Jimmy Choo, the shoe designer, was asked to make sixty-three different pairs of shoes for this movie, all out of man-made materials (to be animal-friendly along the line of the line of non-animal cruelty, the line of this movie). Reese Witherspoon asked to keep them all, along with all of the designer clothing she wore in this movie.
During the opening scene, while looking at the scrapbook, one of the girls points to a photo of Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) with Representative Victoria Rudd (Sally Field). She says, "Those are two kick-ass women. I like them, I really like them", a reference to Sally Field's acceptance speech at the 1985 Oscars.
All of Elle Woods' (Reese Witherspoon's) hair and hairstyles throughout this movie were top-grade wigs due to Witherspoon's shorter hair for Sweet Home Alabama (2002).
David Nicksay: The producer is one of the Representatives to whom Elle talks while trying to round up signatures for the discharge petition.
