While red carpet celebrities continue to be the ambassadors of choice for luxury brands, big studio film-making was bound to get a little haute with their marketing tie-ins this year, resulting in some of the best on-screen fashion moments we’ve seen in ages.

Known for her role as the popular blonde in Pretty Little Liars, Ashley Benson debuted newly-dyed brown hair this weekend at the SXSW premiere of Spring Breakers in Austin, Texas. It’s not easy to transition from blonde to brunette, but the colour looks natural on Benson (so, maybe it is?) especially when compared side-by-side with her Spring Breakers co-star, Selena Gomez. Gomez always wears her long, raven-to-chestnut ombre coloured hair well, and opted for loose waves with a side-part at the Spring Breakers party.

Ashley Benson, on the other hand, may still be getting used to her new colour, as she kept her hair up, styled in a messy bun.

Just like Benson, Gomez had a heavily lined undereye, but pulled it into more of a cat-eye shape on her upper eyelid. And were the starlets sharing a lip colour? Ashey Benson and Selena Gomez both wore a similar shade of peachy-pink lipstick.

If you never had the chance to participate in the grand North American tradition of spring break (which, FYI, should always be pronounced in full caps and followed with a fist pump cheer) last night’s Spring Breakers party brought quite the facsimile. Vitaminwater transformed Brassaii’s sleek patio into a Daytona Beach-eqsue nightclub, compete with bikini-clad girls frolicking in hot tubs and Jello shots for all. At the Spring Breakers press conference earlier in the day, Selena Gomez warned her fans that the film is R-rated and not for younger audiences—a sign that she was ready to break out of her Disney-approved bubble?
