1. Kate Hudson

Kicking off our list of celebrities wearing thigh high splits is Kate Hudson. Here she works a very glamorous look at a Breast Cancer Research Foundation gala. She wears a black velvet gown with a gathered waist and thigh high split. Drop earrings, a cuff bracelet, and peep-toe pumps complete the look.

2. Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore works a more casual look in a tie-dye maxi skirt. The floaty skirt features a thigh high split which stops the entire outfit from becoming too frumpy. She sticks to an entirely black and white colour palette by teaming her skirt with a white top, black jacket, and black ankle boots.

3. Zoe Kravitz

Here, Zoe Kravitz styles an otherwise plain black maxi skirt. She teams it with a neutral ruffled blouse and black pumps. The thigh high split, lacy bra peeking through, and multiple rings add some extra edge to the overall look.

4. Lea Michele

The thing about thigh high splits is that they can transform a plain or dowdy looking dress into something much more daring. Here, Lea Michelle strikes a pose in a cream Valentino dress. She teams her dress with drop earrings, a small clutch, and strappy white heels.

5. Alexa Chung

Instead of a floor-skimming skirt, Alexa Chung wears a knee-length skirt that features a thigh high split. She works a more tailored look by combining her split skirt with a buttoned up coat. Metallic platform sandals and a black patent clutch complete the look.

6. Anne Hathaway

Thigh high splits are perfect for showing off a statement shoe. The gladiator-style thigh high heels Anne Hathaway wears here are definitely a daring choice. They’re quite a contrast to the glamorous black gown that she’s wearing.

7. Chloe Sevigny

Chloe Sevigny’s outfit shows us that thigh high splits aren’t just reserved for floor-sweeping gowns. She wears a printed monochrome dress and teams it with a compact black clutch and lace-up ankle boots. A bit of bright red lipstick adds a pop of colour to the entire look.

8. Olivia Palermo

I’m not sure many people would choose to rock a leopard print gown but here Olivia Palermo does just that, with a megawatt smile to boot. The draped gown features stomach cut outs and a very revealing thigh high split. She accessorises with a compact clutch, cuff bracelet and tribal print heels.

9. Vanessa Hudgens

True to her style, Vanessa Hudgens hits the red carpet in a very boho-inspired gown. The embellished top, feathery skirt and thigh high split make for quite a memorable combination. Since it’s quite a busy gown, she keeps her hair and makeup fairly simple.

10. Solange Knowles

Solange Knowles works a colourful look in a figure-hugging green dress with thigh high split. The fluttery sleeves soften the otherwise bodycon dress and the contrasting collar detail adds a fun element to the look.

These are just some examples of celebrities rocking thigh high splits. As you can see, not all the looks involve floor-skimming gowns. Which of these celebrities do you think pulled off the thigh high split the best?
