Mini V Maxi
Who's working the higher hemlines and floor-sweeping gowns the best?
PA PhotosMaxi: At the Cannes Film Festival, Angelina opted for her tried and tested red carpet routine of statement, elegant gowns in this gorgeous chestnut brown silk gathered-hip creation from Atelier Versace.
PA PhotosMini: But when Angie ditches the long-lengths, she often goes for a sleek and chic strapless LBD like this sequinned one she wore to the premiere of her movie Salt.
Rex FeaturesMaxi: Bringing out her inner Grecian goddess with this oh-so-glamorous, floor-sweeping white dress, Miranda Kerr paired up the frock perfectly with gold accessories and a Californian tan.
Rex FeaturesMini: Vamping it up for a Victoria's Secret party though, the Aussie model put her famous curves to work in this high-shine strapless mini which she teamed with black heels and impossibly shiny hair.
Getty ImagesMaxi: Jennifer Aniston rarely opts for a full-length gown so this Valentino Haute Couture creation that she wore to the 2013 Oscars, was a real turn up for the books.
PA PhotosMini: Jen-An's usual red carpet go-to is something a little more like this metallic mini with au naturel make-up and minimal accessories to let the dress do the talking.
Rex FeaturesMaxi: For a promotional appearance, Alexa dialled into her girly side in a textured powder pink dress by Emilia Wickstead, which was quite the style departure for the Brit fashionsita.
PA PhotosMini: But tapping into her signature style just days later, Alexa proved that even the simplest of shift dresses can still be a quick route to style success.
PA PhotosMaxi: Megan Fox pulls no punches when it comes to the red carpet and never fails to wow. Keeping her look simple on the red carpet in this off-the-shoulder white maxi dress and black belt, this figure-skimming style was a real fashion statement from the sexy star.
PA PhotosMini: Indeed, Megan's red carpet go-to is usually something a little more daring, like this short and flirty Giorgio Armani dress.
Rex FeaturesMaxi: Kim Kardashian left us all quite stunned when she turned up to Elton John's annual Oscars bash in this simple and classic red gown. Of course, being Kim, it totally had a daring neckline, to boot.
Rex FeaturesMini: But proof that Kim's style has come on leaps and bounds since the days of those super-short, figure-hugging bandage dresses, Mrs. Kardashian-West stepped out in a high fashion and utterly gorgeous Balmain mini with added cape detailing. Between that plunging neckline and her BIG blow-dry she looked seriously smoking.
Rex FeaturesMaxi: Playing matchy matchy with her dress and her hair colour was a savvy fashion move and Lindsay Lohan totally pulled off this floor-length gown.
PA PhotosMini: Princess of the cocktail dress though, Lindsay never fails to get it spot on with a flirty mini dress and this cheeky purple bandeau dress by Dolce & Gabbana, is no exception.
PA PhotosMaxi: Picture perfect in a white column dress, Victoria Beckham of course wore one of her own creations for the biggest night in the fashion calendar when she attended the Met Gala in 2014.
Getty ImagesMini: But VB still loves a high hemline and Mrs Beckham put her best fashion foot forward at a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Event, wearing peep-toe leather boots, a gauzy top and super short mini.
PA PhotosMaxi: Taking a leaf out of her big sister Kim's style book, Kylie went for a stellar monochrome look in this cropped top and maxi skirt combo, which she expertly topped off with fierce heels.
Getty ImagesMini: But when higher hemlines do call, Kylie can hold her own in those style stakes as well and this tangerine creation is s glitzy departure from her usual, minimalist 90s-inspired style.
IndigitalMaxi: Kendall Jenner is no stranger to wearing some of the most gorgeous gowns, thanks to being a very in demand super model right now!
PA PhotosMini: But never failing to look like the pro model that she is off the runway as well, Kendall regularly opts for something tailored to show off her enviably long legs.
PA PhotosMaxi: For the opening of The Glamour of Italian Fashion exhibition at the Victoria & Albert museum in London in 2014, Poppy Delevingne struck a colourful cord in this floor-length Emilio Pucci creation.
Rex FeaturesMini: Nailing easy-breezy summer styling in a heartbeat with this delicately embroidered kaftan inspired dress, leather thong sandals and a gorgeous fringed saddle back, Poppy's clearly a dab hand at high hemlines as well.
Rex FeaturesMaxi: Taylor Swift's red carpet style - much like her off-duty one - always has a touch of retro glamour about it. This gorgeous red and nude Monique Lhuillier gown wouldn't have looked out of place on a young Grace Kelly or Elizabeth Taylor.
Rex FeaturesMini: But with long legs like Taylor's, it's no surprise to learn that she favours fun and flirty short hemlines for her off duty outfits like this 70s inspired corduroy skirt.
PA PhotosMaxi: Floor length and fabulous is practically Bey's middle name when it comes to making a sartorial splash on the red carpet.
PA PhotosMini: But Bey gets it oh-so-right when she plumps for daring thigh-skimmers, too.
PAMaxi: Emma Watson's impeccable sense of style takes some beating and this, frankly divine, Ralph Lauren Collection floor-length one-of-a-kind white silk cady column halter evening dress was a master class in the art of maxi dress styling.
PAMini: But when Emma wants to make a statement in a mini, she usually turns to Burberry or Chanel - as she did with this gorgeous tweed number.
PA PhotosMaxi: Managing to bring luxe bohemian elements to a floor-length gown, Kate Moss puts her razor sharp sense of style on everything she wears.
RexMini: Far from a one trick style pony though - this is Kate Moss, after all - Kate can do classic too and this cute LBD with black and white statement coat exuded bygone era glamour.
Rex FeaturesMaxi: Diane must have looked to Michelle Williams for inspiration when she chose this utterly fabulous and oh-so-delicate off-the-shoulder mustard gown by Jason Wu - punctuated with a hot red lip - to create instant awards season sartorial magic.
PA PhotosMini: Showing why the mini has reigned supreme for so many years, Diane Kruger steps out on the red carpet in a to-die-for Balmain LBD. Minimum fabric, maximum impact – this dress is an absolute show-stopper.
PA PhotosMaxi: Back when she was first starting out in 2009, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley gave us a master class in effortless maxi dress style thanks to this winning combo with gorgeous accessories and an embellished cropped jacket.
PA PhotosMini: Rosie looked her usual gorgeous self more recently though, in a plunging white Balmain dress and perfectly coiffed locks.
