Is there such a thing as too much velvet? Ask Anna Kendrick and the answer's likely an emphatic no. For the Trolls premiere in California, the actress chose a sparkly velvet dress with voluminous sleeves and built-in neck scarf. The ice-skater silhouette came straight from the Marc Jacobs Spring '17 runway, and though the look was cute, she did a complete 180 later that night by slipping into a sexy Gabriela Hearst dress.

Still, Anna stuck to the velvet theme, choosing the hip-hugging number in a similar shade of blue. The dress, like the Marc Jacobs look, even revealed her back, and Anna simply styled both outfits with black heels. It may be pure coincidence that she wore velvet looks twice in one day, but if we had to take a guess, Anna was probably feeling the '90s vibe. Like her stylist Cristina Ehrlich said, "When it's so good, you do it twice." Look ahead to see both of Anna's velvet blue dresses and then shop a similar one of your own.
