Kristen Bell paid homage to the late Giorgio Armani with her Privé gown on the Emmy Awards 2025 red carpet in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The Emmy-nominated actress, who earned nods for her work in the Netflix series “Nobody Wants This,” wore a black-and-white gown with a sheer skirt featuring allover embroidered sequins and shimmering appliqués from the Armani Privé fall 2024 couture collection.
The bodice of the Knix campaign star’s sleeveless dress featured a criss-cross style with small black bugle beads sewn with precision into the fabric of the delicate dress. The criss-cross bodice also gave way to striking cutouts on either side of the waist.
