Fires Everywhere” star currently works with stylist Petra Flannery, who also counts A-listers like Zoe Saldana and Renee Zellweger as clients.
Other guests at Hello Sunshine’s second annual event included actresses Laura Dern and Octavia Spencer, the former of which costarred with Witherspoon in HBO’s “Big Little Lies.”
Witherspoon is currently searching for the next Elle Woods, as a prequel series to “Legally Blonde” is currently in pre-production. An open casting call was announced by the actress on Instagram late last month.
“Before she became the most famous Gemini vegetarian to graduate from Harvard Law, she was just a regular ‘90s high school girl,” she wrote of the show’s premise on Instagram in May. “And all of you are going to get to know her, next year on @primevideo I’M SO EXCITED!”
“Elle” will be produced by Witherspoon’s own production company, Hello Sunshine, which she founded in 2016.
Released in 2001, “Legally Blonde” follows Elle Woods, a college student who enrolls in Harvard Law School in an attempt to win back her ex-boyfriend. The hit romantic comedy, based on Amanda Brown’s novel of the same name, costars Luke Wilson, Jennifer Coolidge and Selma Blair. A sequel, “Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde,” premiered in 2003.
