InStyle's editorial guidelines Updated on July 13, 2016 @ 12:45PM Pin Share Tweet Email Photo: Lester Cohen/WireImage We’ve had 15 years to practice and master the art of Elle Woods’s beloved guy-catching move, the “bend and snap,” from Legally Blonde—the film premiered back in 2001. But if you still haven’t managed to nail down the sultry move, there’s no need to fret. On Wednesday, 40-year-old actress Reese Witherspoon, who portrayed Woods, took to Instagram to not only commemorate her hit pink-fueled film, but also gift us all with an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide to recreating the standout move. While Witherspoon excellently takes on the bend and snap in the sped-up video above, another slowed-down version is totally foolproof. “You pretend you’re dropping something and you bend, and then you snap! And that’s how it’s done,” the star said in the version posted to Instagram’s official account. She also opened up to the social media platform about the impact the movie has had on the lives of others. “I have had so many women say, ‘I went to law school because of Legally Blonde,” she told Instagram. “It actually had a meaningful story. And it was about female empowerment. It wasn’t necessarily about the girl getting the guy,” she added. As for what the greatest takeaway from the movie has been, it’s hands-down the “bend and snap.” “That is still the most asked request I get from people,” she said. “I have a feeling I will be doing the bend and snap until I am 95.” 10 Style Truths We Learned from Legally Blonde's Elle Woods There you have it.
