Those look like they're shot with a wide angle - they don't really look that stretched in post.

But it doesn't look like an ultra-wide - so probably just a regular 17mm (on a crop body) or like 24mm on a FF.

Portraits aren't usually done at that focal length because the distortion usually makes the face look weird - but if it's long legs you really want, then go for it.
