Dressed in a chic black off-shoulder neckline dress from Rosetta Getty ($695 at Shopbop) and Loeffler Randall’s Goldy knee boots in python-print leather ($695 at Neiman Marcus), Kristen Bell stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show and told the hilarious story of husband Dax Shepard sexting with her mom.

“She sent a text message which said, ‘Be there by 11. Can’t wait to see you tonight’,” Kristen began the story of Dax’s flirt with his mother-in-law Lorelei Bell. “He meant to respond smiley face, smiley face, smiley face, but instead he responds eggplant, eggplant, eggplant.”

Often used in sexting because of its suggestiveness, she added: “The moment you add an eggplant emoji, the entire story changed.”

Currently promoting her new children’s book, “The World Needs More Purple People” (available at Amazon), she also talked about how her company Hello Bello is giving back.

In September 2015, Kristen Bell stepped out in Beverly Hills for the Concert for Our Oceans benefit held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.

Seth MacFarlane hosted the event, which benefited Oceana, the largest international advocacy organization focused on ocean conservation.

She added a few inches to her height with cream cutout sandals and finished off her look with mermaid-esque loose waves and soft makeup — pink blush and coral pink lipstick.
