Cannes 2013 Thigh-High Slit Trend: Sharon Stone, Olivia Palermo Wear Revealing Looks (PHOTOS)

It seems as if "Angelina Jolie Leg" isn't going away anytime soon!

Celebrities at Cannes 2013 have been heating up the red carpet in sexy dresses with thigh-high slits including New York socialite Olivia Palermo, who hit up the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS 2013 charity event on Thursday wearing a leopard-print Roberto Cavalli with a searing hot thigh-high slit.

Olivia isn't the only one who has been showing off her toned gams; Sharon Stone proved that she still has her hot "Basic Instinct" body in another Roberto Cavalli creation, which featured sideboob and a slit that almost went up to her nether regions. (Although we were a bit concerned that her risqué dress would cause her to take a tumble over Cavalli's yacht.)

Unfortunately, thigh-high slits are very likely to give the wearer a wardrobe malfunction. "Sin City" star Rosario Dawson felt the wrath of her Cannes 2013 gown on May 21, when a gust of wind made her sequined white gown fly up, revealing her underwear to photographers.

Despite the inherent dangers, many actresses opt to wear the leg-baring gowns, including Jolie at the 2012 Oscars and "Transformers" star Megan Fox, who lit up the Internet in 2009 when she wore a deep red one-shoulder gown without a bra and a slit up to here.

Even Disney cutie Selena Gomez wore the hot trend at the Billboard Awards on May 19. (Perhaps to make on-off boyfriend Justin Bieber jealous?)

What do you think of the thigh-high slit trend?
