Is there really anything more scandalous than a mesh belly shirt? The 1980s sure didn't think so. Madonna created a public stir when she released the video for "Lucky Star" in 1983, which highlighted her in a black mesh crop top. Her young teenage fans flocked stores in search of this hip midriff, while mothers and fathers alike banned this body bearing clothing item.
Sooo scandalous, eh?
After the initial shock of young girls running around showing their bellybuttons, the crop top became a huge hit in the 90s. Starlets like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilara donned the crop top on almost every stage they performed on, and their teeny bopper fans were soon to follow.
Nowadays people have figured out how to make baring your belly a little less sleazy. Lose the low-rise pants and the sparkly leather and you've got yourself a fresh, classy, and fun look.
Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Gwyneth Paltrow demonstrate that this look can even work for the red carpet.
