Celebs Are Making a Strong Case for Thigh-High Splits

Style inspo for your next event and for every day

Bows may have taken over the Golden Globes red carpet this year, but don’t think for a second that we didn’t notice those dramatic skirt splits – we see you Anne Hathaway, Catherine Zeta Jones and Irina Shayk, all looking glam with a single leg peeking out from swathes of silk satin and metallic brocade.

Thigh-skimming splits are no news to us (who else remembers Angelina Jolie’s not-so-subtle stance at the 2012 Oscars?) but their reoccurring red carpet appearances – see the most recent looks from last night’s Critics' Choice Awards – has us thinking that showing a little leg could be a good idea, for events and even our day-to-day.
