Thanks (or no thanks) to Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, crop tops, open-front dresses, and belly-baring dresses are back. On the Hollywood celebrity front, Kim Kardashian is arguably the biggest fan of this trend.
Although Kim has gotten her famous curves back now, the crop-top dress style helped a lot in giving her a curvier silhouette while working hard to slim down her post-baby body.

Want more inspiration? Here are healthy body image role models Jennifer Lawrence and Khloé Kardashian looking smoking hot, all covered up in slashed-at-the-waist dresses.
As for Kerry Washington, she was all like, “Oh, don’t mind me, I’m just pregnant” in her Prada ensemble at the 2014 SAG Awards. How’s that for flaunting a baby bump?

Miley Cyrus showed off her Pilates-toned tummy in this Emilio Spring 2012 beaded top and skirt when she accompanied her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, to The Hunger Games premiere.
She very nearly stole the limelight from the movie’s actual stars in this body-baring ensemble; it’s a good thing Jennifer Lawrence can hold her own:

Then, it was Selena Gomez’s turn to flaunt her flat midsection.
She did it with this Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2012 jacquard crop top and crystallized skirt outfit paired with Cesare Paciotti pink and orange studded pumps, which she wore to last Saturday’s 2012 Kids’ Choice Awards:

Having these two top-tier young Hollywood stars wear belly-baring dresses is enough to seal its “hot trend” status. It’s time to work out those abs, ladies- this is one unforgiving trend.
