Everybody wants more Kristen Bell, and lucky for fans, she just touched down at the Golden Globes 2026. Bell made a splashy entrance on the red carpet at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California, and she fittingly dressed like a winner in an optical illusion gown that shimmered from every angle.
Bell, who is nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy for Nobody Wants This, served up some sparkling glamour in a one-shoulder silk satin LBD that looked like it was made out of liquid. Bell's floor-length column dress, which was designed by Giorgio Armani Privé, featured an asymmetrical neckline and a bodice that was embroidered with a kaleidoscope of purple, teal, blue, silver, and black sequins. Her molten black skirt trailed several inches behind her, covering her stilettos.
She kept the party going with her beauty, styling her signature golden-blonde locks in a sleek ballerina bun, showing off a pair of dangling earrings. As for makeup, Bell opted for minimalist glowing glam, accentuating her features with a light pink hue on her eyelids, cheekbones, and lips.
This is a big night for the hit Netflix comedy, which clinched three nods, including Best Television Series—Musical or Comedy. Bell's co-star Adam Brody is nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy for his portrayal of lovable rabbi Noah.
Bell was nominated in the same category for the same show last year, however, the trophy ultimately went to Jean Smart for Hacks. Regardless, Bell turned heads at the ceremony, stunning in a shimmery rose gold Ashi Studio Couture gown that featured a strapless neckline, corset bodice, peplum waist, and floor-grazing column skirt.
She walked the carpet with her hubby, who put a casual twist on classic black tie dressing. He cleaned up nice in a classic black suit, white button-down shirt, speckled black tie, dark shades, and unexpected black-and-white checkered Vans.
Before then, Bell last attended the show in 2019, looking pretty in pink in a blush-colored pleated Zuhair Murad gown with a plunging V-neckline and silver accents. The actress also attended the ceremony in 2010, 2013, and 2017.
