\n\tJennifer Coolidge<\/a> proved Paulette Bonafont\u00e9 still adores a bouffant beehive at the \u201cElle World\u201d prequel<\/a> series premiere in New York on Sunday night. The actress paid homage to her \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d character alongside her original cast mates, Reese Witherspoon<\/a> and Selma Blair.<\/p>\n

\n\tClad in a chiffon cheetah print caftan, Coolidge pulled her muddy blond hair in the \u201960s-inspired half-up, half-down hairdo, with a cheeky twist in the back. Modestly teased on top and softly blown on the bottom, the style was noticeably subdued compared to the overly accessorized updos her character once donned throughout the first and second films. Where Bonafont\u00e9 once favored frizzy waterfalls and bedazzled clips, Coolidge now sported flat, face-framing layers and hidden bobby pins. <\/p>\n

\n\tHer makeup was also modernized. The icy blue hues that once undercut her skinny brows was replaced with a pool of neutral shadow that reached her now bushy brows. Dressed in the faded brown hue, her squinty eyes looked to also be embellished with black mascara. Meanwhile, her lips were coated in a rosy gloss. <\/p>\n

\n\tThough Coolidge has been known to collaborate with the likes of Hung Vanngo and Jayden Ho Pham, she\u2019s also famous for crafting her own red carpet beauty<\/a> aesthetic. For hair, \u201cThe White Lotus\u201d star has tapped celebrity stylists Sami Knight and Anthony Campbell; however, she has not yet credited either as the artists behind her Sunday night look. <\/p>\n

\n\tNext to her, Witherspoon brought her beloved character into the modern day, pairing her signature blond with a hot pink off-the-shoulder satin gown plucked straight from Prada\u2019s fall 2026 ready-to-wear runway. For her part, Blair styled her blond \u201cbixie\u201d \u2014 a hybrid bob-pixie \u2014 with a two-toned black and babydoll pink Tom Ford gown with open-toe strappy sandals. Elsewhere on the carpet, \u201cyoung Elle Woods,\u201d played by Lexi Minetree, dug into the costume archive, pulling a pink version of the sparkly blue Dolce and Gabbana dress worn by Witherspoon at the beginning of the original movie.<\/p>\n
