The look – dubbed the 'sidevag' on the Internet – was memorably flaunted by Bella Hadid in a high-cut red dress at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

The 19-year-old beauty stole the show in an Alexandre Vauthier gown which showed off every inch of her phenomenal frame while blatantly pointing to her choice to forgo underwear.

Her lithesome legs and slender torso were perfect for the daring look, which caused heads to spin and sent social media into a meltdown.

Italian models Giulia Salemi and Dayane Mello ripped up the rule book when they chose to rock the high-cut crotch at the usually-demure Venice Film Festival in September.

Onlookers could barely take their eyes off Ms Mello, who opted for a bright pink version of the design, which was strapless with puff-ball sleeves.

Ms Salemi was slightly more modest, with a plunging neckline and parachute-style tail.

The models left onlookers speechless with the jaw-dropping display at Palazzo del Casino where the premiere was held.

Other style icons to take on the high-cut crotch include Kendall Jenner – who rocked it at the MMVA awards in Toronto in 2014  – and her big sister Kim Kardashian, on a recent outing in New York.

Stylist Naomi Isted has previously told Mail Online about the need for caution when opting to go for the high-cut crotch.

'There's a trend this year for everyone to wear sheer dresses with bodysuits underneath and this is an extreme extension of that,' she said.

'It's not a realistic thing for the public to wear. It's quite a dangerous look as it could go horribly wrong.

'If there's no underwear it's a potential fashion catastrophe.'
