Lexi Minetree returned to Steve Madden’s metallic pink Davina mules Wednesday for the London photocall of Prime Video’s “Elle,” giving the same heels she wore on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” a cleaner, all-pink setting. At St. Clement, Minetree stayed with Elle Woods’ signature color without repeating another look from Reese Witherspoon’s archive.

The backless Davina features a rounded open toe, a broad curved band and a slender 4.25-inch stiletto. Minetree’s Pink Metallic pair had a deep fuchsia, mirrorlike finish that appeared darker than her bubblegum-pink dress, keeping the look tonal rather than perfectly matched. A narrow sole extended just beyond the toes with a subtly squared edge, while the steep arch and nearly vertical heel sharpened the otherwise minimal mule.

Minetree paired the shoes with Leo Lin’s Roselle, a strapless A-line mini constructed with a boned bodice and scattered handcrafted bows. The small, structured embellishments appeared across the neckline, torso, hips and skirt. She repeated the playful detail with two matching bows clipped into her center-parted blonde hair.

Minetree first wore the Davina during her June appearance on “The Tonight Show,” where stylist Molly Dickson paired the mules with the exact Marc Jacobs spring 2001 dress Witherspoon wore to the original “Legally Blonde” premiere. Against its pink underlayer, sheer black overlay and flared hem, the metallic shoes carried a more overt turn-of-the-millennium reference. character-specific detail.

The repeat makes sense in the context of Minetree’s press tour so far, which has kept her in high, open-toe shoes — usually pink — with reflective finishes. She wore Gianvito Rossi’s metallic Marea 95 sandals with a pink vintage Dolce & Gabbana fall 2000 dress at “Elle World,” then shifted into Aldo’s rhinestone-covered Matelina platforms with an icy blue Mirchi by Kim set two days later.
“Elle” began streaming July 1 on Prime Video. The eight-episode first season follows Elle Woods in 1995, before Harvard, as she navigates high school friendships, romance and her developing personal style.
