Ciara Has Worn Crop Tops for Over a Decade
Photo: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images
In the more than ten years that it’s taken us to perfect our “1, 2 Step,” Ciara has become a red-carpet staple: She’s worn everything from Valentino gowns to Lanvin leather coats, but never forsakes her go to crop top. Through the years, she’s held onto her signature tomboyish charm — still sharp, be it in shorts, or at Fashion Week, or in a denim button-down and a slouchy coat. Click through our slideshow for a look back on a decade of Ciara’s best outfits: bedazzled cargo pants, Calvin Klein suits, and, always, plenty of six-pack.
