Know Your Memes: Angelina Jolie’s Leg
On February 26th, 2012, Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie arrived at the 84th Academy Awards’ red carpet ceremony in a strapless black Versace dress with a split revealing her leg. Being one of the most well-known celebrity runway events of the year, Jolie’s red carpet entrance became a much talked-about topic during and after the awards ceremony.
Pn Tumblr, people began uploading various photoshopped images of Jolie’s leg-revealing pose, some featuring more than one pair of legs and perfectly symmetrical stance. The symmetrically photoshopped version was posted by Tumblr blogger OldGhost and received over 18,000 notes within the first 24 hours. The image jokes were soon picked up by a number of celebrity blogs like Gawker, ROFLrazzi and Entertainment Weekly among others.
