Kristen Bell wore Ashi to the 2025 Golden Globes: liquid elegance?


Kristen Bell bugs me a lot. I think it’s her tendency to overshare coupled with her terrible “I don’t see color” children’s book. I have to give her props though for her excellent Ashi metallic gown last night, if not for her severe styling. Kristen was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, for her work in Netflix’s Nobody Wants This. A lot of people watched that, but I avoided it because I can’t stand her. Maybe I’ll get over that.

Jean Smart won in that category for Hacks. Hacks also took home Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy. This is Jean’s second Globe. She was in Rhea Costa. Queen.

I’m including presenter Mindy Kaling as she’s in Ashi too. Mindy’s gold strapless column gown was just as much of a knockout look as Kristen’s but Mindy’s hair and makeup was way better. Mindy is featured in Duchess Meghan’s upcoming cooking and lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan. She said on the red carpet that she was invited to be a guest on Meghan’s show when she was postpartum from her last baby and that “When you hang out with Meghan you know the food is going to be good.”

I would have made Ayo Edebiri the headliner for this post but there are hardly any photos of her (from our agencies) in this cool-looking Loewe suit. Ayo won a Globe in this category last year and she was nominated. A lot of people were saying she was channeling Julia Robert’s 1990 suit at the Globes. I see it!

Kathryn Hahn absolutely nailed the lead in Agatha All Along. I would have liked to have seen more recognition for that transcendent show, like this was the only nomination! Where were the nominations for Joe Locke and Patti LuPone? The writing was among the best I’ve ever watched in a series. I bought a damn t-shirt I loved this show so much. Kathryn was in Altuzzura. Somehow she makes this work. Look at this fierce bitch. She’s wearing a 90s belt!

I’m including Anora’s Mikey Madison here as she was also in a fabulous gold gown. Mikey is in Bottega Veneta. She was captivating in Anora. I really enjoyed that movie but I could tell a man wrote it. There were decisions that I did not think Mikey’s character would have made. That’s all I’ll say about it as I know a lot of you haven’t seen it yet. Mikey was nominated in the Best Actress category, which went to Demi Moore. I hope Mikey gets an Oscar nomination, she deserves it.

    Justice for Agatha😂. I liked Kathryn’s look actually. And I loved Ayo’s.

    • BQM says:

      I know! Jean is great and I love her. Can’t argue with the win in theory but I wanted Hahn to win so badly. She is amazing as Agatha. So many layers and she did it all. Comedy, drama even a musical!

  2. Kristen from MA says:

    I think that everyone here needs better – brighter – lipstick. Imagine Bell with a true red lip.

  3. Mrs. Smith says:

    I really enjoyed Agatha, but I loved (!) Nobody Wants This. I hear you re: KB is annoying at times, but she is a fun actress. I was in the mood for a get-my-mind-off-the-election series and ended up binging NWT in one sitting. I loved Justine Lupe and Adam Brody, too.

    • Lala11_7 says:

      @Mrs Smith…..You & Me? SAME! 🤪

      I am STILL shocked at how much I liked that series as I’ve NEVA watched ANYTHING KB has starred in!

      • Mrs. Smith says:

        LALA — Yes!!! It was funny and cute, just what I needed. If you need more light comedy, check out The Good Place if you haven’t already seen it. Easy watching to help tune out the news.

      • Aj says:

        I’m not a KB fan either, but watch the Good Place. It’s an excellent show, with great ensemble cast.

      • Normades says:

        The Good Place is so good. I’ve watched the entire thing twice

    • MaisiesMom says:

      Same! I watched it twice. I don’t mind KB in general though, at least not as an actress. I liked “The Good Place” too. She looks great here IMO.

    • JEB says:

      Loved No One Wants This, and I was the same-never watched a KB show. The whole cast is great-lots of good actors in it. So glad it got a 2nd season. It’s also basically me & my husband’s story except we have different jobs! We laughed sooo much.

    With you on Agatha All Along! I wore a Bohner Family Reunion Pitch a Tent shirt for Halloween!

  5. ThatGirlThere says:

    Kristen’s gown is too long. Some of these attendees need to ask law who tailors Zendaya’s gowns.

  6. pamspam says:

    Jean Smart is a national treasure!

    I think everyone looks lovely.

  7. Mc says:

    Is Kristen bell the one who has been donating to a bunch of random medical go fund me accounts? It makes me see her in a better light.

  8. Eowyn says:

    Thank you – “ her tendency to overshare coupled with her terrible “I don’t see color” children’s book”!

  9. Wilma says:

    Kristen Bell annoys me whenever I read something about her (with the exception of the inspiration for the Anna song in Frozen 2), but delights me when I see her act in something. Very weird.

    I like the outfits of everyone in this post. Lots of originality and personality here.

  10. Lucy2 says:

    Everyone looks great, Mindy especially looks stunning. I love Kristen’s dress.
    Kathryn is SO gorgeous. I never really noticed until the past couple of years, I saw her in Tiny Beautiful Things and kept thinking how beautiful she is.
    I love Jean and Hacks a lot, it’s wonderful to see her having such success.

  11. SciLies says:

    I think it’s funny how everyone is all into this series, but LOTS of Jewish women went online to say how antisemitic the show is. No one cared what they had to say because – NEWS FLASH – people don’t care if something is antisemitic if it makes them forget about the (antisemitic) election.

    This show was deeply problematic in its descriptions of Jewish women. The fact that people continually overlooked it because they wanted to feel good is more than my mind will allow.

    But it’s all OK because Bell doesn’t just not see color; she doesn’t see religions, either.
