You are never an A-list celebrity unless your face is on a pair of leggings.

And Benedict Cumberbatch is the latest hunk from tinsel town to join the leggings hall of fame, following Ryan Gosling, James Franco, Channing Tatum, Zach Galifianakis and even Bill Murray.

The Sherlock actor may have struck a blow in the hearts of a long legion of female fans when he announced his engagement to fiancée Sophie hunter, but “Cumberbitches” can now take comfort in the fact that an Los Angeles based clothes label have come up with an alternative – in the form of leggings covered in little pictures of the British actor’s face.

Quirky womenswear label Poprageous asks “Cumberbitches to unite” through leggings and crop tops, despite the fact that the man himself hates the term saying, “has this not set feminism back a little bit?”

The “Cumberbitch” leggings even come with a matching crop top.

The co-ordinated combo costs $125 (£85) and is available from Poprageous.
