When it comes to achieving divine leg status, half the battle is knowing your leg shape. Choose the description that fits, then follow the stars' lead and stand tall (whatever your inside leg)

• Legs to heaven
• Curvy calves
• Uptown legs
• Pocket diva legs
• The thigh's the limit
• Firm and fabulous legs

You have: Naturally super-long legs
Celeb leg mates: Cameron Diaz, Uma Thurman, Nicole Kidman
Their secret: Make the most of your assets
For evening glamour, Cameron loves micro minis and sweater dresses, Nicole favours column dresses slashed to the thigh, while Uma does sheer with floaty chiffons that reveal a sexy outline of leg. The key with all three is to enjoy your height - don't slouch, wear flats or trousers. Make us all jealous!
Your mission: For your next big event, make your legs the focus and choose a dress that shows them off. Treat yourself to a pedicure and finish the look with sky-high sandals.

Curvy calves

You have: Shapely legs with curves
Celeb leg mates: Kate Winslet, Kelly Brook, Emma Bunton
Their secrets: It's better to have curvy legs that look feminine and sexy
Stick-thin legs aren't everything. You certainly won't catch these ladies covering up with trousers on the red carpet. Kate has height as well as curves, so she goes for corset dresses with pencil skirts to hug her hips and thighs. Emma loves the 60s mini dress look, teaming it with boots to balance her calves and thighs. And who could forget that pink Julien MacDonald dress that showed off every inch of Kelly's flawless legs.
Your mission: Don't hide curvier legs away. Prepare your pins by shaving, followed by a layer of silky body lotion. Then go for clingy fabrics like jersey and satin that hug the legs, and walk tall - you'll look fabulous

Uptown legs

You have: Perfectly proportioned legs
Celeb leg mates: Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston, Melanie Sykes
Their secrets:Knee-skimming designs in luxe fabrics
Try to hit the knee dead on - it means you see the entire calf beneath - any longer and you'll 'broaden' your leg. Heavy, fluid fabrics in creams and caramels have become Melanie Sykes' trademark - they'd look decidedly ordinary if her legs weren't smooth and gleaming. Jennifer Aniston also goes super-sophisticated in knee-length column dresses and ribbon-tie shoes - Manolos of course
Your mission: With clever dressing, you can let your clothes do the talking for you - provided that your legs look smooth and toned with regular exfoliation, shaving and moisturising.

Pocket diva legs

You have: Short legs and a petite frame
Celeb leg mates: Kylie Minogue, Rachel Stevens, Billie Piper
Their secrets: The mini skirt is a wardrobe staple
It gives a great sense of proportion to a small frame and also looks fab with heels - which these girls also use to give them a height advantage. Who hasn't seen Billie with her trademark ripped denim mini, or Kylie without a thigh-skimming Julien Macdonald number? (A word of warning: don't copy Kylie's gold hot pants look unless your legs are seriously toned.) For smaller girls, if you want to go for long skirts, keep fabrics light - like floaty chiffons - or you'll look swamped.
Your mission: Experiment with minis - the length counts. Just below the bum and you should keep the look casual with boots or coloured flats: a little longer and you move into high-heel territory, and just above the knee go for sandals to glam things up.

The thigh's the limit

You have: The strong, supple legs only exercise can give.
Your celeb leg mates: Madonna, Anna Kournikova, Gwyneth Paltrow
Their secrets: Athletic-looking legs give you the choice of just about any outfit in the world
Sporty muscles don't have to look bulky - as these girls prove. Gwyneth's favourite informal look is an old mini skirt and sweater, while Madonna's cropped jeans and heels are a great way of showing off your legs and still looking casual. Anna Kournikova often goes for classic black to keep her legs in the limelight - a good tip for making your legs the star attraction.
Your mission: Book a session with a personal trainer. He or she will assess your fitness levels and set you on track for a leg-baring summer.

Firm and fabulous legs

You have: Powerful, yet luscious legs
Celeb leg mates: Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Kelis
Their secrets: One thing all these women have in spades is confidence - you'll never have show-stopping legs without it
Apart from that, dancing is one of the best leg toning exercises ever, which works for these stars. If you have voluptuous thighs, go for minis that finish exactly halfway between your hips and knees - and look for skirts that taper inwards rather than falling straight. And unless you've got thighs of steel, don't choose clingy fabrics like silk or jersey - go for leather, cotton or cord to flatter your figure.
Your mission: Hit the dance floor - or an aerobics class - regularly to firm those thighs, and use a firming body lotion to keep your skin looking fabulous.
