2008 Style Looks for Heroes’ Star Kristen Bell - She’s Improving!
By Jessica Rae on Apr 29, 2008 in Misc.
Our dear Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars, Heroes) has not always made the best choices when it comes to her personal style on the red carpet. We forgive her though, because she’s an amazing actress and her personality makes us want to be her BFF. And, it is that type of fun and fearless approach to fashion that gives us a splash of flavor next to dull looks. Bell has come a long way in her choices. Still, no one is perfect. Here are four of her most recent 2008 red carpet looks. Let’s compare notes, shall we?
In a simple, structured, frock that goes from a dark forest green to paler moss green, Kristin Bell attended the premiere for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s female buddy comedy, Baby Mama. The dress is okay. But it’s not stunning. (And why not choose to look stunning?) For a hilarious movie, I don’t know why you’d want to dress as though you’re going to tea with the Queen. I’d like to hike up the skirt (the only reason to have such a high neckline is to get away with showing off a lot of leg), and cut the neckline to make it a boatneck. This would eliminate the bad boxy look (aka BBL). Standing in front of a movie poster with actual blocks is just a bad, bad, coincidence that enforces the unfortunate square shape.

MTV’s TRL called for a vibrant look. Also, apparently it afforded her a chance to go back to the 80’s. I love 80’s music, but the fashion is nothing to be proud of, let alone embraced. Then again I must eat my own words as I type this (and I don’t even know how that works!) because Bell donned an 80’s-inspired look in a season one episode of Veronica Mars, and that was wonderful. (”Everybody, wang chung tonight! WANG CHUNG OR I’ll KICK YOUR ASS!” - Logan Echolls aka Jason Dohring ) I’m trying hard to like this dress (honest, I am), but it’s just not doing anything for me aside from giving me a bit of a headache. It’s not HORRIBLE, but she can do better.

This is much more fun and natural. For the Forgetting Sarah Marshall premiere (which I hear is HI-LARIOUS but have not seen yet) our Heroes‘ femme fatale looks breezy and sweet. I would have eliminated the front tie in the same fabric of the dress, because when photographed, it can easily make someone appear to have a baby-bump.

There’s something about the color navy that I love, and it looks ten kinds of glamorous in a fabric like silk or satin. (I could pretend to know which this is - but I’ve no clue.) Basically, shiny = good. Same goes for hair, and Bell has that covered as well. Twirl, twirl!
