How To Rock The Midriff Trend, According To Julia Fox And Other Celebrities
Feel the wind on your skin.
Midriff fever is taking over the Internet. Fans across social media relish celebrities rocking the bare style – Julia Fox and Zendaya being the crowd's favourites.
While the world was captivated by all the sensational looks worn by Fox during her brief tryst with Kanye West, it seems like she has officially hit her style stride. The super cropped tops and form-fitting bottoms have garnered her thousands of likes – from 60,000 to over 100,000 – per post.
Of course, style is multifaceted. Zendaya loves putting an elegant spin on the midriff trend and many of her red carpet looks feature cutouts at the waist or a cropped top accompanied by a billowing skirt.

Many other celebrities are joining in on the action and spoiling us with enough style inspiration to make the trend truly ours. Below, we curated a handful of star-studded Instagram posts that showcase eight different approaches to midriff fashion. Time to get shopping.
This look might be too minimalist for some people's liking but accessorising is the key to making it next level. Matching patent leather boots, oversized gloves up to the elbows and a cult-classic bag definitely up the ante.
Lily James' fit is sparkly and dramatic but a statement look need not be flashy. Go big with a crop top that features puffy sleeves as the main attraction. Finish the look with low-rise wide-legged trousers plus some gold jewellery and you’re ready for a fun night out.
Have a big event coming up? Channel Bridgerton's Simone Ashley and add some sass to your ensemble — ditch the boring black gown and go for an asymmetrical one instead. The braid detail at the bottom of the dress adds texture and a three-dimensional element to make the look pop.
Our March cover star Emma Chamberlain is a bona fide style icon — even her causal numbers are worth emulating. A graphic knit top, a pair of shorts and soft shearling slippers are must-haves for comfortable dressing.
Sequins teeter between trashy and gorgeous – Zendaya's glimmering 2022 Oscar look was, hands down, the latter. Let the sequin skirt work its magic and go with accessories that complement the outfit.
Paloma’s ensemble was graphic and bold but the hero was the subtle chain belt. Although the model steered away from necklaces and rings, the chain around her bare skin was the only piecé de resistance needed to nail the look.
There are no rules stating that a midriff has to be horizontal. Normani’s laced-up top and high-waisted miniskirt had many fans in awe and she even received praise from fellow musician Megan Thee Stallion in the comments on her Instagram.
It is your body and it is also your choice on how much of it you want to bare. Take actress Lana Condor, for example. She donned a bright green Prabal Gurung dress that exposed only a sliver of her midriff.
