It looks like the ‘Spring Breakers’ cast saved the best premiere for last. The four leading ladies—Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Selena Gomez, and Rachel Korine—attended the L.A. screening of their movie last Thursday.

And as expected, all four dressed to impress. Famous and familiar faces such as Ashley Tisdale, Shay Mitchell, Bella Thorne, and Sarah Hyland were also spotted at the premiere and were just as dolled up.

Here’s a roundup of the ladies who stood out in dresses on the event’s purple carpet. Who do you think nailed the best look of the night?

1. Vanessa Hudgens: Feathered Elegance in Naeem Khan

Vanessa Hudgens went all-out at the premiere by choosing a super feathery Naeem Khan floor-length gown that featured a fully beaded bodice and thigh-high slit.

She paired her dress with dark eyes, nude lips, and a stunning set of strappy sandals. Was she overdressed for the premiere, or not at all?

2. Selena Gomez: Grecian Goddess in Reem Acra

For the premiere, Selena chose a stunning red Reem Acra gown featuring a deep sheer neckline and nude sides. It was very Grecian-inspired and quite elegant. We don’t know whether to love or hate the messy updo she wore it with.

3. Rachel Korine: Modern Contrast in Asymmetric Midi

Co-star Rachel Korine went for a black and white midi at the premiere.

It had grommet details, a sheer panel on one side, and an asymmetric neckline to boot. Could she have done better?

4. Ashley Benson: Understated Chic in Armani

For some reason, Ashley Benson decided to dress down for the LA premiere. The actress opted for a super short, shapeless halter from Armani and finished it with ankle strap pointy pumps. Do you like her look or not?

5. Ashley Tisdale: Vibrant in RVN’s Geometric Glamour

Vanessa’s gal pal, Ashley Tisdale, attended the premiere in a patterned orange and black dress from RVN. It was a straightforward look, but the dress was quite stunning and suited her gorgeous tan.

6. Bella Thorne: Topshop’s Youthful Elegance on the Purple Carpet

Disney darling Bella Thorne stepped onto the purple carpet in a girly strapless number from Topshop. She styled it with Valentino Rockstud pumps and a beautiful braided updo. What do you think of the mix she put together?

7. Shay Mitchell: Sophisticated Textures in Sachin + Babi

‘Pretty Little Liars’ cutie Shay Mitchell opted for a twofer dress from Sachin + Babi for the premiere. It was a simple black-and-white look, but we love how she picked a dress that played with textures:

8. Sarah Hyland: Subdued Sophistication in Paule Ka

Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland chose a light colorblock dress from Paule Ka that was cinched at the waist with a bow belt. Sadly, she looked pretty bland. Do you agree?

9. Eva Amurri: Gucci-Inspired Elegance in a Purple Sheath

We haven’t ID’ed Eva Amurri’s purple sheath yet, but we love how she tried to channel Gucci by topping it with a jeweled neckpiece. Nude heels and a neat updo tied everything together.

10. Cara Santana: The Perfect Little White Dress

Jesse Metcalfe’s lady love, Cara Santana, went for a simple white mini dress and finished it with colorful extras. This girl gets five stars for her spot-on accessories, yes?

11. Samantha Droke: Lace Elegance in Cameo

Another pretty lady in a little white dress was the beautiful Sammy Droke. She opted for a lace-paneled piece from Cameo and matched it with the most stunning pair of sandals at the premiere:

So, who had the finest dress of the night? Which dress was your favorite? Who had the best look among the lead cast—Vanessa, Selena, Ashley, or Rachel?
