Now SHE looks like trouble! Taylor Swift wins in the style stakes in a sexy crop top and split skirt... but comes away empty-handed at the ACM Awards

Her twee '50s style dresses became almost as ubiquitous as her brash but beguiling pop ditties.
But it seems like Taylor Swift, now 24, is plotting a new course in her style adventures as she rocked up to the Academy of Country Music Awards red carpet in an outfit that oozed sophistication and grown-up sexiness.
Featuring a simple but effective crop-top with cut-outs on the shoulders, the trim 5ft10 singer let her midriff do the talking and added a flash of a long leg from her long skirt - both by J Mendel.
However, while Taylor may have won plaudits for her outfit choice for the evening, she ended up going home empty-handed from the awards - despite having been up for a staggering five gongs.

The epitome of sophistication: Taylor Swift wowed on the ACM Awards red carpet in a this grown up ensemble on Sunday, a marked departure from her typical girlie look

Taylor had been nominated for Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, Single Record of the Year, Video of the Year and Vocal Event of the Year.
But after failing to win any Grammys at the awards in January, the blonde singer was once again left embarrassed when she failed to take home any gongs at the ACMs - one of the country music industry's most prestigious events.
At least Taylor was a winner in the fashion stakes, however, teaming her monochrome look with a slick of her signature red lipstick.

Her jewellery was old Hollywood, almost Art Deco when it came to the Marina B earrings, and the girlish fringe and ponytail replaced by Marlene Dietrich-style bobbed waves.
Taylor's on a 15 week break from her critically acclaimed world tour, which is also entitled, Red.
She also has a cameo role in new Weinstein flick, The Giver, based on the novel by Lois Lowry.
