This spring, stars are battling it out over ikat! And no wonder, Giambattista Valli's use of the colorful ethnic print is so fresh and cool.

Last night, Leighton Meester wore a white V-neck Valli with black Phi buckle boots to her Date Night movie premiere in NYC. She looks pretty cute from this angle, except her hair could use a good brushing. Then it gets cra-zay in the back, but that's just this Gossip girl reminding everybody how edgy she is. Uh-huh.

Meanwhile, Avatar's Zoe Saldana rocked a similar dress to the Directors Guild Awards in February. This style's wild, too: It kind of looks like a high-end potato sack. And we love that Zoe went for it with matching ankle-strap shoes, total fashionista-style—somehow it works.

Which actress looks better in her printed dress?! Hmmm, this one's a toughie, but we're gonna have to go with Zoe because she isn't hiding any funky surprises. Are you with us? Weigh in below!
