Celebrities wearing thigh high splits are a pretty common sight. Whether it’s a floor-sweeping skirt or gown, thigh high splits have become a popular feature on many a celebrity outfit. While celebrities wearing thigh high splits are a common sight on the red carpet, now we’re seeing a trend for it off the red carpet too. Check out these celebrities who have decided to put their best, ahem, leg forward.
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?
