On August 30, 2017, at the Home Again premiere in Los Angeles, Lake Bell delivered a red-carpet look that felt both confident and deliberately styled—anchored by statement footwear rather than fleeting trend cues.

Appearing just three months after welcoming her second child, Bell embraced her silhouette with ease, choosing a streamlined black dress elevated by bold accessories and a decisive pop of color at her feet. The effect was modern, self-assured, and refreshingly unfussy.
Rather than leaning into spectacle, the look succeeded through balance: clean lines up top, sculptural details at the neckline, and citrus-colored Tamara Mellon “Rebel” pumps that grounded the ensemble and gave it lasting visual impact—proof that thoughtful shoe choices can define an entire red-carpet moment.

The actress finished her look with an Edie Parker “Jean” clutch in green marble, then sharpened the ensemble with citrus-colored “Rebel” pumps from Tamara Mellon—a designer long favored by celebrities and high-profile women since her co-founding days at Jimmy Choo, and whose namesake label continues to blend red-carpet polish with a modern, women-first approach to luxury footwear.
