A hint of skin underneath crop tops and shorts was all the rage at this year's Oscars.

Zendaya showed off her midriff in a cropped silk menswear shirt and silver sequinned floor-length skirt by Valentino; Kristen Stewart opted for a cropped tuxedo with teeny shorts from Chanel; and West Side Story star and Best Supporting Actress winner Ariana De Bose wowed in a cropped Valentino corset with matching pants.

Here's how to emulate some cropped red carpet style of your own:

Make like Zendaya in this Lioness Gwyneth Crop Shirt, $75, from The Iconic. It's made from pure cotton poplin and has a natural stretch, making it super easy to wear. It has a collared neckline, a front hook fastening, and long sleeves.

If you're after a looser fitting cropped shirt, The Way-Short Shirt, $125 from Everlane is your answer. It's made from a high-twist, 100% cotton yarn, and has a silky feel. It has a collar, button-up front, and is perfect with high-waisted jeans or pants.

Get Ariana De Bose's look with this Ohganda V Neck Corset, $49.95, from Showpo. It's a cropped corset top with a deep V-neckline, and fixed straps. It has a stretchy shirred panel at the back so it's comfy, and boning on the bodice at the front.

If you're after a matching set, we love this Alexandra two-piece pant set, $109.95, also from Showpo. It includes a V-neck crop top that's fully lined and has a scoop at the back to show off some extra skin in a subtle way. The pants are high-rise, wide-legged and also fully lined. Because there are no pockets, you get a straight leg look. The whole set comes in a red-carpet-worthy satin finish.

Kristen paired her jacket with some tiny shorts to really make an impact. You can do the same with these High Rise Pintuck Faux Leather Short, $39.99, from Glassons. They have a flattering high-waisted fit, as well as pockets and a single pleat on each leg in the front.
