As most women know, there's a natural instinct to cross your legs when sitting down.Blake Lively and her mother Elaine defied requests to uncross their legs as they sat in the front row of the Michael Kors show at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday

However, when it comes to the coveted front row of a Fashion Week show, seasoned fashionistas know they need to get their legs firmly uncrossed for photographers.

But when Blake Lively attended the Michael Kors show at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday, she appeared to refuse photographers' requests to uncross her legs.

Attending the Kors show at the Spring Studios in TriBeCa with her mother Elaine, the former Gossip Girl star decided against placing her pins side-by-side for the 10 minute presentation

The company's chairman John D Idol went on to personally request Blake and other VIPs on the front row uncross their legs as the runway show began.

However, the 5ft 10in star appeared to ignore the plea and carried on crossing them, along with her mother Elaine and fellow actress Riley Keough, who she was sat beside.

Vogue US editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who has attended hundreds of shows over the years, is a seasoned pro at front row etiquette and kept her feet firmly on the ground.

The reason photographers request women uncross their legs is because the raised foot creates shadows on the floor, Beauty.

With some of the models walking only a few inches away from those on the front row, it's crucial for designers to have their new collection presented in the best light.www.tblook.com
