68 Britney Spears Crop Tops Ranked, Because She's The Queen Of The Belly Shirt

What sets Britney Spears apart from other pop princesses? We know exactly what her bellybutton looks like. And that's because of all the crop tops Britney Spears wears. Seriously. If there's one person who loves a bare midriff, it's Spears. And I have to say that I love that she's stuck with the look she established for herself over a decade ago. But when you wear the same type of outfit as frequently as Spears does, there's bound to be some hits and misses. So grab a snack (it's a long list), and join me as I count down Britney Spears's best crop tops. Will your favorite win?

There are just way too many unforgivable qualities with this top. The yarn? The lace? The awkward brooches? Just no.

This is probably not technically a crop top. But only Britney can turn a regular-length top into one by simply wearing the lowest-riding pants.

Your tank’s got a little rip there, Brit.

This is probably technically a bra. But because it’s Britney, I’m still calling it a crop top, and not my favorite one.

Simply cutting out the neck and tying up the back, does not a DIY crop top make. And those accessories aren’t helping either.

Meh.

This pink, sparkly halter just leaves me wanting more…

IDK if this silver top is what I was looking for, but this layered look is a little better at least.

I hope whatever small child she stole this uniform from found another one.

I’m not sure which is worse: that top or those pants.

I won’t fault her for this early 2000s look as long as it doesn’t come back.

This illusion top (and those pants) is just all sorts of “no.” Cute hat, though.

56.

Is that paper mache?

Kevin Winter/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

55.

Uh, Britney, I think there’s something growing out of your crop top.

I’m sure it was once a cute sweater.

Maybe she’s explaining about how her cat shredded her *fave* crop top.

52.

Not what I would’ve chosen for a date night with *NSYNC, but it’s not the worst she could’ve gone with.

51.

It’s a little matchy-matchy, but you’re getting better, Britney.

This is almost a cute, graphic top. But really, what’s up with that collar? And, uh, what are those guys trying to do with her pants??

Trade out those pants for some regular jeans, and this outfit is a winner.

Kevin Winter/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

I don’t think you got my note on the jeans, Brit.

The red lace could’ve gone raunchy, but this look works.

I’ll never be mad at a badass pair of flared sleeves.

Throw me a pair of high-waisted pants, but I’d totally wear that top.

Britney is so pro at the denim-on-denim-on-denim look.

A crop top with a Peter Pan collar? I’ll take one, thank you.

A metal bustier counts as a crop top, right? Because Britney is so Xena here.

This top needs more color…

The fringe on those sleeves are everything. Plus she gets bonus points for wearing a cropped vest under this cropped jacket.
