The Waist-High Slits On The Emmys Red Carpet Are The Most Dramatic We’ve Ever Seen

Is there anything more exciting than a red carpet? While the runway is where we see looks for upcoming seasons, the red carpet is an array of the current season’s hottest trends, as interpreted by the A-listers we love so much.

And the 2021 Emmy Awards was no exception.

Stars strutted out in jaw-dropping couture looks from some of our favorite designers, showcasing stylish trends in astonishing colorways. One of this year’s favorite trends: the sky-high thigh slit.

Not only does a thigh slit make a gown more wearable and moveable, but it also lends a sexy statement. Here are the best interpretations we saw of this trend at the Emmy Awards:

Always a red carpet stunner, Kaley Cuoco entranced fans in a neon yellow number, custom made by Vera Wang. Featuring a fitted ruffle bodice and a high thigh slit, this style is the perfect blend of femininity and modernity.

Catherine Zeta-Jones stepped out in a Christina Ottaviano gown, rendered in a classic burgundy colorway. Its draped silhouette ensures a feminine appeal, with a strapless neckline and high slit and gentle train.

SNL star Cecily Strong made an elegant statement on the Emmys red carpet, wearing a flo0r-length dress by Azzaro. Featuring a plunging v-neckline and incredibly high slit, this dress brings a sexy touch to timeless elegance.

Is there anything more elegant than Atelier Versace? Probably not – and Mj Rodriguez has shown us one of the chicest designs from the fashion house – which she helped to create! Mj’s dress features a thigh slit up its flowy, longline skirt, plus a gathered design at the bodice.
