Backless Crop Top Gowns

The Rihanna MET Gala Dress Reveals Skin in a Glamorously Sensual Way

The crop top has made quite the impact on the fashion industry these last few months and so it is only natural that the Rihanna MET Gala dress embraces it. Yet the provocative pop star has taken it to the next level by not only raising the crop to reveal much more of her torso (and a part of her winged tattoo just under her breasts), but also incorporating a backless feature as well.

Designed by Stella McCartney, the Rihanna MET Gala dress shows off her curves in a glamorously sensual way. The all-white design has full sleeves and sharp shoulder pads that brings even more attention to her caramel skin. The Rihanna MET Gala dress was finished with a sheer, bejeweled turtleneck, making jewelry unnecessary to complete the chic look.
