Trivia As agreed in her contract, Reese Witherspoon kept all of her costumes after filming. See more »
Goofs Elle's career counselor discourages her from applying to Harvard because, despite her 4.0 average, her major was fashion merchandising. Contrary to popular opinion, many laws schools, including and especially Harvard, do not require applicants to have a law-related undergraduate degree. In fact, having another major where a law degree could be useful might help her stand out from the crowd. In Elle's case, she could use a law degree to be legal counsel for a fashion house. And, as the climax proves, her knowledge of cosmetology proves invaluable in court. See more »
