BEST DRESSED of 2007: The red carpet look of the year!
No, I’m not talking about a gown, a pant suit or an outlandish garment that ruled the red carpet. It was a distinct “take my photo” stance that the celebrities took that was the biggest trend on the crimson strip. Last year it was that “over-the-shoulder-look-at-my-back” look that ruled the red carpet, this year it was the ubiquitous “cross-my-legs-confidence” mannerism that was popular for A-listers.
This look was a very inventive way to stand on the red carpet. It was unique, interesting, captivating, confident and, supposedly, the crossing of the legs is supposed to flatter a woman’s figure.
By standing and crossing the legs, it projects an hour glass look. I don’t know exactly how, but it works. Need a dash of sass? Put your hands on your hips to invoke that “I rule the red carpet” flair.
Here are some ladies that best illustrated this red carpet trend:

Shortly after her breakup with Ryan Phillipe, Reese Witherspoon began to set the red carpet ablaze wherever she went - especially when she crossed her legs!
