Kristen Bell Clears Up ‘CHiPs’ Plastic Surgery Rumors in Alberta Ferretti & Jimmy Choos

At the March 2017 Hollywood premiere of CHiPs at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, two actresses delivered standout fashion moments that perfectly captured their distinct red-carpet personalities.

Kristen Bell embraced playful sophistication in a romantic Alberta Ferretti ensemble finished with delicate Jimmy Choo sandals, while Melissa McCarthy brought bold color and confident style in pieces from her own Melissa McCarthy Seven7 collection.

Together, their looks offered a stylish study in contrast—Bell’s polished, ethereal elegance paired with McCarthy’s vibrant, personality-driven approach to dressing.

Starring in the action-comedy alongside her husband and director, Dax Shepard, Bell’s appearance remains a frequently cited example of how to balance high-fashion drama with a playful, personal edge.

Addressing the tabloid rumors head-on, Kristen Bell clarified that she did not undergo a boob job for her role in CHiPs.

Instead, the actress used a clever (and natural) tactic to lean into the over-the-top ‘L.A. trophy wife’ aesthetic required for her character, Karen Baker, in the film directed by husband Dax Shepard.

Because she was breastfeeding at the time, Bell revealed she simply avoided pumping for 24 hours to exaggerate her cleavage for a revealing scene, joking to her children that “the food truck is closed.”

Shepard later suggested she zip up her swimsuit slightly, worried the cleavage might distract from the dialogue, but Bell playfully insisted on committing to the character.

“If there’s one time in my life I’m going to have big, nice boobs, it’s when I’m breastfeeding — why not use ’em while you got ’em!” she joked, adding that skipping pumping for a day helped achieve the dramatic look on camera.

Bell attended the CHiPs Hollywood premiere alongside co-stars, including Michael Peña and her Veronica Mars friend Ryan Hansen.

For the event, Bell selected a sophisticated Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017 ensemble.

The look centered on a delicate black lace crop top paired with a voluminous, floral-print chiffon maxi skirt, bridging the gap between edgy streetwear and classic red-carpet elegance.

The ruffled tiers of Kristen’s chiffon maxi skirt were patterned with blue and purple flowers, and the sleeveless top featured a floral lace hem that showed a little midriff while adding a sexy edge to the feminine look.

Kristen wore her hair in a sleek, middle-parted bun that showcased her radiant makeup and elegant drop earrings from Neil Lane.

She completed the look with delicate black strappy Jimmy Choo sandals, adding a minimalist finish that balanced the drama of her Alberta Ferretti ensemble.

To accentuate the feminine allure of her attire, Kristen paired the ensemble with a delicate lace-edge crop top, which added a touch of elegance and softness compared to the more structured leather version seen on the runway

Jimmy Choo has long been a favorite of the actress on the red carpet.

During a July 2016 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kristen paired a flowing Maria Lucia Hohan outfit with sleek black Jimmy Choo “Claudette” sandals, a barely-there stiletto design that highlighted her legs while maintaining understated elegance.

She has also embraced the brand’s classic pointed-toe silhouettes. At a Century City event, Bell styled a silver Camilla and Marc dress with shimmering Jimmy Choo “Darylin” metallic pumps, demonstrating her preference for polished heels that elevate both cocktail and red-carpet looks.

On another occasion, Kristen sharpened a romantic, floral Salvatore Ferragamo dress with crisp white, pointed-toe Jimmy Choo pumps, proving the versatile brand remains a staple in her footwear rotation.
