The 24-year-old actress recently shared details about the incredible effort put into recreating Elle’s signature style. Forget modern interpretations; Minetree promises a truly authentic experience, with the series boasting a remarkable collection of true vintage pieces that pay homage to the original 2001 film.
“It’s been incredible to step into Elle’s shoes, and even more so to see the dedication that’s gone into the wardrobe,” Minetree told us in an exclusive interview. “They’ve sourced some absolutely incredible vintage pieces.

“The attention to detail is just phenomenal,” Minetree added. “Every accessory, every shoe, every handbag… it all tells a story. It’s not just about looking the part; it’s about embodying Elle’s spirit and understanding her journey through fashion.”
More Than Just Clothes: A Character’s Evolution

It’s a visual representation of her confidence, her intelligence, and her unwavering determination.”
Elle promises to be a stylish and engaging prequel that will delight fans of the original film. And with a wardrobe brimming with authentic vintage treasures, it’s shaping up to be a fashion-forward treat for audiences of all ages.
