Celebrities wearing dresses with thigh-high splits on the red carpet certainly isn’t a new trend, but lately we’ve been noticing that the splits have been getting higher – ending at the crotch rather than somewhere mid-thigh.
While researching this trend (take my advice and do NOT google crotch splits), I became aware that the opportunities to wear a thigh-high split dress in real life are somewhat limited. I don’t know about you but I don’t attend many red carpet events and while I like experimenting with fashion, in order to wear a dress cut that high, it would require a waxing appointment, a tanning appointment and a spin class – or 20.
But if you are keen to flash your upper thigh, the key in pulling off this trend is all in the stance – as made evident by Angelina Jolie at the 2012 Oscars. Her awkward right leg drew a lot more attention than the Versace dress that was responsible for the pose.
Take a look through the gallery for the overwhelming consensus that to wear a thigh-high split dress, the pose is all about a hand on the hip, a slight head tilt and a facial expression that doesn’t belie how terrified you are of a wardrobe malfunction that will show off your undies (or lack of).
So what’s your verdict on this one? Likes or yikes?

Isn't it amazing how females are constantly obsessed with how another female LOOKS. I thought looks were supposed to be irrelevant. Or that is what females say to men. Then again, females have never been known for their honesty.
My thoughts are mixed on the slit - yes, sometimes it looks incredible! But do we end up looking at the slit and become blind to the rest of the dress...or even worse the woman wearing it. Check this out http://good-day-gorgeous.bl...
