I whakauruhia a Witherspoon ki roto i te kiriata o te tau 2001 a Legally Blonde. I kii a Witherspoon mo te mahi, "I taku panui i a Legally Blonde, ka penei ahau, 'No Beverly Hills ia, he taonga ia, kei roto ia i te whare wananga. He hoa rangatira tana. Ae ra, ka whakarerea ia. Ko wai e whakaaro ana? E kino tonu ana ahau ki a ia.' Nō reira, me whakarite kia kore e taea e koe te kino ki a ia". He hit a Legally Blonde i te tari pouaka, e $ 96 miriona te utu i te kaainga. Na te mahi a Witherspoon i whakamoemiti ai nga kaiwhakawhiwhi i a ia i te wa i tiimata ai te korero ki a ia ko "te Meg Ryan hou". I korero a Roger Ebert, "I whakaohohia e Witherspoon tenei rauemi me te ra me te mohio tere", a i kii a Salon.com "he ataahua tana [Witherspoon] e whakaatu ana i te ahua o Elle". I te wa ano, ko te Seattle Post-Intelligencer i whakatau, "He kaiwhakaari whakaari a Witherspoon ka taea te whakaoho i tetahi whakaaturanga ma te haereere i roto i te tino wairua me te akiaki, a ko ia anake te mana o tenei whakaari iti iti". Mo tana mahi, i whakawhiwhia a Witherspoon ki tana tohu Golden Globe Tuarua mo te Kaitoi Pai rawa atu me te MTV Movie Award mo te Whakaaturanga Waiata Pai.  Patai: Na wai i whakawhiwhia te tohu mo te Whakaaturanga Waiata Pai?
