If there’s one thing fashion never really does, it’s say goodbye. Y2K trends have been fluttering their way back into our wardrobes and topping the list of bold comebacks is the butterfly crop top. You know the one – sparkly, strappy, and shaped like an actual butterfly, it first made its mark thanks to Mariah Carey in the early 2000s. Now, decades later, it’s gone viral again with everyone from Hailey Bieber to Janhvi Kapoor jumping on the throwback train. Here are four celebrity looks that prove butterfly tops never really flew away – they were just waiting to make a sparkly return.
What Are Butterfly Crop Tops?
They’re not your average crop top. Butterfly tops are structured or draped to look like butterfly wings across the chest. They feature thin straps, plunging necklines, and sparkle levels turned all the way up. Once considered peak glam, they’ve officially become a Gen Z favourite too.
Hailey Bieber’s Pink Sequin Butterfly Crop Top
Hailey gave us “pregnant but make it Y2K chic” in a baby pink butterfly top worn with whitewashed baggy jeans. The sequins caught the light, the straps were barely there, and her entire look was the perfect balance between sweet and edgy. It was laidback but luxe, a look that quietly screamed main character energy.
Dua Lipa’s Butterfly Versace Dress
Leave it to Dua to wear a butterfly gown and make it the moment. At the 2021 Grammys, she showed up in a lavender Versace dress with a butterfly bodice so sparkly it could’ve lit up the whole venue. With her signature sleek hair and matching glam, the look was futuristic, nostalgic and everything in between.
