Lexi Minetree on Taking Over as Elle Woods, One Pink Outfit at a Time
- On July 1, the Legally Blonde prequel series Elle premieres on Prime Video, following teen Elle Woods after her family uproots her from Los Angeles to Medina, Washington.
- Unfamiliar with local nomenclature, Woods attends her first party in a hot pink bikini, struggling to adapt to the grunge-obsessed Pacific Northwest.
- Star Lexi Minetree, mentored by executive producer Reese Witherspoon, plays the teen lead; Minetree, 25, says she has seen the original 2001 film "an ungodly amount of times."
- Continuing a 25-year legacy, the series explores how Woods gained the confidence to embrace her unique style, a trait fans continue quoting today.
- Described as a "fish-out-of-water" story, the series captures the original film's humor while exploring Woods's evolution from naive teenager into the confident lawyer audiences know.
