Pretty in Pink: ‘Elle’ Star Lexi Minetree Wears Reese Witherspoon’s 2014 Met Gala Look to London Premiere of ‘Legally Blonde’ Prequel
Lexi Minetree, star of the new Amazon Prime prequel series 'Elle,' made a deliberate fashion callback at the show's London premiere by wearing the same Stella McCartney dress that Reese Witherspoon wore to the 2014 Metropolitan Museum Gala. The choice was orchestrated by Molly Dickson, Minetree's stylist and a former assistant to Witherspoon's longtime fashion consultant Leslie Framer, suggesting an intentional homage between the original character and her new interpreter.
This styling decision reflects a broader pattern of sartorial nods during Minetree's promotional appearances. Dickson previously dressed Minetree in an identical Marc Jacobs gown that Witherspoon wore to the 2001 premiere of the original 'Legally Blonde' film. The deliberate archival approach complements industry observations that Minetree bears a striking physical resemblance to Witherspoon and closely replicates the original character's distinctive vocal delivery and mannerisms.
- Actress Lexi Minetree wore a recycled Stella McCartney gown to the London premiere of 'Elle,' the same dress Reese Witherspoon wore to the 2014 Met Gala.
- Minetree's stylist—a former assistant to Witherspoon's own stylist—has deliberately echoed Witherspoon's red-carpet looks, including a Marc Jacobs design from the original 'Legally Blonde' premiere.
