While we understand that not everyone is into the crop top, we think it’s time to embrace the trend hardcore this year. That’s right, we are starting a revolution this summer to Free the Belly Button. Okay, maybe not that serious, but you get the idea. Embrace your naval this summer by checking out our picks for must-have crop tops this season.

1. Style Stalker Paradise Crop Top ($119): Easily one of our favorite pieces, this crop top resembles a beautiful painting with its abstract watercolor design. We can totally see this top being paired with a circle skirt or culottes. Très chic!

2. Truly Madly Deeply Color Block Cropped Tank Top ($20): Add a sporty vibe with this color block crop top. And why not bring the ’70s back by pairing it with some flare jeans and converse shoes?

3. Jennifer Kate Carved Out Leather Crop Top ($285): Sexy, yet still modest, this crop top is the way to go when you are looking to add a structural piece to any outfit. With its sheer material, you can easily show some skin without being too flashy.

4. Rebel Rouser Suede Fringe Top ($128): Get your fringe on with this total babe of a top. Put it over some jean shorts, and then cover your arms with dangly bracelets for some summer-festival fun.

5. Topshop Floral Print Cold Shoulder Top ($65): Why not bare your shoulders and your belly? You can either pattern play with other pieces or let it be a stand-alone statement. Either way, this top is gorgeous.

6. Audrey Stretch Cotton Crop Top ($195): Dive into stylish paradise with this crop top. Those bold-colored birds will definitely help you stand out from the rest of the crowd.

7. Tansy Bra Top with Cutout Back ($99): If you are the daring type, then add this bralette crop top to your closet. With its unique straps and bottom, this top can be paired with nearly anything and everything. And isn’t that the point?

8. Long Sleeve Crop Top ($28): Let this crop top be a staple in your wardrobe. It’s easy to mix and match with different patterns, and is still unique enough with its own mix of stripes. We’ll take a few of these, please.

9. Cutout Front Crop Top ($15): While this top isn’t bold in pattern, it is edgy enough with its open detail in the front. Layer it with a lightweight jacket and add some platforms for an extra punch.

10. Boxy Cropped Shirt ($13): If you still want the short style, but don’t want your belly button to come out to play, then buy this collared top from Forever21. We recommend wearing a high-waisted skirt and some adorable flats to get that Zooey Deschanel look.

11. Contrast-Trimmed Cropped Top ($16): This plus-size number is super sophisticated with its white trim and blue finish. Double it up with the matching skirt and add minimal jewelry for a fabulous date night ensemble.

12. Gingham Cropped Tee ($50): Get gingham in your life with this crop top. It’s wide enough to cover your belly, but light enough to play in the sun. A win-win for everyone.

13. Crazy Little Thing Tank ($88): Lace is never a bad idea, especially if it looks like this crop top. Pair it with a white strappy bra and a pair of jeans for a complete boho look.

14. White Pepper Dinosaur Cropped Button-Down Shirt ($75): Let these dinosaurs roam around with this adorable top. Match it with a pastel skirt and some super cute platforms to get your dino game on.

15. Alice & UO Betty Cropped Shirt ($49): The round collar and up-front tie is a fave for summer. You won’t want to take this top off for the rest of the season, and neither would we.

16. Vintage Victorian Lace Top ($298): We found a vintage goldmine here. This sleeveless blouse has a delicate gold lace bib and a baby tie in the front. We wouldn’t mind splurging on this one as a special treat to ourselves.

17. Pink Crop Top ($40): Bold and bright is exactly what you need in a crop top. This flirty number is on point with its round collar and edgy design.

18. Lowell Cropped Printed Stretch Scuba Jersey Top ($159): Don’t be afraid to fall in love with this crop top. Whether you are heading to the beach or to the movies, you can take it with you wherever you go.

19. CURVE Skater Dress With Embellished Crop Top ($81): Be stylishly delicate with this beautiful beaded top. We love that this dress gives the illusion of a crop top without any commitment.

20. Top With Open Back & High Neck ($24): Covered in the front and open in the back, this top is meant for the minimalistic dresser. And just because it’s bold and white doesn’t mean it has to be boring, amiright?

21. Oasis Co Ord Lime Printed Crop Top ($54): Need some limes in your coconuts? This top is so cute that we can’t wait to wear it all summer long. We’ll even pair it with a margarita for some extra citrus lovin’.

22. Short Sleeve Crop Top ($990): If Taylor Swift can rock this J. Mendel top at the ACM Awards, why can’t you? The price may be a little steep, but a girl can’t dream…

23. Cutout Detail Crop Top Taupe ($44): If you’re thinking about your next outfit to rock at a concert, then this laser-cut crop top is yours for the taking. Wrap yourself in a sleeveless fringe vest and a boho hat for a night you won’t forget.

“Protective” Peter Gallagher Is “So Grateful” Mischa Barton Survived “Toxic Fame”

No matter what kind of day you're having, Marissa Cooper's having a worse one. Mischa Barton's The O.C. character went through the ringer during the first three seasons of the teen drama (remember how she overdosed in Tijuana...and also saw her parents post-hookup after their divorce?).

