%%* Lili von Shtupp in ''Film/BlazingSaddles'', pointed out by Hedley.
* Marlene Dietrich, whom Lili von Shtupp parodied in ''Blazing Saddles'', shows her gams in almost ever movie of hers. ''Film/WitnessForTheProsecution'' had a special scene written just so Dietrich could show off her accordion. And her legs, of course.

%%* Creator/LauraDern as HotScientist Ellie Sattler in ''Film/JurassicPark''.

* Barok van Zieks's legs ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney'' are notorious enough that [[https://twitter.com/MetalAttacker/status/1122721573947895815 one of them showed up as a "character" on the second art book cover]]. It's not merely that they look great; it's that van Zieks has a tendency to ''axe-kick'' the prosecution's counsel table during trials for no apparent reason other than to show them off. Official art reveals that [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/aceattorney/images/5/56/Babey.png he picked it up from his older brother]].

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
** When Yang is introduced in the Yellow Trailer, the camera focus is on her legs as she brings her motorcycle to a stop and gets off. The camera then pans to behind her, producing an upshot of her legs and backside as she walks into the nightclub.
** When [[TheHeavy Cinder]] is first introduced, her face is hidden and the camera focusses mostly on her long, bare legs and the glass shoes she's wearing. All through the fight with Glynda, her legs are the most prominent part of her body. This isn't just fanservice, it's to hint that her character inspiration is ''Literature/{{Cinderella}}''. Throughout Volumes 2-3, and 7-8, her short dresses and catsuits ensure prominent focus on her legs whenever she is fighting, including camera shots [[BetweenMyLegs through her legs]] towards her opponents, such as during her battle with Amber.
* Even though [[http://www.wikifeet.com Wikifeet]] is a [[PeripheryDemographic foot fetish website]], it contains a lot leg shots of female celebrities.

* In the remastered version of ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'', Soren and Kyril meet two [[FanServiceWithASmile serving girls]] while securing lodging in a FantasyTavern. Soren notes that one of them is dressed in a long sarong that "accentuated her very fine legs".

-->''A small part of his brain was concentrating on not dropping the hot pot on his feet, because most of it was trying not to drool helplessly over the way Asuka's long, smooth legs disappeared up under the hem of the towel, mixed in with memories of last night that said sight triggered.''

-->''Shinji's deep blue eyes... Asuka's crystal blue ones... her long red hair... his sensitive hands... her long legs, his compassion, her fire, her heat...' ''

* In, ''Webcomic/UncommonAnimals'', Jennelle might be MsFanservice, but Terry's skirt has a slit up to her [[http://uncommonanimals.thecomicseries.com/comics/13 thigh]].
* ''WebComic/VampireCheerleaders'': You don't get to see Charlotte's legs very often, [[ShrinkingViolet because she's shy]] and dresses conservatively. But Ian Cang (the comic's artist, at that time) more than made up for it with [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/raiding_the_lita_collection the main panel, here]], which had the readers [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=12570 almost unanimously thanking him for it!]]

Often takes the form of a FeetFirstIntroduction that slowly pans up the legs in question. May also be seen in conjunction with a SexyWalk. ZettaiRyouiki, ShowgirlSkirt, short skirt, {{Underwear|OfPower}}[=/=]{{Leotard|OfPower}}s[=/=]{{Minidresses of Power}}, UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}}, and FootsieUnderTheTable are also good ways to show off these features. A KickChick will almost always have these, as will most female {{Dance Battler}}s. The StatuesqueStunner will also have these, more often than not. BathKick and FootPopping are used to show these off as well. If the AmazonianBeauty has them, expect either the narration, other characters, or the character design to emphasize her legs' muscularity as attractive, often with special attention to the thighs.

* ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'' has Ruby, a [[SourPrudes prudish]] {{nerd}} who manages to be very attractive without especially trying, and whose legs are especially emphasized by both the art and the writing. She's seen first in a short skirt (for reasons of plot), subsequently switches to a pair of designer jeans that attract the admiration of every straight male she passes, and has been known to flash some leg when taking a selfie in an uncharacteristic moment of vanity.

* From ''Music/JethroTull'', we have "One Night in Budapest", aka ode to a pair of legs:

* [[Creator/RosieHuntingtonWhiteley Carly]] in ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon''. The camera spends an inordinate amount of time focused on her legs as she walks up stairs, gets out of cars, and often just stands there while the action happens around her, all in the shortest possible skirts and highest possible heels.
