Are your ready to wear thigh-high boots?

In a shoot titled ‘Emmanuelle’ – assumedly after the classic French erotic film – Masha Novoselova stars in the October 2009 issue of Vogue Spain. The shoot has a definite 1970s feel to it: with sunlit scenes and a soft focused lens. In several shots, Masha poses in Louis Vuitton’s thigh high boots; but for the most part, it’s lingerie and nudity for the gorgeous Masha.

Sticking to a theme of bright red and black against a stark background, this shoot marries frilly dresses and coats with the thigh high boots trend.

From celebrities to magazine editorials, the over the knee boots trend is just about everywhere at the moment. It isn’t the first time this pair was spotted on Louise Ebel during Paris Fashion Week, and we love both of her interpretations of the trend.

Effortlessly chic as always, Vogue Paris Fashion Director Emmanuelle Alt pairs black suede over the knee boots with black tights and shorts, and a studded leather jacket.

When it comes to Street Style, Paris is full of gems. Blogger Pandora brings us this outfit of over-the-knee boots and a leather skirt.

She credited Tom Ford with pushing her to adopt her trademark dark-eye make-up, but it was for her lace up over the knee boots that Carine Roitfeld caught our eye.

Attending the Vivienne Westwood Spring 2010 catwalk at Paris Fashion Week, Rihanna was on top of another big 2010 fashion trend: over the knee boots.

Over the knee boots made more than one appearance at Milan Fashion Week. TrendyCrew spotted this look, with the boots scrunched down, outside the Gucci Spring 2010 catwalk.

Still not convinced that over the knee boots can succeed as an easy and effortless day-time look? Blogger Caroline may change your mind. She works the boots-over-skinny-jeans look in the simplest of ways, pairing them with a white tank and black leather biker jacket.

With thigh high boots, capes, and skin-tight leathers as major fashion trends, who can blame French Revue de Mode for taking Batman on as an unlikely style icon? Starring beside Ali Stephens in a shoot titled The Dark Knight, Batman looks a little short and unimpressive next to the towering Stephens, but we like the concept none the less.

As well as sporting big Wonder Woman-esque hair, Stephens’ makeup is, on close inspection, a subtle and clever play on the super-hero eyemask.

Pairing with mini-skirt from Acne, a boyfriend blazer from Zara, and an oversized top from Complex Geometries has done these black TopShop over the knee boots a world of justice.

This street style look was spotted on the streets of Paris during Paris Fashion Week by Stockholm Street Style, and was worn by Hanneli Mustaparta.

Her editorials have been amongst the strongest of 2009, and, as such, the influence of model Anja Rubik has risen to stratospheric heights across the year. That’s resulted in many a booking for the model, though its her collaboration with label Quazi that ought to be receiving the attention right now. Focused on shoes and accessories, the little know collaboration has its finger on the pulse courtesy of studded heels and thigh high boots.

Heavy leather outfits and sexed-up thigh-high boots belie the lush and sunlit backdrop of this Numero magazine editorial. Eniko Mihalik stars as the bewitching protagonist of the shoot.

Every magazine right now is loving an excuse to work Prada’s thigh high fishing waders into an editorial. So much was the case for Vogue China that they just decided to do an entirely fishing themed shoot for their October 2009 issue. At least it adds some cute practicality to the otherwise inefficacious style of luxury footwear.

If you’re after inspiration for the over the knee and thigh high boots trend then you can’t overlook Behati Prinsloo’s editorial in Flair magazine. Shot on Santa Monica’s iconic beach, it provides more interpretations of one of the key fashion trends for 2010 than most; right from the impossibly high to the outrageously pink. But don’t worry, there are plenty of subtle boots too.

Though very much NSFW – including full frontal nudity – this shoot of Dree Hemingway is actually one of the tamer ones to feature in Issue 12 of Purple magazine. You may recall some intriguing fetish action happening in Paola Kudacki’s beauty shoot; and there are many other shoots that push the nudity trend in new directions in the issue. In this one, Hemingway pulls some great poses in nothing but a pair of Rodarte thigh high boots.
