Reese Witherspoon [1]'s Legally Blonde character, Elle Woods, was just one of the rom-com legends [2] featured in Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" video [3], and the actress could not have been happier about the homage. After the video was dropped on Friday, Reese posted a side-by-side snap on Instagram with a still from Legally Blonde next to Ariana's re-creation. She also shared a clip to her Instagram Story of Ariana's "bend and snap" scene, which included Reese's former costar Jennifer Coolidge [4]; "I love this," Reese wrote.
The "Thank U, Next" video also paid tribute to Bring It On [5], 13 Going on 30 [6], and Mean Girls [7], and featured cameos from Kris Jenner, Troye Sivan, Jonathan Bennett, and more [8]. Unsurprisingly, it hit 14 million views in five hours, and garnered so many comments from fans that it broke YouTube's comment section [9]. Scroll through to see Reese's excited snaps, plus some examples of how well Ariana nailed her Elle Woods impression.