And during her time on The O.C., Mischa Barton struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. She was arrested for a DUI in 2007 and eventually received involuntary psychiatric hospitalization in 2009 after allegedly threatening to end her own life. And in a new interview, Peter Gallagher (who played Sandy Cohen on the show) says he's "just so grateful" for "the fact that she’s still alive."

  • Mischa Barton starred alongside Peter Gallagher in The O.C. from 2003-2006.
  • The actress has revealed the "trauma" of being a star at that point in her life.
  • Peter recently opened up about how he's thankful "she’s still alive."

The O.C. follows Ryan Atwood, who moves in with the Cohens after getting kicked out of his mom's house, and starts a relationship with Marissa shortly after. While Peter Gallagher played Adam Brody's TV dad instead of Mischa's, Sandy was a definitely father figure for Marissa, and it seems like Peter felt that same responsibility off camera.

"I’ve always felt very protective of her," Peter told The Independent. "First fame is toxic. First fame can kill you. She was 16 years old when she started working with us, so just the fact that she’s still alive, I’m just so grateful."

“You can go to therapy every day for the rest of your life,” Mischa said in a 2023 interview with The Sunday Times. “There’s just a certain amount of trauma [from] all that I went through, particularly in my early twenties, that just doesn’t go away overnight.”

Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage revealed that season 1 overdose not only served as a cliffhanger, but gave “network executives an escape hatch on a performer they had been wary about” (via People). But Mischa Barton got her big break, becoming "how people knew the show," and (thankfully) Marissa recovered — only to die after a car crash in season 3.

As hard as that season 3 ending is to watch, Mischa did have the opportunity to watch it with Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke for the first time on their rewatch podcast. "It needed to be a thing, after everything she's been through, but if it's here I'll watch it with you," Mischa says.

"I couldn't do it, Mischa, I couldn't do it," Rachel adds. "But I'm going to do it if you're going to do it."

Mischa says even though being written off the show "was a little bit of a bummer," it wasn't necessarily a surprise. "The character was just doing too much," she told Vanity Fairin 2023. "And I think they ran out of places for her to go. It was not the best thing in the world, [but] there wasn’t much you could do at that point. It was whether she could sail off into the sunset, or die. At that point, I guess it’s better to have the more dramatic ending.”

See Dylan Sprouse & Barbara Palvin's Dreamy Halloween Costume: "My Forever"

Former Disney Channel star Dylan Sprouse and model Barbara Palvin are certainly living the sweet life after tying the knot in Palvin's native Hungary. The couple, who have been together for nearly five years, have always been pretty low-key — except for the occasional and undeniably adorable Instagram post (and a stunning wedding!). We are simply ~obsessed~ with this celebrity couple, especially after they pulled out all the stops for their couple's Halloween costume. Keep scrolling to see some of their best moments :').

A post shared by Barbara Palvin (@realbarbarapalvin)

For Halloween Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin stunned as the Phantom and Christine from Phantom of the Opera. Dylan wore a mask and a black cape, while Barbara wore a beautiful white dress. While the costume is obviously a nod to the musical, it also totally reminds us of their day as bride and groom.

"In Sleep He Sang to Me," Barbara said in a post, quoting the musical's titular number. "@dylansprouse my forever Phantom."

Who did Dylan Sprouse marry?

On the couple's wedding day (July 15, 2023), Barbara wore a Vivienne Westwood wedding gown to celebrate her Hungarian nuptials, bringing together their nearest and dearest for an intimate(-ish) celebration. Barbara and Dylan tied the knot on her parent's property, which conveniently doubles as an event venue, with plans to host an larger wedding in California in the fall.

"This past weekend was supposed to be an intimate event, but we ended up having 115 guests in the end because there are a lot of people we care about, and we wanted them all to be there," Barbara told Vogue.

When did Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin get engaged?

Barbara Palvin on Instagram: "♥️"

After months of speculation surrounding the couple's engagement, Dylan and Barbara confirmed their engagement in conversation with Sprouse's twin brother, actor Cole Sprouse, for V Magazine in June, sharing that they got engaged last September.

"We didn't necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public about that aspect of our engagement," Dylan said. "What we wanted to do with Stephen [Gan, V editor-in-chief] and the V team is make something that was kind of tongue-in-cheek about the nature of private versus public. We're playing with the idea of perception."

Barbara noted that the lovebirds wanted to announce the news "on our time," adding, "When some people leaked the information that we got engaged, our PR team was like, 'Hey, so you guys should do maybe a post about it or talk to this magazine or talk to that magazine…' That really annoyed me because I knew we were building this story up. So, I'm very happy that we ended up doing it our way."

According to People, the couple met back in 2017 after a party when the Suite Life On Deck star slid into the model’s DMs (and as they say, the rest is history). The duo made their relationship Instagram official back in 2018 with Barbara’s sweet birthday tribute for Dylan’s 26th birthday.

Let’s be real here for a second though, we all knew they were endgame the minute Dylan went above and beyond to support Barbara at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show that same year (remember this viral video?). Three days after the fashion show, the Hungarian model told Vogue Australia that she hadn’t had a boyfriend in six years, but had now found “the perfect guy” in Dylan (we aren’t crying, you are).

How old are Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse?

Barbara Palvin was born on October 8, 1993, making her 31 years old. Dylan Sprouse was born on August 4, 1992, meaning he's 32 years old. So there's only a one-year age gap between them!
