The leg-baring minidress is the red carpet style of choice this season for toned celebrities. Some celebs opt for loose and flirty, while others choose tight and sexy.
Chloë Sevigny (in Prada) and Kate Walsh (in Monique Lhuillier) wore sophisticated Grecian-inspired dresses while Nicky Hilton went for a young, mod style. Legs take center stage in these three winning looks - note the absence of cleavage and minimal accessories.
Cameron Diaz (in Luella), Lindsay Lohan (in Herve Leger Couture) and Victoria Beckham (in vintage) went for ultra short and ultra tight - a tough combination to pull off, even for size 0 celebrities. Cameron looks gorgeous, and she's definitely got the body for such a short dress - but we wouldn't suggest trying this at home where you actually may have to sit down or bend. We're not loving Lindsay's rainbow dress and Victoria's '80s-inspired zebra dress is beyond awful.
What do you think of this trend and the looks shown here?

I love the mini-dress trend -- on other people. It is definitely not for me.
Of the looks here, I think Chloe looks fabulous. I totally agree with the "beyond awful" Victoria Beckham - hardly posh!
i love these dresses - especially the fuller ones. they are also great worn with capri leggings...not loving the more fitted styles.
I wish I had the the legs of Cameron to flaunt such a great itsy bitsy dress, but of course I'd still be too afraid to sit down. And Beckham is definitely missing her posh look. And her hair is too bright as well. I dig the young fun looks of Chloe and Nicky, but I alas I don't feel completely confident to sport such minis.
