During a July 2016 appearance at ABC Studios in Los Angeles, Kristen Bell demonstrated the art of balancing bold silhouettes with classic footwear.
Arriving for a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actress chose a coordinated champagne-colored set from Maria Lucia Hohan featuring a plunging neckline and pleated trousers.

While chatting about family life with Dax Shepard, the actress anchored her ethereal look with a Saint Laurent Sac de Jour tote and black suede Jimmy Choo Claudette sandals.

Kristen informed Jimmy that her mother would often visit her sets in an attempt to be a film extra. The actress also told viewers that her mom is into taxidermy.
One time, Kristen received a video featuring two dead cockroaches as a not-so-subtle reminder from her mom that Kristen was a bit of a slob when it came to cleaning her room.
While her family anecdotes were down-to-earth, her choice of the Jimmy Choo ‘Claudette’ was pure Hollywood glamour.
A signature evening style, the Claudette is known for its minimalist, barely-there design and leg-lengthening silhouette, a red-carpet staple that has since become more common on the luxury resale market than in boutiques.
