The Oscar-winning actress caused a stir at the 2012 Academy Awards when she showed off a gam in a gown with a daring slit, but it's far from the first time she's sported the style. Take a look back at the similarly racy red carpet fashions she's worn over the years.
And as everyone knows by now, Angelina was breathtaking in a strapless black Atelier Versace dress with a thigh-high slit at the 2012 Academy Awards last Sunday. The only thing that was more talked about than the gown was the stance the Oscar winner hit both on the red carpet and again onstage while presenting the Oscar for best adapted screenplay to show off her leg; it was good-naturedly mocked during the ceremony, spawned countless headlines ...
At
first glance, Angelina looked downright demure in her sparkling Atelier
Versace dress and minimalist makeup at the 2009 Golden Globes. That all
changed, of course, once she posed so that we could see one of her
stems peeking through. (1/11/2009)
Hmm, are you beginning to see a pattern here? Once again, Angelina wore a
Versace design in a neutral hue, featuring a sophisticated neckline and --
wait for it -- a super sexy slit when it was time to premiere "The
Tourist" in NYC. (12/6/2010)
The appearance made by Angelina Jolie's leg at the 2012 Oscars telecast was one of the most popular things about the entire show! Of course, that wasn't the first time the actress had flaunted her gams. Back in 2003, the "Girl, Interrupted" star strutted her stuff in a black dress -- obviously one of her favorite shades to wear -- with a plunging neckline and, yep, a sexy slit that allowed people to catch a glimpse of her right leg at the ...

and her leg were joined by the dashing Brad Pitt as they attended the
premiere of his movie "Inglourious Basterds" at the Cannes Film Festival
in France a few years ago. They do make a handsome trio, don't they?

The
star shook up her signature look a little when she opted for a more
voluminous Atelier Versace gown in chocolate -- not black -- for
France's Cannes Film Festival last year. Yet it still had the split!

Angelina
showed off a single stem while rocking a short-sleeved dress by (gasp!)
Michael Kors at the L.A. premiere of her kiddie flick "Kung Fu Panda
2." Should Donatella Versace be worried? (5/22/2011)
Brad's
best gal once again opted for a Michael Kors creation at the 2012
Producers Guild Awards last month. Of course, the long lacy gown gown
had a thigh-high slit that allowed her to show a little skin at the
event. While Angelina's looks are quite similar, we have to admit
they're all gorgeous. Which is your favorite? (1/21/2012)
Not
to be left out, Angelina's left leg (and right arm) made an appearance
at the premiere of action flick "Salt" in Tokyo. The movie ended up
grossing more than $293 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo,
no doubt because so many men wanted to see the sexy Jolie and both of
her legs kick some butt. (7/27/2010)
Forget "The Artist," the real hot topic from the Oscars last month was Angelina Jolie's
right leg, which she constantly kept thrusting out from under her
high-cut black Atelier Versace gown. Within hours, dozens of "memes" — a
concept that spreads via the internet — were created, with the
actress's leg being digitally added onto everything from the Statue of
Liberty to the Moon landing. So what did she think about the phenomenon?
"I honestly didn't pay attention to it," Jolie, 36, tells The
Huffington Post in a new interview. "You know what I mean? I don't watch
those TV shows and if I go online and see something about myself, I
don't click on it. And the people I surround myself with don't really
talk about that kind of stuff. I heard something, but I didn't pay any
attention. It's as simple as a being a woman picking a dress you like
and having a night, and not really thinking about anything else."

Even before the Oscars had ended
that night, Jolie's daring look was the talk of the show. When she
walked the stage to present the Best Adapted Screenplay award, the
audience laughed when she jutted her leg out and gave them a knowing
look with a hand on her hip. And when "Community" actor Jim Rash stepped
up to the mic to accept his statue for "The Descendants,"
he also struck the same pose, albeit his leg was much more covered up.
"Honestly, as soon as I saw her pose like that, I was like, 'I'm going
to do that,'" Rash told Entertainment Weekly after the show. "I knew
[fellow winner, director Alexander Payne] was going to take the reins,
so I was like, 'How can I make a moment?' — selfishly."
