Oh, crop tops! As one of the season’s biggest fashion staples, we’ve seen the crop top make appearances at music festivals, park hangs and red carpets galore. While some leading ladies find continual crop top success (Miley should get an award) others save the style for statement-making moments. Yesterday Amber Heard and Rooney Mara took their turns at the trend and both actresses sported spot-on crop top ensembles.

Rooney Mara opted for the bold look at a screening of Ain’t Them Bodies Saints in New York City. The risk factor was low for Mara, whose perfectly toned midriff was subtly displayed through the simple Calvin Klein ensemble. Mara kept her navy blue long sleeved crop top balanced with an equally dark minimalist pencil skirt. The outfit was topped off with a pair of Brian Atwood sandals in a matching shade of black. Mara pinned half her hair up and left the other half wavy, showing off its new longer length. Minimal eye make-up, bronzer and bold brows had Mara looking radiant. We like to think she topped off her look with a spray of her favourite Calvin Klein perfume.

Despite a memo from CBS warning stars to cover up, there was still much skin to be seen on the 2013 Grammy Awards red carpet. Most notable was Katy Perry, who stunned in a mint-green Gucci Resort 2013 dress that was skin-tight and featured an embellished keyhole detail which showed off her ample cleavage. Perry’s look was part Priscilla Presley, part Lana Del Rey and she certainly pulled off the ’70s-inspired style well.

Solange Knowles also wore green, though her beaded Ralph & Russo Couture gown was more of a vibrant emerald hue. Solange is known for her quirky and colourful outfits and her neon-pink Louboutins added personality to her look. Solange’s dress featured a thigh-high slit—a style that was seen on a number of starts last night at the 2013 Grammys. (Clearly Angie’s right leg is still dictating red carpet trends!) Jennifer Lopez took the slit to the next level with an Anthony Vaccarello Spring 2013 gown that seemed to almost tuck in like a pair of hot pants at the top of her thigh. The asymmetrical draped black silk gown certainly showed off her toned body and was set off with shiny gold accessories—and a matching pointy gold manicure.

Black and white was definitely a trend at the 2013 Grammys, as it was for the Golden Globes and SAG Awards red carpet. Beyoncé wore both black and white in an architectural jumpsuit by Osman. The somewhat casual-yet-still-smoking look was certainly one of a kind on the red carpet and Beyoncé accessorized with black and white cuffs and a red pout. Our former cover girl Carly Rae Jepsen wowed in a dark, metallic Roberto Cavalli gown. The mermaid silhouette looked amazing with her dark hair, porcelain skin and enviable body. Carrie Underwood also wore a black strapless mermaid silhouette gown by Roberto Cavalli—though where Jepsen’s was beaded, Underwood’s dress featured lace and embroidery.
