Held in Inglewood, California, this year’s trends included crop tops galore. Celebs like Miley Cyrus, Jourdan Dunn, Ingrid Nilsen and others couldn’t get enough of showing off those flat stomachs.

Black (Beyonce, Kardashian/Jenner sisters, Solange, Ariana Grande, etc.) and red (Rita Ora, Demi Lovato, etc.) seemed to dominate as well, along with Balmain being the designer of choice — Chanel Iman, Kim Kardashian, Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn opted for the designer.
