Looks like Nicole Richie is the latest celeb to jump on the belly bearing trend. If only she'd chosen something a little more original...

Kristin Cavallari's cropped top may be slightly less cropped, but the Candidly Nicole star still looks like her slightly sexier little sister in the pale pink version of the exact same style. First-wearer rights go to Kristin for rocking this Elizabeth and James combo a week before the reality star-turned-designer, but we all know that it's about who wore it best not first.

While we love the pink and black palette on the head of the House of Harlow, her stomach slice is way too wide. Proper midriff bearing means leaving more to the imagination, and this creeps into bra-top territory. The choice of a blue shoe in Kristin's get-up is a little curious, but the structure of her all-white style is classier all around, and we prefer the casual hair keeping it breezy.

So it's The Hills star over the Simple Life vet as far as we're concerned. What's your take?
