The 40-year-old Oscar winner became a household name following her iconic role as Elle Woods. Just 25 when she filmed the 2001 comedy, it’s clear Miss Witherspoon hasn’t aged a day!

Relishing in the film’s milestone, Reese shared with her Snapchat fans a preview of Elle’s wardrobe, and everything fit like a glove!

From the dress she wore for what Elle thought was her engagement dinner with Warner, to her iconic pink sparkly bikini – time has stood still for the accomplished star.

And she still can tap into Elle’s sass, quipping in one video, “whoever said ‘orange is the new pink,’ was seriously disturbed.”

Sharing a poignant message, the mum of three – she shares Ava, 16, and Deacon, 12, with ex Ryan Phillippe, and Tennessee, 3, with husband Jim Toth – also uploaded a powerful reference from the film.

Reese got to keep her wardrobe from the film!

Yeap, even that Halloween costume!

“Live every day like Elle Woods after Warner said she wasn’t smart enough for law school,” the quote read.

Instagram got behind the anniversary by chatting to the actress, who admitted that Legally Blonde was so much more than a movie for a lot of fans out there.

“I have had so many women say, ‘I went to law school because of Legally Blonde,” she told the social media outlet.

“It actually had a meaningful story. And it was about female empowerment. It wasn’t necessarily about the girl getting the guy.”

While there was a lot of depth to the rom-com, it still had one very loveable moment that every gal LOVES – the bend and snap!

“That is still the most asked request I get from people,” Reese laughed.

“I have a feeling I will be doing the bend and snap until I am 95.”

With her southern hospitality in check, Reese kindly showed fans the proper way to do a bend and snap ala Elle Woods style!

“You pretend you’re dropping something – whoops! – and you beeeeend and then you snap! And that’s how it’s done.”
