She also posted additional memes and links to posts that reference the film.
Debuting on July 13, 2001, Legally Blonde told the story of sorority girl Elle Woods, who decides to follow her ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law School.
While failing to be taken seriously by many of her peers, Elle buckles up, gains the respect of her classmates, wins a murder trial, and moves on from her ex.
Legally Blonde spawned several sequels and even a Tony-nominated Broadway musical.
Back in 2021 the actress opened up on social media about how the role has impacted her life.
Reese revealed she still has fans approaching her on a regular basis with stories of how her character Elle inspired them to pursue their dreams.
‘It also completely opened me up to so many people in the world who come up to me, every week or every month, literally, and say, “Elle Woods inspired me to go to law school.” “Elle Woods made me believe in myself.”
‘And, “I played Elle Woods in the school play!” So I really feel like I share Elle Woods with every single person that made this film, who I love so dearly, but also with all of you.’
