Reese Witherspoon Recreates ‘Bend & Snap’ 15 Yrs On In Truly Iconic Moment

There is no use being chill about this at all because WE ARE FUCKING SCREAMING.

To mark the 15th anniversary of iconic film Legally Blonde, Reese Witherspoon has suited up in Elle Woods-approved pink and recreated the goddamned ‘bend and snap’. This is not a drill. This is pop culture heaven.

Then:

Now:

It’s been 15 years since the movie “Legally Blonde” introduced the world to Elle Woods, the pink-clad, Chihuahua-toting sorority student who aced the LSATs, got into Harvard Law School and inspired a generation. “I have had so many women say, ‘I went to law school because of ‘Legally Blonde,’” says star Reese Witherspoon (@reesewitherspoon). “It actually had a meaningful story. And it was about female empowerment. It wasn’t necessarily about the girl getting the guy.” To celebrate the anniversary, make sure to show off your pet Chihuahua, law degree or even your best “bend and snap” — “That is still the most asked request I get from people. I have a feeling I will be doing the bend and snap until I am 95,” says Reese — and tag #LegallyBlonde15 in the caption. Video by @reesewitherspoon

The film – as well as being the quotable forerunner to Mean Girls – is iconic for both subverting the ‘dumb blonde’ stereotype and teaching us how to comfortably use legal jargon in everyday life.


“I have so many women say, ‘I went to law school because of ‘Legally Blonde”
, Reese told Instagram, which posted the video direct to their account. “It actually had a meaningful story. And it was about female empowerment. It wasn’t necessarily about the girl getting the guy.”

AND THEN – just when we thought we’d reached the peak – SHE GOES AND DOES THIS.

Turn the sound up. Just fucking do it, okay?

Seriously. ???? #LegallyBlonde15

If you’re frothing at the absolute bit, Reese is Snapchatting all her costumes (and hopefully iconic lines) all day. Add her: SnapsByReese.
