When it comes to getting dressed for an event [1], you can't go wrong with solid colors: they're sleek and sophisticated, and rocking a print often means taking a big fashion risk. But this week, the stars got a little daring, trading in minimalism for florals, stripes, and other gorgeous graphics, proving that prints can still look polished — just as long as you choose the right one. Read on to see all the looks that caught our eye over the past week, from Zoe Saldana in Louis Vuitton to Mindy Kaling in Dolce & Gabbana, and gather some inspiration [2] for your next night out.
