Any gal can sport a plunging neckline, but a thigh-high slit? That takes a special kind of woman. Whether she has legs that go on for miles or simply has the confidence to rock ’em and see how how high they can go, it’s a wonderfully sexy thing. And these famous women prove they are just that: wonderful and sexy.

Two amazing slits for the price of one. It's one of the rare times she's kept her midriff covered, though.

The low-cut V and dangerously high slit make for a killer combination. She makes anything look good.

Zendaya
The hot pink, the plunging mock neck and the slit are stunning but it's the cape-train that elevates it to a level of drama we don't deserve. Plus, she's a natural poser, balancing cute and fun.

Shimmering pasties, thigh-high stockings and an even higher slit? Only RiRi.

Selena Gomez
One of her most daring dresses to date, Selena struck the perfect balance of risque and stylish, what with its studded detailing, exposed lace bustier and thigh-high embellished slit.
Though this was pretty racy. Sort of.

Toni Braxton
The OG. It was the 2001 Grammys when the singer slayed in barely-there scraps of material. She wins all the awards.
