One stand-out fashion trend among female stars at the 2019 SAG Awards on Sunday was inspired by another star who wasn’t present: Angelina Jolie.
Let’s go back seven years, when Jolie was still in a Hollywood super couple relationship with Brad Pitt and venturing into directing films. At the 2012 Academy Awards, Jolie paraded onto the red carpet with Pitt, wearing an elegant black Atelier Versace gown with with a very noticeable thigh-high slit.
Jolie, a master at creating drama in movies and in her glamorous, globe-trotting personal life, definitely worked that slit. According to In Style magazine, she made red-carpet history by striking a fierce pose with her long, slender leg thrust out.
The extreme slit, allowing a sexy leg reveal, was back in full force at the SAG Awards Sunday night, exhibited most elegantly by Lady Gaga, Angela Bassett, Amy Adams, Robin Wright, Patricia Clarkson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Samira Wiley, Mandy Moore and D’Arcy Carden. Check out the slide show to see how these women worked those extreme slits.
