Who were we trying to kid? In recent seasons, the fashion elders have tried to claim crop tops for their own as part of the ongoing 90s revival.

But, really, this is a trend for the teens, with their annoyingly taut abs and general all-round perkiness.

And if we needed proof, it was everywhere you looked on the red carpet at last night’s Teen Choice Awards in LA. The crop top was king and there wasn’t a whiff of Spanx or a muffin top in sight. Sigh.

Oh, and there were a few nice frocks too. Here’s the best and worst dressed of the night.

Best dressed

1. Taylor SwiftSwifty gets it spot-on in her bralet and coordinating skirt (Picture: Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)

Okay, she’s clearly ancient at 24, but she’s still working that crop top like a pro. Love the co-ords, the coral lippy, and the yellow strappy sandals.

2. Shay MitchellShay Mitchell goes for grown up Kardashian-inspired lace (Picture: REUTERS/Danny Moloshok)

We distinctly remember seeing a very similar look on Kim K a while back but the Pretty Little Liars actress gives it a youthful twist with a fishtail plait, metallic accessories and a vampy lip.

3. Lea MicheleSo, so shiny (Picture: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

She didn’t get the midriff memo (awks) but her cute Fausto Puglisi geometric print mini-dress was still perfectly suited to the evening and doesn’t she look all glossy and sickeningly healthy?

4. Nina DobrevMore plaits and crops (Picture: Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)

Star of The Vampire Diaries, Nina is stylish in this shorts and crop combo. Like her fellow best dressed stars, she keeps the makeup and hair young and relaxed.

5. Chloe MoretzBrooklyn’s squeeze gets it just right in embroidered co-ords (Picture: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

One half of our favourite new celeb couple Brookletz (with Brooklyn Beckham), Chloe’s another star who wasn’t afraid to show off those abs *gets down and does 20 stomach crunches*.

Worst dressed

1. Kendall Jenner and Kim KardashianBirthday girl Kylie gets it right, Kendall and Kim not so much (Picture: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Props to Kim for rocking the crop like the best of them but her outfit’s just a bit too busy next to all those fresh teen frocks and cute co-ords. Also, why is she even there?

But, never mind Kim, what’s happened to Kendall? She’s come over all Celine Dion at the Oscars and WTF is happening with those sheer panels? A rare off-day for the model Kardashian.

2. Bella ThorneNice hair, nice print, dodgy netting (Picture: Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)

Sheer panels are never a good look (see above). The print’s lovely but that bit of netting just makes us think of Dancing on Ice. Soz.

3. Demi LovatoWho let auntie Lovato in? (Picture: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

She’s only 21 but she looks a bit like your batty aunt trying to fit in at a sweet sixteen birthday party, all trussed up in a Moschino harness. We can’t work out if she’s going climbing or off to an S&M club afterwards.

4. Odeya RushNice colour, shame about all the satin and netting (Picture: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

The 17 year-old star of new film The Giver looks lovely in red but seems to have got lost on the way to her summer formal. Something more relaxed would have worked much better.

5. Selina GomezTake away the surfboard, she could be working in recruitment (Picture: REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni)

She looks very sophisticated but a tad, dare we say it, drab next to all that bright colour. If you’re going to go for a black trouser suit, you need to dress it up a bit with a red lip or glam hair. She sort of looks like she’s off to a job interview – at a recruitment agency (surfboard aside).
