44. Mindy Kaling as Elle Woods (2021)
This Halloween, the living comedy legend Mindy Kaling made the decision to honour a few other comedic masterminds by dressing up as them. She posted a slideshow of Halloween costumes on Instagram along with the caption, “So I live for Halloween costumes.” This year, I thought it would be fun to dress up as several famous female comedians, re-creating some of their most iconic looks.
While she chose some of our favourite people to model ourselves after, such as Amber Ruffin, Ali Wong, and Issa Rae, as well as the character Selina Meyer from the show Veep played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, our top choice would have to be Elle Woods. Naturally, Reese Witherspoon, who plays Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, nailed all of the answers in the comments.
