Truly a match made in heaven, try on a luscious leather crop top paired with a matching leather skirt. Up-and-coming starlet Willa Holland looked stunning as she attended a recent panel for mega-popular superhero series “Arrow”. The series has captured the hearts of comic book fans and producers held an exclusive panel hinting at budding Season 4 info at San Diego Comic Con 2015.
Affectionately known as “Thea Queen” or “Speedy”, Holland wore a backless leather crop top with a form-fitting leather pencil skirt. Subtle and sexy, Holland opted for a midi length skirt which stopped at her knee and had a tiny slit at the back. Willa styled her look with strappy ankle heels, black and gold triangular earrings and a furry clutch. Although she originally arrived wearing a taupe fedora, complete with rows of pyramid studs, and a pair of adorable silver brogues, but it seems like she swapped for heels later in the evening.
Emily Brett Rickards, also known to fans as “Felicity Smoak”, made an appearance with an uber cute leather outfit of her own. Rickards donned a leather two piece, with a matte leather crop top paired with a zippered miniskirt. She completed her look with minimal jewelry, chunky metallic platforms and a bold red lip. Co-star Kate Cassidy, or “Black Canary” popped in, wearing a casual look with a graphic printed tee, black pleated skirt and slip on sneakers.
The three actresses candidly stopped for selfies, giggling, posing and smiling the whole way through. With Season 4 of “Arrow” in store for fall, it looks like this stylish trio has plenty of other red carpet appearances to make. Take notes from these fashionistas and experiment with crop tops and leather skirts.

I hadn’t thought about pairing a leather crop top with a matching skirt for events, but Willa’s version sounds polished rather than overdone.
Emily’s choice of chunky metallic platforms instead of heels gave her outfit a playful twist that matched Felicity’s personality.
The detail about the taupe fedora with pyramid studs was unexpected, kind of wish she kept it with the leather look for extra edge.
The mention of minimal jewelry with Emily’s bold red lip was a great reminder that leather already makes a statement without piling on accessories.
I liked how the article pointed out Willa swapping from silver brogues and a studded fedora into strappy heels later, it really shows how versatile the outfit was.
That furry clutch paired with Willa’s black and gold triangular earrings sounded like such a cool mix of textures without overwhelming the outfit.
The contrast between Emily’s zippered mini and Willa’s knee-length pencil skirt really shows how many directions you can take leather pieces.
Kate Cassidy’s casual graphic tee and pleated skirt combo was a nice break from all the leather, showing not everyone has to go full edgy.
The focus on accessories like the triangular earrings and furry clutch helped paint a full picture of Willa’s look beyond just the leather pieces.
I liked that Kate Cassidy kept it simple with sneakers and a graphic tee, it made the group styling feel more varied and realistic.
Willa Holland’s backless leather crop top with that midi pencil skirt sounded like such a balanced look, especially with the tiny slit detail keeping it from feeling too severe.
I appreciate how the article highlighted the midi length on Willa’s skirt, since leather can get tricky and that length keeps it classy.
It was fun reading about the trio taking selfies and laughing together, it made the fashion feel more approachable rather than just red carpet stiff.
Emily Bett Rickards’ matte leather crop top and zippered mini felt like a fun contrast to Willa’s sleeker vibe, especially with those chunky metallic platforms.
Willa’s mix of sexy and subtle with the backless top and longer skirt is a good example of balance instead of going all-out revealing.
The article did a good job showing how subtle tweaks like a tiny back slit or matte finish can completely change how leather reads.
