STYLELeg-endary: Carrie Underwood, Lais Ribeiro, Dua Lipa, More Show Off Gorgeous Gams On The Red Carpet In Thigh-High Slit Gowns
Back in 2012 at the 84th Academy Awards, Angelina Jolie unexpectedly created an iconic fashion and viral pop culture moment.
Posing up a storm, the Maleficent star famously flashed her right leg through the dangerously high slit on her strapless black Versace dress. While the style was hardly groundbreaking, no one had ever quite owned it like Jolie did.
Today, the red carpet is filled with celebs looking to get a leg up on their fellow fashionistas. Up-to-there slits and splits on gorgeous gowns are a staple at award shows and premieres and a sassy yet classy way to show some skin (not to mention a killer pair of shoes).
Scroll through the gallery below to see just a few of the celebs who are showing some leg in thigh-high slit gowns.
