Bianca Jagger was ahead of her time. 

When the former actress married music legend Mick Jagger in 1971, she rocked a white Yves Saint Laurent tuxedo (with no shirt underneath, gasp!) and a long bias-cut silk skirt. 

She accessorized the fearless look with an oversize hat. 

The '70s are currently having a moment in bridal. Designers like Theia, Cushnie and Anne Barge included jumpsuits, over-the-knee hems and hippie details in their 2020 runway shows. Structured blazers and pantsuits emulating Bianca's look were also present.

Why not bring some bohemian glamour to your special day?

Angelina Jolie attended the Academy Awards in 2012 wearing a black Versace dress featuring a thigh-high slit.

Poking out from the opening of the gown was her slender right leg. The image went viral and her 'Right Leg Oscar look' set the leg-thrusting trend in motion.

Cushnie, Viktor & Rolf, Reem Acra and Galvan all included very high slits in their collections.

The sexy silhouette is elegant and much easier to move around in than a ball gown with a dramatic and voluminous skirt.
