]]> This week celebrates the 20th anniversary of the release of the mega-pink hit film Legally Blonde. The film, which was Reese Witherspoon’s breakout hit, is well-regarded for its story of overcoming stereotypes and misconceptions. But in addition to that, its hot pink sense of fashion is also unforgettable, with the shade featuring on just about everything Elle Woods owns, from fluffy pink bunny suits to tailored courtroom attire.

And just like everything else Y2K, the movie’s styles straight out of 2001 are making a comeback on current influencers. And the hyper-pink look is not the only thing returning — there is to be a new film in the franchise coming out next year, which will bring the story into a new era.

Here is a selection of our bubblegum pink favourite Legally Blonde looks, along with some modern offerings that Elle would approve of:

Why wouldn’t you wear a fluffy pink coat with a pink sequin bikini top when sitting in the park? Seems like a perfect match to us, especially when coupled with pink glasses, so that you can see the world through rose-coloured lenses, just like Elle.

It’s pretty hard not to notice that off-the-shoulder tops are everywhere right now, along with flat caps (which have been spotted on Y2K trendsetter Bella Hadid as well).

Here’s how you can recreate the look, if you want to look like Bella, Elle, or both:

Elle’s courtroom look is as vivacious as her personality. With a tiny bit of Dolly Parton in 70s Nashville vibes (particularly with the jewelled belt plating against the vivid pinks), the power of her legal performance matches the punch of her outfit.

Here are some Elle-inspired tailored pink pieces:

Feathers are simply everywhere right now, so maybe Elle’s costume wasn’t a misstep, but rather a sign of an innovative mind. For those who want to be inspired by the look outside of a costume party, here are some fluffy pink feathered pieces that Elle surely would approve of:

As her story progresses, Elle’s style takes a turn towards what some may think is a more traditional look for a lawyer-to-be. But Elle’s style still shines through, with a playful polka dot blouse, topped up with a cheerful red brooch.

Here is how what you can wear to create your own professionally playful look:

This look is arguably one the most famous in film history — and is what pretty much what comes to mind the scorned you think of Elle Woods. And pink checks that are just charming as Elle are ultra-wearable today.

Here is our selection of modern pink checks for 2021:

Elle only zips up when she wants to — such as with this glossy jacket and skirt ensemble.

Here’s our selection of zippy pieces:

When one sense is lost, our brains get re-wired and put to work heightening our other senses. So, perhaps the absence of a boyfriend in my life is making me more receptive to the constant, relentless reminders of my relationship (or lack of) status. Or perhaps it’s the fact that we have finally surfaced after being smothered by Instagram feeds littered with pictures of smug-looking couples on their ‘cute lil Xmas weekend away XOX’; the constant and inescapable reminders of ‘boyfriend season’. Only to be thrust straight back into yet another one of the annual celebrations geared towards couples that us singletons are missing one key element to join in on yet are forced to endure.

It’s all getting a bit tedious, isn’t it? You literally can’t run to the shop for some milk for your morning cuppa’ without being smacked in the face with a ‘Dine in two for £10 this Valentines’ sign. You can’t even sit on your own in the comfort of your own home and innocently flick through TV channels without being bombarded with ‘Couples Come Dine With Me’, Married at first sight, First Dates, and now Love Island is back- GIVE ME STRENGTH!

From the movie ‘Valentine’s Day’

Imagine a parallel universe. Each year, after the months of couples just about surviving ‘single season’, on February 14th all the sad people who are in relationships sit at home in front of the notebook and sob into their Doritos and tub of Ben and Jerry’s cookie dough, after sinking a £4 bottle of Echo Falls (far too specific to be made up, I know!). Whilst restaurants and bars are buzzing with single people ‘cheers’-ing to being with themselves for…their whole lives.

From the movie ‘Legally Blonde’

In light of this worryingly appealing parallel universe, and after years of being forced to live as a single person in an undeniably couple-orientated world, I’ve decided we need a revolution. This year it’s time we put the ‘I’ in Valentine’s day. Instead of commiserating over what we don’t have in our lives, put the financial benefits of being single to good use. Use the money you have saved by not having to buy the obligatory Christmas, birthday and Valentine’s day presents this year (and every other year) and treat yourself. Go and buy a boujee bottle of bubbly, a good book, run yourself a bath, turn your phone off and soak yourself in self-love (and really expensive bubble bath). Nothing screams ‘I love myself’ more than a 24-karat face mask; this Valentine’s day, celebrate what you have achieved in your life. By yourself, you can do whatever the hell you want, you are unstoppable; celebrate yourself.

Here are our recommendations for this Valentine’s day (or any other day you feel like treating yourself!)…
