"Draped in Versace, the Maleficent star walked the awards show's red carpet in a strapless velvet ball gown with a vertiginous thigh-high slit practically unheard of at the time. Predictably, as any fashion girl would, Jolie popped her leg out as she posed to better flaunt the risqué detail. The moment sent the internet into such a tizzy, her limb even landed its own Twitter account (@AngiesRightLeg)."
"On Monday, Dec. 1, the Hunger Games alum attended the annual Gotham Film Awards and updated the classic skirt suit. The Dior ambassador turned to the brand (and Jonathan Anderson's magic) for the event and wore a fitted, tailored jacket. Instead of pairing it with a typical pencil skirt or a full midi, which is quintessentially Dior, Lawrence harkened to a "cheugy" trend from the 2010s that all but disappeared in recent years. Welcome, the return of the high-low hem."
"The high-low was a millennial staple in the 2010s, alongside the likes of peplums, skinny jeans, and bodycon dresses, before Gen Zers branded them passé. The tide is turning in favor of millennial fashion, however, with an uptick in A-listers reintroducing them on red carpets. The asymmetrical skirt, in particular, already garnered a fanbase that includes Emily Ratajkowski, Kylie Jenner, and Julia Fox. And for spicy dressing aficionados, Lawrence's leg-baring take should be the blueprint."
Angelina Jolie's 2012 Oscars appearance in a strapless Versace velvet ball gown with a vertiginous thigh-high slit provoked an intense online reaction and inspired a Twitter account for her exposed limb. That moment normalized extreme slits on red carpets and created the Jolie Effect. Recently, Jennifer Lawrence attended the Gotham Film Awards in a fitted Dior jacket paired with a high-low hem echoing a 2010s "cheugy" trend. The high-low silhouette, once a millennial staple dismissed by Gen Z, is returning among A-listers such as Emily Ratajkowski, Kylie Jenner, and Julia Fox. Lawrence's look paired a thigh-high cut with a floor-length train.
