Yahoo Lifestyle ‘Legally Blonde’ Prequel Series Drops First Image Of Lexi Minetree As Elle Woods
In the photo above, Lexi Minetree is making her official debut as Elle Woods in the Legally Blonde prequel Elle as Prime Video begins production on the original series.
You can tell they’ve gone back in time as the teen uses her clear phone to speak to her friends on a landline, as many did in the 90s. And in true Elle Woods fashion, she’s wearing a pink hoodie and surrounded by her pink bedding.
