In June 2022, Kristen Bell arrived at the Good Morning America studios in New York City, delivering a masterclass in high-octane color-blocking that remains a blueprint for “dopamine dressing.”

The Veronica Mars actress was in Manhattan to debut The World Needs More Purple Schools (available on Amazon), her follow-up to the 2020 bestseller The World Needs More Purple People.
While her literary work focuses on unity and education, her aesthetic for the day centered on bold, individual expression through primary colors and architectural silhouettes.
“It’s such a big part of my heart,” she said of her new book. “We basically took our purple principles from the first book and applied them to a place where people come together to grow and learn and share and make better ideas and learn about each other, which is the school.”
“It’s really a love letter to and for educators because we’ve all had those educators in our lives that have changed the trajectory of who we are,” she added.

She also shared that they celebrated her husband, Dax Shepard, for Father’s Day, noting they “blew” the celebration because she was out of town and Shepard wasn’t around on Mother’s Day.
Bell, however, marked the occasion with her two daughters, Lincoln and Delta, by brightening up their “dingy” garage, which serves as her husband’s workout space.
“My girls and I took spray paint and acrylic markers, and we decorated the whole inside with love notes and pictures of our family and kind graffitied his space.”

The Good Place actress made a splash in the studio, opting for a fun multicolored gingham-patterned co-ord by Stine Goya, a Copenhagen-based brand known for its playful, colorful prints and feminine silhouettes.
Kristen wore the $270 “Liw” top from the Pre-Fall 2022 collection, featuring a picnic check pattern, a high-low peplum hem, and dramatic short puff sleeves.
She paired it with the matching $270 “Debra” pants, which feature a slightly flared silhouette, pleats, and an elastic waist.

Continuing with the brilliant rainbow theme of her look, the sloth lover slipped her feet into a pair of orange pumps from By Far and Mimi Cuttrell’s collaboration.
She wore the classic slingback pumps, made in Portugal from smooth Italian calfskin leather. They feature a refined strap, pointed toe, and a custom 3.7-inch curved heel.

Adding more color to her already bright ensemble, the Frozen voice actor carried a $515 By Far “Mini Soho” circular bag in super green croc-embossed leather and wore a pair of tinted yellow-framed sunglasses.
A pair of thick gold hoop earrings, two delicate bracelets, and gold rings further elevated her look. Beauty-wise, she simply wore her blonde hair straight with a middle parting and added a swipe of pink lipstick to match her nails.
