We’re not done with our 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards coverage just yet.

We’ve already put Cate Blanchett, Reese Witherspoon, and Angelina Jolie in the spotlight.

Now, today’s post focuses on Krysten Ritter and Aubrey Plaza, who both stood out at the star-studded event for their exemplary use of color to amplify the effect of their looks.

Krysten Ritter oozed with sex appeal and vampy glamour as she struck one fierce pose after another on the blue carpet.

The lovely actress and former model wore a striking yellow body-con dress from Versace’s Fall 2013 collection, which featured animal prints and black vinyl panels.

This yellow-and-black frock looked fantastic enough on the runway, but Krysten definitely owned it with her impressive styling and sexy confidence.

She wore her dark hair in tousled waves and completed her sultry look with dark smoky eyes, a black clutch from Tyler Alexandra, and gold “Elba” pumps from Rupert Sanderson.

Aubrey Plaza, on the other hand, was all charm and sass as she stepped out on the blue carpet at the 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards.

The “Parks and Recreation” star wore a ’50s-style sleeveless frock from Preen’s Pre-Fall 2014 collection, which featured a low neckline, a full skirt, and delightful orange trim.

Aubrey tucked her dark hair behind her ears to show off a pretty pair of earrings from Shylee Rose.

She added a colorful punch to her outfit with bold red lips and a pair of orange-and-black killer heels from Brian Atwood.

The 29-year-old actress wore the “Starlet” pumps in orange-and-black tiger-print elaphe.

We couldn’t find this particular style online, but we did find the studded black leather version of these Brian Atwood pumps at Amazon.
