In honor of Legally Blonde&rsquo;s 20th anniversary, take a look back at the wise words of everyone&rsquo;s favorite Delta Nu.

The 2001 film <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/reese-witherspoon-iconic-roles-movies-tv-instagram-kids-daughter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Legally Blonde</a> is the ultimate <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/early-2000s-movies-for-y2k-style-inspiration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Y2K</a> feminist classic. Played by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/reese-witherspoon-iconic-roles-movies-tv-instagram-kids-daughter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reese Witherspoon</a>, Elle Woods gave us everything and more when it came to defying all odds in style. In an effort to get back at her ex-boyfriend, the sorority girl-turned-law student challenged the &ldquo;dumb blonde&rdquo; trope through her intellect and ability to stay true to herself. The film has continued to stay relevant, as its cultural references are still mentioned by Millennials and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gen-z-y2k-millennial-90s-fashion-nostalgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gen Z</a> alike. With talks of the third installment of the Legally Blonde series coming in 2022, we can hope to expect more Elle in the months to come. To celebrate the first film&rsquo;s 20th anniversary, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL rounds up the best quotes from everyone&rsquo;s favorite Delta Nu.&nbsp;

"I feel comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life. [Wolf whistle] I object!"

Following Warner’s shock from finding out Elle got into Harvard, she replies with, "What? Like, it’s hard?"

"I saw it in 'Teen Vogue' a year ago. So if you are trying to sell it to me for full price, you picked the wrong girl."

When Warner breaks up with Elle and tells her “I need to marry a Jackie, not a Marilyn,” Elle responds with, “You're breaking up with me because I'm too... blonde?”

“I once had to judge a tighty-whitey contest for Lambda Kappa Pi. Trust me, I can handle anything.”

“I’m Elle Woods and this is Bruiser Woods and we’re both Gemini vegetarians.”

“Oh, I like your outfit, too, except when I dress up as a frigid bitch, I try not to look so constipated.”

“So you bend...and snap!” According to Elle, when used appropriately, this method has an 83 percent rate of return on a dinner invitation. 

“Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands, they just don’t.” 

"You must always have faith in people. And, most importantly, you must always have faith in yourself."
