And now it seems leg bombing is once again back in fashion, as at this year’s Met Ball we saw a whole host of stars drawing attention to their pins in dresses in with daringly high slits, kicking off - quite literally - with singer Rita Ora.

Rita even went as far as wrapping her errant leg up in ribbons in order to draw our gaze towards it.
Meanwhile, another star who was showing a whole lot of leg was ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ actress Emma Stone, who took some time out from her usual Monday night routine of Spice Girls sing-a-longs and ‘Made In Chelsea’ marathons to attend the swish gala.

Emma’s hot pink dress allowed her to leg bomb like a pro, while Kim Kardashian also gave it a go.

Could this mean we’re on the verge of a full-scale leg-bomb’ revival? Are awards ceremonies and A-list bashes about to become awash with wayward legs being stuck out this way and that?
