There’s a reason ZZ Top didn’t write a song called “Elbows” or “Ankles.” It’s the legs that can make woman look truly sexy. Have a look at the celebs who have sported the hottest celeb legs of the summer.
25. Analeigh Tipton
This “Crazy, Stupid, Love” star draws on her modeling background to show off her slender legs for the paparazzi.
24. Britney Spears
Britney Spears’s body has gone through quite a change in the last few years, but it’s good to see her legs looking attractively muscular for her current tour.
23. Karina Smirnoff
Given that Karina Smirnoff’s day job is, working out, it only stands to reason that this “Dancing With the Stars” pro sports terrific, toned legs.
22. Katie Cassidy
Actress Katie Cassidy’s slender legs nicely complement her willowy body this summer… and any other time of the year, really.
21. Adriana Lima
In reality, Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima is not a giantess, but you’d be forgiven for thinking she was if you saw how impossibly long her legs look in this photo.
20. Taylor Swift
With Taylor Swift, that whole Disney princess look really goes from head to toe — from blond damsel curls to the kind of legs that one uses to dance in forests. Taylor Swift, stop it.
19. Halle Berry
Her body always looks beautiful, but in this photo, she’s making maximum use of the slit in her skirt to show off her perfectly shapely legs.
18. Ciara
Nothing showcases a beautiful body quite like a bikini does, and Ciara’s legs steal the show during this day at the beach.
17. Maria Sharapova
All those actresses and models who are hitting the gym to get their legs in tip-top shape should take some notes from tennis star Maria Sharapova. Her legs look so good that perhaps everyone else should be hitting the tennis courts instead.
16. Nicole Scherzinger
Her primary job is as a singer, but that’s never stopped Nicole Scherzinger from rocking a dancer’s body. Clearly, her time on “Dancing With the Stars” helped her get toned and stay toned.
15. Jennifer Aniston
She tends toward grays, blacks and beiges on the red carpet, but these muted color schemes just help Jennifer Aniston’s legs pop even more.
14. Eva Longoria
It’s harder for a smaller-statured gal to wow with her legs, but Eva Longoria isn’t letting her 5-foot-2-inch height prevent her from having drop-dead sexy stems.
13. Stacy Keibler
With a statuesque body like this one, it’s no wonder that WWE star Stacy Keibler is the woman who George Clooney reportedly has his eyes on. Heck, we can’t take our eyes off her.
12. Bar Refaeli
Bar Refaeli is putting her best foot forward — and that foot just happens to be attached to a beautiful leg that’s being showcased nicely by the high slit in her dress.
11. Beyonce
Unlike some in Hollywood, Beyonce doesn’t have skinny toothpick legs. She has something better: gorgeous, womanly gams that perfectly complement the rest of her [body part]-licious self.
In a dress like this one, it’s a red curtain grand opening, and Rosie Huntington-Whitely’s sexy leg is the star.
When your legs appear to be roughly 50 percent of your entire body, just make like Gisele Bundchen and show them off as much as possible. It would be a challenge to not look like a movie star.
8. Kerry Washington
Obviously, Kerry Washington is dressing to show off her legs, because this dress covers up everything else. But with legs like these, she doesn’t need to show off a single other body part to get noticed.
7. Alessandra Ambrosio
What do they put in the water at the Victoria’s Secret model academy that makes these women’s legs stretch to such tremendous lengths? And why did Alessandra Ambrosio get a double dose?
Her legs may not be the part of her body for which she’s most famous, but that didn’t stop Jennifer Lopez from becoming the spokesperson for Gillette’s Venus razor. But now that we bring up the subject, J.Lo’s legs do look downright goddess-like.
5. Blake Lively
Honestly, there’s a lot to enjoy about Blake Lively’s body. But in this particular photo, the parts we can see best happen to be her legs, so let’s focus on them, OK?
4. Rihanna
Are you a celebrity? Do you want the world to take more notice of your legs? Then make like Rihanna and steer clear of pants altogether.
3. Miranda Kerr
Her legs are just one of the marvels of her impossibly tight post-baby body.
Carrie Underwood may be a major country star, but great legs like these (and her overall good looks) cross genre categories.
1. Cameron Diaz
We’re going on the record with this one: Cameron Diaz has some of the best legs in the business. She may even have the best. And for this summer, at least, we’re giving her top honors. Way to get a leg up, Cam.
