Kristen Bell Turns Up the Heat in Red Alex Perry Dress and Jude Mesh Pumps at Nobody Wants This Season 2 Premiere

Kristen Bell fully embraced her on-screen confidence in a red-hot Alex Perry mini dress when she stepped onto the red carpet at the Egyptian Theatre for the second season premiere of her Netflix series, Nobody Wants This.

The series follows the unexpected relationship between an outspoken, quick-witted agnostic sex-and-dating podcaster, Joanne Williams (Kristen Bell), and an unconventional American rabbi, Noah Roklov (Adam Brody). Channeling her character’s bold yet sophisticated energy, Kristen wore a fiery red mini dress, which even her own kids warned her was “too sexy to wear out of the house”.

In an interview with Access Hollywood at the event, Kristen revealed her daughters told her, “You can’t wear that,” but she confidently replied, “Watch me!” And watch we did, as she strutted her stuff on the red carpet, radiating playful, unapologetic confidence.

1. Channeling Her Inner Siren: Red Alex Perry Dress & Lace Details

Kristen radiated confidence in Alex Perry’s red “Bikini Wrap Asymmetric” dress — a $2,300 creation cut from liquid-satin crepe that skimmed her figure with effortless fluidity. The wrap silhouette sculpted soft draping across her waist, while a diagonal lace inset added a whisper of romance to the daring design.

The bias-cut hem fell asymmetrically around her legs, giving the look that signature Perry mix of precision and ease — polished yet playfully undone.

True to the Australian designer’s sensual-minimalist aesthetic, the gown’s lace-trimmed neckline plunged to the sternum without crossing into risqué territory. Spaghetti-thin rouleau straps framed an open back, lending a delicate balance to the fiery red tone and structured drape.

The result? A masterclass in modern seduction — equal parts sweet, sultry, and self-assured.

2. Effortless Glam: Soft Waves, Rosy Makeup & Minimalist Jewelry

She styled her blonde hair in soft, effortless waves that fell past her shoulders and framed her softly made-up face. Her makeup was fresh and luminous, keeping the focus on her radiant skin and blue eyes. She wore a sweep of rosy blush, pink lipstick that added a touch of youthful charm, and mascara.

3. Finishing Touch: Black Mesh Jude “Fame” Pumps Add a Sultry Edge

Kristen finished the ensemble with equally sizzling heels by Jude, a luxury footwear brand founded in 2024 by Jurgita Dileviciute and Denitsa Bumbarova.

These are the same pumps favored by several chic celebrities. Rachel Brosnahan wore the white version with a plaid suit during the Superman press tour, while Lily James opted for the cacao suede version for the Swiped press tour. Chloe Grace Moretz was also spotted in the white pair, styling them with an oversized gray suit for an appearance on the Today Show.

While a red or nude pair might have been the obvious choice, Kristen went for black to create a striking contrast against her fiery dress.

Her Jude “Fame” pumps were crafted from sheer mesh, exuding subtle sensuality that matched the sultry mood of her outfit. Their sculptural 4.25-inch curved heels added an architectural edge while giving Bell’s 5ft 1 (154.9 cm) height a confidence-boosting lift.
