It’s been 15 years since Elle Woods entered the hallowed halls of Harvard in Legally Blonde. The film gave us such cultural treasures as all-pink ensembles, a pint-size pup named Bruiser, and, of course, the bend-and-snap (works every time). And while actress Reese Witherspoon has gone on to win an Academy Award, start her own lifestyle label, and raise a family, her pink-adoring alter ego only gets better with age, too. In honor of Legally Blonde’s 15th anniversary, here, 10 lessons from everyone’s favorite Delta Nu.
