Last night at the Emmys, Kristen Bell was nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for her role as Joanne in the romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This. Her character’s unlikely romance with Rabbi Noah, played by Adam Brody, captured the hearts of thousands. I’ll be the first to admit I rewatched their first kiss scene more times then I’d care to admit. Almost everyone else who I know who watched it did the same. But can you blame us? The show felt like the feel-good story everyone really needed right now. And it proved that the art of the rom-com isn’t just limited to the movies.

For the big night, Bell wore all Armani, down to the beauty. Her makeup artist, Courtney Hart, told me her inspiration for Bell’s look was drawn from the gown itself. She also admitted Bell’s already beautiful skin helped. “With Armani being so timeless, I wanted to focus on that signature luminous skin. The first thing that stood out to me was that black strapping detail on the dress, so I mirrored that with a very delicate black wing using the Smooth Silk Eye Pencil and a touch of black Eye Tint to add intensity and depth,” she said.

“I kept everything skin focused with the Luminous Silk Foundation for that iconic Armani glow, she added. “On the cheeks, I brought in a hint of those soft, pinkish tones you see in the dress’s shimmer using the Luminous Silk Cheek Tints and a light dusting of powder blush. The whole look is classic yet modern and lets Kristen shine in a way that feels effortless, current, and chic.”

As for the look itself, Bell told me how it all came together, below.
