The crop top aka “stomach out” / “goove out” is back in the fashion world and most fashionistas have been seen wearing a version of it. Remember when the Abashante girls used to rock it and “comm’ ndance”? Or when Gwen Stefani used to grace us with her midriff during her No Doubt days? The crop top has come back to reprise it’s former glory but in a very classy way, old Hollywood glamour way. It is not driving into the fashion planet solo, it’s infamous partner is the high-waisted skirt or anything high-waisted. The aim is to show less skin but still bring the appeal, a classier look compared to the 90′s an era of was low-cut everything.
These are some of the stars that have been seen cropping it out.
Naya Rivera pre-Kim-kloning wore crop-top in all leather and with lost of skin. I like it although I think Ciara did the leather version justice at the BET’s. And that colour on those shoes is horrid.
Disney alumni Selena Gomez classed up her version opting for less skin around the midriff but more thigh & we all know black will sophisticate any outfit. She could have done with better hair pornstar ponytails aren’t cute.
Rihanna circa mallet went all white & served all kinds of sexy angel. I really hated that mallet phase but it’s Riri, conventional and her name don’t go hand in hand.
Gaga turned to Louis Vuitton for her look.I like sheer and beads combo. In true Lady Gaga fashion there had to be a few crazy things, the headpiece and the shoes. Well, she’ll do what she wants with her body….
Dare I say the queen of crop tops! I like how Kim made this t-shirt material crop-top look classy and very on trend. Say what you want about Kim, this girl know how to dress herself. For the record that excludes all the Kanye picked clothes.
Kelly Rowland’s take just confused me. I’m a die hard, Simply Deep RowlandStone but this right here was a little team too much. The top needed a much simpler skirt. That body though. BEREKA!
Between Nicole Richie & Giuliana Rancic I don’t know who needs a KFC fully loaded box meal more. These girls are walking stumbo sweets. However I do like Nic’s crop top take. Fresh but then again when Rihanna calls you a her own fashion icon you must be doing something right. Now she needs to do another thing right. EAT!
I’m convinced Beyonce is raiding Solange’s closet little by little & that’s all I have to say about this. PS if you wanna laugh watch the “drunk as fcuk” spoof on youtube. LIFE……GIVEN!
Actress Rooney Mara went demure with her look. I like how conservatively sexy it is.
Brown Suga was all sorts of bow down beeshes with her Thula Sindi number at JC Awards. The hair, the make up, the accessories, the abs BEREKA!
Mariah Carey proves that if your body is shaped like a tetris block you have no business wearing a crop top. I just wish Mariah would let go of her tacky style. It worked in the 90′s but she should have left it when she left Tommy Mottola
Just FYI this is the original showing of this Alexander McQueen piece and Mariah had to go and ghettofy it.
Kerry and Kelly made the crop top aka “stomach out” quite literal. I love how brave they are to be pregnant and go for this baring style. I have to say though I like how tasteful Kerry Washington’s look was. Not crazy about Kelly’s navel popping out but she did look great.
