Reese Witherspoon breaks her pose to hold hands with Jennifer Coolidge in a sweet, nostalgic reunion moment at the 'Elle' NYC event

Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge posed together on the red carpet at the 'Elle World' immersive fan event hosted by Prime Video. The two actors smiled warmly for the cameras while perfectly channelling their iconic characters from 'Legally Blonde'. During the event, the duo shared light-hearted banter, turned to talk to one another, and affectionately held hands, showcasing their enduring friendship decades after filming together. The immersive "Elle World" pop-up took place at Manhattan's Hall des Lumières. It served a dual purpose: celebrating the 25th anniversary of 'Legally Blonde' (2001) and promoting Prime Video's highly anticipated prequel series, 'Elle', which premieres on July 1, 2026. The event featured the first major stage reunion of the original cast since the movie's release. During the panel, a tearful Witherspoon stated that playing Elle Woods has been the "privilege of my life". Meanwhile, Jennifer Coolidge had the crowd laughing when she admitted she stupidly thought she was auditioning for the lead role of Elle Woods when she first tried out for the film.
