May flowers are springing up everywhere—including on the pants of many celebrities. What we love most about this season’s crop of floral bottoms is how they can be worn in different ways. Katie Holmes went for girly daytime pastels in Current/Elliott, Shenae Grimes gave her look some edge pairing her Alice + Olivia pants with studded boots and leather top, Minka Kelly added sex appeal with her bright peep-toes and Dolce & Gabbana florals, and Kristin Cavallari looked business meeting-ready by layering a black blazer over her saturated darker Joe’s jeans. These ladies prove pretty posies work for almost any occasion—it’s just about mixing the outfit to work for you. Click through the gallery to see more celebrities in the look, and find out where to shop their styles.

Marisa Tomei, First Lady Michelle ObamaClaire Danes, Scarlett Johansson, and Rose McGowan are gravitating to prints this spring—all from the same British label, Preen. Launched by English duo Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi in 2001, the brand became famous for its sophisticated, cool designs and patterns, as exemplified by the women wearing them above. “Our prints say, ‘I’m modern, I’m sexy, I’m cool,” Thornton told InStyle.com. “We design them to offer women something they may not have worn before, but with this a sense of romance.” Even if you are tentative about the graphic look, Thornton has advice: “Mix them up with solids such as a simple jacket or pencil skirt, and then accessorize with minimal items,” he said. “Don’t be afraid of bold prints they make you look both current and appealing. They say ‘I’m interesting and fun!’” Preen is available starting at $240 at net-a-porter.com.
