Kim Kardashian as Elle Woods (image via Instagram)
Yesterday may have been Halloween, but that doesn’t mean Kim Kardashian has forgotten about her law school dreams — not even for the day. That’s because in honor of the holiday, Kim dressed up as everyone’s favorite law student, none other than Elle Woods.
Of course, because it is Kim Kardashian and there’s nothing that’s worth doing that’s not worth overdoing, she does more than just dress up as the Legally Blonde heroine. That’d be too easy. No, she did more than just throw on a costume — she recreated the entire Elle Woods video essay that she used to apply to Harvard Law School. You really have to check it out.
Reese Witherspoon, the original Elle Woods, appreciated Kardashian’s efforts as well:
As many people are aware, in addition to being a beauty product mogul and reality TV star, Kim Kardashian has recently set her sights on becoming a lawyer, like her father, the infamous O.J. Simpson attorney, Robert Kardashian. Though she isn’t actually in law school (not having a bachelor’s degree makes that tough), she is studying via apprenticeship to be a lawyer with plans to take the bar exam in 2022. And of course, because it is Kim, she’s taken to social media to document the process.
She shared a criminal law issue spotter that cast Justin Bieber as a criminal mastermind, complained about the fact that law student life sucks, explained that she neglected her Keeping Up With the Kardashians livetweeting duties to keep up with torts homework, and she bailed on summer holiday festivities as she continued with her contracts homework. She even has a favorite law professor — University of Washington contracts professor Steve Calandrillo — that she’s shouted out on Insta.
