Lexi Minetree and Reese Witherspoon are connected through more than just their shared on-screen character.

The duo have both played the iconic Elle Woods at different stages of life, with the newcomer dipping into Witherspoon’s vibrant pink wardrobe multiple times during her “Elle” promo tour.

On Tuesday, Minetree stepped onto the pink carpet at the UK screening of the Prime show wearing an equally bright magenta gown.

The vintage Stella McCartney design featured a strapless bustier neckline and a small train, with the actress, 25, styling her hair up and in curls with rosy makeup to match.

Witherspoon first wore the look to the 2014 Met Gala for the “Charles James: Beyond Fashion”-themed event — though it perfectly fits Woods’ aesthetic.

This is not the first time that the actress has looked to her Woods predecessor for sartorial assistance.

She made an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” wearing the very same Marc Jacobs dress that Witherspoon chose for the premiere of “Legally Blonde” in 2001.

Even when she’s not borrowing from Witherspoon’s closet, Minetree and her stylist, Molly Dickson, have an eye towards the character of Elle Woods herself.

While promoting the film in New York City, the young actress slipped into the very same sequin Dolce & Gabbana that appears on film in the first movie, though she swapped the original blue for an aptly-chosen pink.
