Known as “The Bardot Pose” and considered one of the sexiest poses BB ever struck, this picture taken by the actress in the early 60s half naked, wearing just a pair of black stockings, defines a sexy, glamorous style and has been inspirational for many. The iconic pose has been brought back by models and actresses, sometimes identical or delivered with new twists: bold and sensually-charged Rihanna, elegant Gisele who nonchalantly inverts the crossing of her legs.
