In director Jake Szymanski’s new comedy flick Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Anna Kendrick plays wild party girl Alice, opposite leading man Zac Efron. As Alice, the 30-year-old actress poses as a respectable young date for Efron’s character Dave Stangle, and manages to stun in a vivid frock. We are loving the brilliant magenta shade of the dress, along with the dainty straps and sweetheart neckline. If you’re aiming to channel your inner Alice, here’s how to achieve her ladylike and playful style for the weekend.

1) Topshop Petite Strappy Bonded Mini Dress, $110: For a sophisticated take on the look, try slipping into this chic bright pink number with skinny straps and a pleated asymmetrical hemline. Meanwhile, the barely there criss-cross back completes the look.

2) Naven Hearthrob Dress, $193: With its bustier neckline, this charming silk shell frock makes quite the splash for summertime. For a finishing touch, the delicately flared hemline and waist-cinching cut are sure to create an hourglass figure.

3) Amanda Uprichard Cadillac Dress, $230: As a fit and flare dress, this pure silk design is girlish and perfectly figure-flattering. The sweetheart neckline, slightly thicker straps and softly falling fabric wrap up the style.
