Getting Ready with Kristen Bell for the Golden Globes Is a Lot of Fun

Her stylist, Nicole Chavez, and husband, Dax Shepard, were there, too.

The Hamilton soundtrack is playing in the background. Through the haze of hairspray, we could make out Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard stuffing hotel napkins into their necklines (Bell’s a deep blush Zuhair Murad V she was protecting from her makeup, and Shepard’s a crisp white collar). They role-played a family dinner at Red Lobster. If you couldn’t deduce it at this point, you should know we’re in a ritzy hotel room in Beverly Hills prepping for the 76th Golden Globe Awards with Bell’s glam team, including longtime stylist Nicole Chavez.

It wasn’t long before Shepard took control of the music—not before chirping his Golden Globe-nominated wife’s musical afinity—switching to rap and hip-hop while hairstylist Jenny Cho touched up the actress’s shiny S-waves and makeup artist Simone Siegel added a few final dustings of finishing powder. Bell, who was nominated for Best Actress in a TV Comedy for her leading role in The Good Place, channeled old-Hollywood glamour in a full-length pleated gown and Brian Atwood heels Chavez had custom-dyed to match the dress perfectly. There was a heavy sprinkling of Harry Winston diamonds to finish off the look. Thank goodness Chavez gave us all the details of Bell’s look (and more) below.

Simone Siegel: “I started prepping Kristen’s skin by first using the new [Charlotte Tilbury] Goddess Cleansing Ritual. This regime helps to draw out impurities and put back in the glowing goodness for a fresh, perfectly spa-cleansed complexion. You always need a beautiful canvas for a beautiful makeup! After cleansing, I then applied the Goddess Skin Clay Mask and left [it] on for 10 minutes before rinsing [it] off. This is so moisturizing, soothing, and brings down any redness.”
