Lexi Maintree and Reese Witherspoon have a connection that goes beyond just sharing on-screen characters.
Both have played the iconic Elle Woods at different stages in their lives, and the newcomer dipped into Witherspoon’s bright pink wardrobe multiple times during her promotional tour for “Elle.”
On Tuesday, Minnetree hit the pink carpet at a UK screening of the show in a similarly bright magenta dress.
Stella McCartney’s vintage design featured a strapless bustier neckline and a small train, and the 25-year-old actress wore her hair up and curled with rosy makeup to match.
Witherspoon first wore the look at the 2014 “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” themed event, the Met Gala, and it was a perfect fit for Woods’ aesthetic.
This isn’t the first time the actress has asked Woods’ predecessor for help with outfits.
She appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” wearing the same Marc Jacobs dress that Witherspoon chose for the 2001 premiere of “Legally Blonde.”
Even when they’re not borrowing from Witherspoon’s closet, Minnetree and stylist Molly Dixon are focusing on Elle Woods’ own character.
While promoting the film in New York City, the young actress wore the same sequined Dolce & Gabbana as she appeared in the first film, but swapped the original blue for a well-chosen pink.
