Let me tell you a fucking thing about costume design. That’s some in depth, difficult shit to learn. And the fact that this goddess can ramble this shit off the cuff means she knows her shit. ELLE WOODS IS A GODAMNED GENIUS AND IT’s NOT A STRETCH TO BELIEVE SHE GOT INTO HARVARD LAW MMMK?
FUCK YEAH ELLE WOODS OR DIE
this movie is literally about an attractive woman who loves to party having to prove over and over again that she’s also intelligent and hard-working to those who judge her based on her looks (who also empowers and fights for other women, and fosters unlikely friendships instead of engaging in girl hate) and if you don’t think that’s some great feminist shit then I don’t know what your problem is
Let’s not forget that in the end when the guy wants her again, she turns him down because she knows she deserves better.
AND let’s not forget that at the end she is the class-elected speaker at the graduation ceremony, has graduated with high honors, has been invited into one of Boston’s best law firms, and is best friends with the girl who her boyfriend left her for.
Alright, so, I reblogged this post back in June 2014. I just found this blog again. I hadn’t even finished school yet. I was a huge Legally Blonde fan and wanted to go to law school so bad.
Now it’s January 2023. I finished law school and I work at my first law firm at 26. This movie isn’t just a rom com or a comedy about a blonde bombshell. This movie is huge. It’s been my source of motivation for over a decade.
Elle isn’t just a pretty face with a brain. She puts so much work into succeeding. She doesn’t let people walk all over her. She sticks up for herself but she always stays kind. I’ll never love a movie more.
