Red Carpet Trend: Gowns with Thigh-High Slits

There’s nothing sexier than a long gown that subtly flashes a little leg with a thigh-high slit, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley can’t get enough of the look this season.  Take a peek at how she and other celebrities are wearing gowns with slits.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has perfected the slitted gown pose, and at the New York premiere of Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon she sizzled in scarlet in an Antonio Berardi gown with a slit up the leg. The model-turned-actress looked stunning at the Moscow Film Festival in a fuchsia Michael Kors, and she showed off her long legs at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in a champagne satin Stella McCartney gown with a flared halter top and long slit.

Kerry Washington was a cut above at the BET Awards in L.A. wearing an acid green column dress with a slit and silver halter from the Michael Kors 2010 Resort collection, a Movado watch, and Louboutins. Miranda Kerr bared some skin at the CFDA Fashion Awards in NYC in another Michael Kors number with a slit and cut-outs at the ribs, finishing the future-glam look with gold cuff bracelets. The designer is infatuated with slits, as another one of his slitted gowns, this one in aqua, was seen on Heidi Klum at the 2nd Annual amfAR Inspiration Gala at MoMA in NYC.
