How to be like Elle Woods

Note from Minty: This was so fun to make! I'm making it a series, let me know if there are any icons you aspire to that you want to be like and I can make things for them.

Academic

Elle Woods always believed in herself. She never considered second choices and she never doubted herself. She got her dream and she worked hard for it. She might have gone to Harvard for the wrong reasons but she fell in love with working and learning, romanticise your studying to achieve the same thing. She studied as much as she possibly could and she believed in herself 100%. Pay attention in class and try to build up a good relationship with your teachers.

Social

Be kind to everyone! Elle is known for her sunny personality, even when others were putting her down she made her funny quips and moved on. She treated everyone well whether they were popular or pretty or not, and she always called out mean and cruel girls. You can tell how loved and valued she was by the support her sorority sisters have her while she studied. They didn't understand why she wanted what she wanted, but they supported her anyway

Style

Elle is known for her bright and girly style. Wear pinks and light blues, and lots of sparkles to try and emulate her. For makeup she wore light and simple makeup with pops of pink. Her hair was always in an absolutely gorgeous blowout that I am insanely jealous of, and if you look online you can find loads of useful tutorials for achieving this look

I'm rewatching Legally Blonde and I feel like you couldn't make this movie today only because modern writers would want to qualify Elle's intelligence.

Like. The first twenty minutes leading up to her acceptance to Harvard are packed with establishing character pieces highlighting her intelligence.

We open on her savagely tearing apart a sales worker that was trying to trick her into an upsell. And once they start talking about her academics?

I mean. Yeah.

She's been maintaining a 4.0 GPA and manages to study hard enough to get a 179 (out of 180) on her LSAT while also managing the responsibilities of being sorority president? Yeah. Yeah, that's really fucking impressive. Elle Woods is a goddamn mega-genius.

It's just that her mega-genius is presented comically because of how hyperfeminine and Rich White Girl she is. She's coded bimbo to disguise how mega-smart she actually is. Which is. Y'know.

Kind of.

What the entire movie is about. The preconceptions and harsh judgment of women who are considered too girly. Elle doesn't have to change herself and become smart in order to succeed. Elle's fine, actually; If you thought she wasn't, you're just wrong.

She's not a static character; She does have her own growing and developing to do. It just. Isn't related to her intelligence and capacity for understanding even the complex subject of case law. She was already brilliant from the word go.

When she gets into Harvard, despite her comically unconventional admissions essay, it's treated as a relatively ordinary admission. It's not like they're running some kind of special program or something for less qualified candidates that she only finds out about halfway through the film and then has to resolve to prove that she can do it anyway.

(In fact, that's how Warner got in. The big reveal is that he's an unqualified dipshit whose family bribed his way in.)

There's not, like... one guy who's willing to take a risky chance on her and everyone else is just like, "Okay, but she's worthless and when this blows up in your face, it'll be your career on the line." There's a little bit of discussion and then a rubber stamping.

Elle gets into Harvard because... the board looks over her credentials and goes, "Yeah. That is a Harvard-worthy admission. Stamp it." And that's it.

She gets in because she's smart and she puts in the work. That's it. That is all there is to the secret of Elle Woods's success. She's smart. She puts in the work. She succeeds.

I just. I really like that for her. And I'm not sure how many writers today would be willing to let her have that.
