New sales figures released today by leading online fashion retailer Very.co.uk show that celebrity ‘leg bombing’ is having a dramatic effect on sales of split dresses across the UK as shoppers flock to buy the summer’s must-have fashion essential.
Since Angelina’s infamous red carpet display at this years Oscars, celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Nicole Scherzinger and Jessie J have all been photographed revealing more than a little leg at star-studded events around the world.
