A modern classic comedy, Legally Blonde (2001) set the modern fashion for chihuahua-in-a-purse, at least a year earlier than Paris Hilton emulated Ellie Woods (Reese Witherspon) and her best pal Bruiser (Moonie).

Reese really does love chihuahuas and has one of her own named Chi-Chi Rodriguez. She also has an English bulldog named Frank Sinatra and French bulldog Coco Chanel.
