We recently told you about how Selena Gomez and Katy Perry both wore similar two-piece outfits at the Kids' Choice Awards. Turns out, it wasn't really a coincidence. The bra top is a trend for spring -- Miuccia Prada even sent it down her spring runway. And a writer for Elle is skittish about the look.
"Just as Miuccia and I were getting along, those tops threw me for a loop," says the Elle writer. "They were so…cropped...And Mrs. Prada wasn’t the only one daring us to bare -- some portion of the midriff was on display on the runways of Donna Karan, Nina Ricci, Proenza Schouler, and Jason Wu, too."

Dare we say it, these new bra tops (meant to be worn in lieu of an actual shirt) are somewhat tasteful -- if you have flat, six-pack abs. But the Elle writer still finds the notion of exposing her midriff "universally terrifying." The look is the latest incarnation of the belly-baring top, kicked off by "I Dream of Jeannie," perfected by the Madonna in the '80s and popular all over again in the '90s (baby tees).
But this season's crop top is paired with "high-waisted skirts, ladylike cardigans, and dainty shorts," according to Elle, making them "downright classy." Do you think real women should wear "bra tops" ... in public?
