American actress Reese Witherspoon played the iconic role in 2001 with Legally Blonde and its sequel in 2003.

Reports about the film's new release date came a day after its original cast's virtual reunion, which included Luke Wilson, Selma Blair, Jennifer Coolidge, Holland Taylor, and many more.

“It was just like senior year, except for funner!” Reese wrote on her personal Instagram account.

“Thank you to this wonderful group of people who came together to reminisce on #LegallyBlonde all these years later.”

She continued, “Every time someone mentions how #ElleWoods has inspired them, it brings me so much joy.”
