1. Diane Kruger: Metallic Jimmy Choo Sandals & Embellished Thakoon Dress

Diane Kruger consistently turns heads with her bold yet sophisticated fashion choices. While daring cutouts and plunging styles are standard on the red carpet, she elevated the look with effortless elegance, proving that a revealing outfit can still exude class and refinement.

In addition to the see-through panels at the sides and bottom, which are embroidered with a floral design, her black Thakoon dress features exquisite floral beading.

Although black pumps would have been a classic choice, Diane elevated her look with a bold touch by opting for Jimmy Choo’s metallic “Malika” sandals, adding a modern edge to her ensemble.

2. Saoirse Ronan: Lanvin Pumps & Burgundy Two-Tone Dress

The film’s lead star, Saoirse Ronan, wore an interesting dress at the premiere, although she looked less prepared than Diane. Her hair was messy, but her Lanvin dress made up for it.

It was a two-tone satin sleeveless dress with some beading or crystal embellishments on one side, a black bow detail, and a slit.

Saoirse complemented this edgy and modern piece with a pair of Lanvin stiletto pumps and jewelry from EF Collection and J/Hadley.

3. Rachel Roberts: Sleek Open-Back White Dress & Minimalist Style

‘S1m0ne’ star Rachel Roberts opted for a sleek, somewhat glittery white number. Although it looks conservative at the front, the open back is quite sexy.

4. Rebecca da Costa: Graphic Black-and-White Dress & Casual Chic

There’s nothing really fancy about Rebecca da Costa’s dress here. Its black-and-white combination and butterfly and floral-print illusion are interesting.

It’s a good enough dress for a premiere night. However, if you want to attract attention, it would be more appropriate for a night out or a casual stroll.

5. Taylor Spreitler: Bold Green Dress & Vince Camuto “Nedra” Sandals

Taylor Spreitler embraced a festive touch in green just two days after Saint Patrick’s Day. Her Misguided dress is quite mature-looking for her age, but it suits her skin tone and physique well.

It’s a little daring because it features a low-cut V-neck and is very short, but it has long sleeves that cover her up a bit. Taylor paired the dress with Vince Camuto “Nedra” sandals in nude with snake-print details.

6. Bella Thorne: Zigzag Lace-Up Sandals & Strapless Alice + Olivia Dress

Bella Thorne has been experimenting with more mature styles, and her latest look continues that evolution. At the ‘Spring Breakers’ LA premiere, the 15-year-old Disney star looked sweet and girly in a pink strapless dress.

She wore another strapless dress from Alice + Olivia’s Fall 2012 collection. The navy-and-white checkered dress is sweet and sexy, but the grunge effect provides a little drama for Bella.

7. AJ Michalka: Floral Dress & Satin Miu Miu Bow Heels

’78violet’ star AJ Michalka looked spring-perfect in a beautiful floral dress with cap sleeves, a cinched waist, and a flared skirt just above the knee.

The actress’s hair was lovely in waves and braided on one side. AJ wore a pair of Miu Miu bow peep-toe heels to finish the sweet, feminine look.

The slightly plum or burgundy shade of her heels complemented the flowers in her dress well. I also love that she opted for a feminine, wavy hairstyle and a trendy, structured clutch.

8. Alexandra Daddario: Magenta Jay Godfrey Dress & Pollini Sandals

Making a stunning entrance at the venue was Alexandra Daddario, who chose to wear a striking magenta dress by Jay Godfrey.

The textured dress is very sexy and modern. It features a cutout at the waist and a peplum-like detail. She completed her outfit with Pollini Spring 2011 sandals.

9. Christian Serratos: Futuristic Metallic Dress & Gray Pumps

‘Twilight’ actress Christian Serratos went with a hint of sci-fi look in a metallic silver number. Her textured and metallic strapless dress looked ultramodern, but her gray pumps didn’t quite complement it. A little contrast could have added a playful effect.

10. Claudia Lee: White Floral Topshop Dress & Blue ShoeMint Heels

16-year-old Claudia Lee looked charming in a white floral-detailed dress by Topshop with sheer sleeves, a sheer layered skirt, floral appliques, and gold-tone studs on the bodice.

It is very girly and suits her age. However, her red lip shade and nail polish made her look slightly mature. The blue ShoeMint pumps did not match the dress, but their color was a good surprise.

She carried a cream clutch and had a sleek hairstyle, which completed the ensemble with a nice, soft, and feminine finish.
