Elle Woods of the iconic "Legally Blonde" franchise celebrated her 15th anniversary this week of the film's release. In addition to the movie, the story of Elle Woods coming into her own was turned into a book, musical and even multiple sequels of the film. Ms. Woods is a movie icon in her own right. Her positivity, love of pink and chihuahua, Bruiser, have inspired viewers across the country. Elle is a woman that everyone can learn some tips from. Her bold moves are something to admire and her life lessons are plentiful throughout the movie.

1. Always have faith In yourself

Elle couldn't have said it better herself!

2. Don't let anyone try to change your dreams and passions

Elle had her standards set high for Harvard Law and did not let anyone who doubted her get in her way!

3. You should always work hard for what you want

Elle had to work her butt off to get into Harvard Law to chase after her ex-boyfriend Warner. She definitely proves that hard work pays off.

4. Always have confidence

Even when everyone had their doubts about her, Elle never lost confidence in herself. It is definitely one of her most admirable qualities.

5. Don't let people question your self worth

Elle was appalled at the fact that her boyfriend Warner was breaking up with her because he wanted someone more "serious." She didn't let anything he said stop her from accomplishing her goals and living her life.

5. Always be yourself

Even though her law school classmates may have thought she didn't have what it took because of her "Malibu Barbie Stereotype," Elle didn't let that detest her. She continued to be her bubbly, pink self even when people turned against her or didn't accept her.

6. Never be afraid to speak up

When Warner attempted to take her back at the end of the movie, she knew that he was not meant for her, despite all of her best efforts throughout the story. She knew that she deserved better and spoke her mind.

7. Don't let the haters get you down

In this iconic part of the movie, Elle didn't let the mean girls get to her. She wore her bunny costume proudly and didn't let it shake her.

8. Always keep your dreams and ambitions big!

Elle's original plan was to go to Harvard Law to win back her boyfriend Warner, but ends up finding herself and a passion for law. Always dream big, like Elle!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
