As a ravishing Miss Hawaiian Tropic, sorority president, and calendar girl, Elle Woods is a big hit on the campus of her sun-drenched Los Angeles College.
She’s also got the perfect boyfriend in Warner Huntington III, a wealthy East Coast blue blood.
Fearing that his snooty friends and family will never accept the bubble-headed Elle, however, Warner dumps her before heading off to graduate law school at Harvard University.
Determined to win back her man, Elle enrols in the same imposing institution, quickly becoming an object of scorn and ridicule, especially to Warner’s old prep school flame.
Despite her penchant for malls, makeup, and tanning, Elle is no dummy and is soon showing elite Ivy League snobs a thing or two about class, self-confidence, and courtroom victory.
