Pink is Awesome!!

Legally Blonde challenges society's stereotypes. Society portrays blondes as being ditzy and vapid. At first, Elle Woods comes off as a rich, sorority sister, who cares about nothing but shopping and parties. However, it is soon proven that she is an intelligent and hardworking woman when she gets accepted to Harvard Law. She quickly rises to the top of her class despite her obsession with pink. Society expects intellectuals to be like the preppy, uptight Vivian. But, Elle shows that bubbly, stylish girls can also be very smart. Of course, going along with stereotypes, the reason she decided to attend Harvard was to win back her boyfriend Warner. He had broken up with her when she thought he was going to propose. He said she wasn't serious enough for him. So, she proved that despite her sunshiney demeanor, she could be an intelligent law student. The film also plays up the power of beauty. Elle uses how attractive she is to help gain entrance to law school (her admissions video featured her in a bikini). However, she exceeds in school because of her brain, which just happens to be accented by beauty and style.
