The wind is a friend of fashion photography editorials, but as the following women know, it can also be a formidable foe. 1. Queen Maxima I was bending to capture a photo on the streets of Glasgow a few years ago and a photographer took an arms length snap of my bum while I was crouched, at close range. Before I realised what had happened he was making off down the street and I have never felt so angry or violated. This behaviour is NEVER acceptable. This social experiment video by Mic shows what happens when a woman 'man spreads' on a New York subway, compared with a man.

We just want to let Kate Middleton know that she isn’t the only one who has suffered a wind-related wardrobe malfunction. In fact, it’s happened to plenty of other high-profile celebrities, including one other royal. Eventually one subway rider asks the man to move his bag so she can sit down, but most ignored him. Demi Lovato has her skirt lifted while performing for Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series at Central Park in New York City on July 6, 2012 13. Lily Allen Paula Abdul had to deal with a windblown skirt, hair in her face, and the paparazzi as she made her way to The X Factor auditions. Chicago is the Windy City, but that makes no difference to Lindsay Lohan who had her skirt lifted up by the strong gusts of wind bouncing off the high-rise buildings in New York.

Here’s the wind laughing at Tanya Burr’s efforts to keep it together at the ‘Iron Man 3’ UK premiere. Katy Perry experiencing skirt uplift at ‘The Smurfs’ world premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City on July 24, 2011 3. Beyonce Demi Lovato‘s performance was so heartfelt, she didn’t feel anything else, including the wind that lifted her skirt.

Jennifer Aniston with a windblown skirt situation at the ‘We’re the Millers’ premiere held at the Odeon West End in London, England on August 14, 2013 5. Cameron Diaz Unsurprisingly people immediately noticed her posture, and responded by staring and filming her with their phones. While the lady with her legs spread attracted a lot of attention, no-one appeared to notice the man doing the very same thing. Illegal or not one thing is certain. Any man photographing nothing but young women and girls in public places has serious issues and is, in my opinion, a danger to women and girls. This predatory behaviour is deeply sexist and brings the genre of street photography and street photographers into disrepute.If the wind could talk, it would probably say that Katy Perry‘s super-short Smurfette dress was just asking for it. Kelly Brook at the Pandora Oxford Street store launch party in London, England on September 5, 2013 10. Paula Abdul Balconies and short dresses are never a good combination, as Penny Lancaster-Stewart has found out along with Paris Hilton and Kourtney Kardashian on this list. Megan Fox at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards held at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, California on August 9, 2009 7. Paris Hilton

To be fair to Cameron Diaz, she was also running in this scene she was filming for ‘Knight and Day’. Hard lesson learned for Kourtney Kardashian: no more twirling on windy hotel balconies where there are cameras everywhere on the lower floors!

The obnoxious posture is causing such an issue that the city of New York recently announced they would be starting an awareness campaign to warn people against 'man spreading'. Queen Maxima of the Netherlands at the conference “Be Social, Make Profit: Financing the Future of Developing Countries” as a member of the United Nations in the Peace Palace in Hague, the Netherlands on April 20, 2010 2. Katy Perry Victoria Justice exiting the Rebecca Minkoff fashion show held during New York Fashion Week in New York City on February 7, 2014 18. Kimberley Garner Manspreading' aka, sitting with your legs spread widely on public transport can be very irritating, particularly when it involves taking up other peoples personal space.
