Roxy Horner wows at premiere of Legally Blonde spin-off Elle
Roxy Horner and Lottie Moss channeled their inner Elle Woods on Tuesday night as they attended the London premiere for the Legally Blonde spin-off, Elle.
Model Roxy, 35, put on a shimmering display in a pink mirrored dress as she posed for photos with Lottie, 28, who slipped into a strapless gown.
Leading lady Lexi Minetree joined the cast at the Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square for the Prime Video prequel to Legally Blonde, which will be released on Wednesday.
The actress, 25, was handpicked by Reese Witherspoon to play Elle Woods in the upcoming Legally Blonde prequel Elle, which has already been renewed for season two.
In keeping with the show's theme, Lexi cut a glamorous figure in a plunging hot pink gown.
A host of Love Island stars also got the pink memo. Costume designer Sophie de Rakoff chose a signature hot pink palette to ensure Elle would completely contrast with her muted surroundings at Harvard Law School in the iconic 2001 film.

It was previously revealed that Lexi was handpicked by Reese to play Elle Woods in the upcoming Legally Blonde prequel Elle, which has already been renewed for season two.
Earlier this week, Lexi made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to discuss her casting and portrayal of the iconic Elle Woods character.
During the audition process, she said the casting people wanted '30 seconds of why you’ll be a good Elle Woods.'
'And I remember seeing that and thinking, "I could say I'm blonde and I'm from the South too, but I know what I have to do. I have to recreate her Harvard admissions video,"' she told the host.
'I don't know if anyone remembers, but in the movie, she basically applies to Harvard [and] instead of writing an essay, she puts on this sparkly pink bikini and she goes in the hot tub,' she said.
'And she goes, "Hi, I'm going to tell all of you at Harvard why I'm going to make an amazing Elle Woods." And I thought, "You know what? That's what I'm going to do."'
The new series follows a teenage Elle Woods as she navigates Beverly Hills High School, fashion choices and challenges that help her to become the confident and empowered young woman that fans grew to love in the films.

Lexi shared that people have often told her she looks like Reese.
'It's actually spooky because even when I was a brunette, random people would come to me and say, "You know who you look like? You look like Reese Witherspoon." I was like thank you very much. That is a huge compliment,' she said.
She also revealed that she watched Legally Blonde 150 times to prepare for the role.
Reese, for her part, said that watching the actress step into her shoes has been 'one of the most gratifying experiences of my career'.
'Twenty-five years after the world met Elle Woods for the first time, it's a dream come true to share the story of how she became the unstoppable force we all fell in love with,' Reese said.
Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
