Do the new crop

The all-new red carpet trend appears to have forgotten the statement floor length ball gowns and gone for something a little more retro and a lot shorter!

The new red carpet trend comes in the shape of the crop top and is proving to no longer be the gym bunnies’ go-to option for work out wear.

The bare midriff has gone formal and is now very much a statement piece that should be in every girl’s wardrobe!  Especially when it is both perfect for an evening on the tiles and can also double up as day wear, especially when teamed with a cute retro pair of trousers or skinnies.

The A-list seem to be fans of this statement trend and have recently been seen sporting an array of crop-top ensembles for 2011!

The singer Kelly Roland showed us demure and went for a cute lemon crop top, which she teamed with a knee length black skirt and killer skyscrapers!  Jennifer Lopez tried out this season’s crop-top style with a cute pair of shorts, a statement short tartan jacket and round toe platforms.  Rhianna followed suit and dressed up a prim and proper puff baby blue skirt with a metallic long sleeved cardigan.

Both Anne Hathaway and Georgia May Jagger kept the look simple and low-key and teamed tight jeans and high waisted palazzo pants with crop-tees and of course, killer platforms.

The actress Anne worked a really retro look and teamed spots with stripes!

This style is a must-have look that is perfect for an assortment of events, simply lose the bling jewellery and heels for a daytime look and over do them for an evening event!

Now girls, all we need to do before investing in this top trend is to get working on those crunches at the gym!  Personal trainers at the ready!!
