Lexi Minetree is getting candid about taking over the iconic wardrobe of fictional character Elle Woods in the new Legally Blonde prequel series.
The actress, 24, revealed during a public appearance on Monday that the upcoming TV series Elle is full of vintage pieces that pay homage to the original Reese Witherspoon film.
“I think right now they have me in a little bit of pink, I’ll tell you that much,” newcomer Minetree told People Magazine at the Amazon Upfront red carpet in New York City.
“But they’ve picked out amazing pieces. Every outfit the costume designer has chosen is true vintage, and it just is such a great homage to that time period.”
“I can’t wait for everyone to see it,” she added.
Minetree also opened up about the positive influence the original actress and the show’s producer Reese Witherspoon had on her.
“There is not a better character that I could be playing that’s healthy for my psyche to be in,” she shared.
“I’m like, ‘Oh, an optimist who believes in herself, hmm-mm, yeah.’ I think I will go method for this role and just believe in myself and just say, ‘You know what? I’m bringing Lexi’s take onto this role and following in the footsteps of what Reese has already created.'”
“Such an amazing character,” she continued.
Prime Video announced the prequel series alongside Witherspoon’s media company, Hello Sunshine, in May 2024.
