Our favourite and most stylish lawyer flick turns 20

Legally Blonde hit cinemas 20 years ago and has gone down in history as one of the most-watched and reputed “chick flicks” of all time. 

Although the reason for her intelligent makeover might have been a little questionable (it was the 90’s so we’ll let it slide) Elle Woods single-handedly broke the curve, smooshing educational gender ideals with one single pink kitten heel. 

Elle Woods was a detrimental part in many people's lives growing up, teaching life lessons to those who didn’t know they needed it. From the bend and snap (remember it’s all in the snap) to getting into an Ivy League college, what? Like it’s hard? The blonde bombshell made her way into the lives of those most judgemental and the hearts of those most unlikely. 

Not only did she slay Harvard law and defend beloved fitness instructor Brooke Windham in a murder trial, she did it all in pink power suits, feathered collars and sequined bikinis. 

In honour of the 20 year anniversary, Remix looks at Elle Woods’ (and bruisers) most iconic fits:

An iconic pink leather power suit. 

She made off the shoulder tops and cheese grater hats chic?? 

Ralph Lauren preppy chic could never compete with this combo

Crotchet beanies purple fur. Brusiers autumnal sweater needs mentioning too.

This sequin mini is going straight to the top of the inspo page.

A deep v sundress and that classic Tiffany and Co necklace.... iconic.

And last, but by no means least, the sunbathing outfit of the century. Fur, sequins, wedges and rose tinted glasses *chefs kiss
