In case you haven’t heard, Lilly Pulitzer, a renowned fashion designer specializing in brightly printed clothes and accessories, has teamed up with Target to produce some of this year’s prettiest spring and summer dresses.
The collection will be released on April 19 at Target. However, the brand collaboration is already generating buzz with a refreshing lookbook and the many celebrities who showcased the collection at a recent exclusive shopping event.
At the event, these female celebrities became the living, breathing models of the collection, donning pretty, bright, and colorful dresses. Which celebrity do you think had the perfect ensemble?

The heterochromatic-eyed beauty rarely gets it wrong in the fashion department, and this wasn’t an exception. The Mary Jane shoes and the box bag successfully capped off the ‘60s look Kate Bosworth aimed for.
2. Bella Thorne in Colorful Shift Dress

The fashionable actress and singer took inspiration from the collection’s beachy panache and decided to wear strappy flats for the event. She styled her hair in soft, beachy waves to complete the look.
3. Emmy Rossum in Pink Giraffe Dress
The 28-year-old American actress and singer-songwriter looked glam in her Lily Pulitzer for Target Shift dress in Giraffeeey print, styled with pink Christian Louboutin “Pigalle Follies” pumps.

“Headed to the Target/Lilly Pulitzer collaboration party! Wearing a dress with pink giraffes on it! #loveit #lillyfortarget @targetstyle,” Emmy tweeted about her dress.
The 28-year-old Shameless actress gave Kate a run for her money in the mod styling department because she, too, opted for a ‘60s-inspired look. But rather than Kate’s modest attire, Emmy Rossum went glamorous and styled her tresses in big, voluminous curls.
