In an appearance on "Fashionably Late with Rachel Zoe," Witherspoon said she'd like to see the indomitable Elle Woods take on the Oval Office.

"I think we're ready to see Elle and see what she's up to lately," she said, responding to a fan question.

The actress acknowledged that her opinion alone wouldn't be enough to greenlight another sequel, adding, "Call MGM!," the studio behind the movies.

"Legally Blonde" made $141 million worldwide when it debuted in 2001, and continued to grow in popularity in home video and cable airings. "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde" hit theaters two years later, which saw Witherspoon as Woods heading to Washington D.C. to try to pass a ban on animal testing. It grossed $124 million worldwide.
