Kristen Bell walks red carpet in revealing gown her daughter begged her not to wear

Kristen Bell recently walked the red carpet in a revealing red gown that she revealed her daughter had begged her not to wear in public.

Kristen Bell’s two daughters weren’t fans of the red dress she wore to the Season 2 premiere of Nobody Wants This in October.

Bell was a guest on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Monday, and admitted that her daughters — Lincoln, 12, and Delta, 10, — had an issue with her look.

“They are at the age where they have opinions now… let me tell you something about this red dress. They said, ‘no bueno,’” the star began.

“They didn’t approve?” Hudson asked. “They didn’t approve. They said, ‘too sexy,’” Bell replied. The actress explained that her daughters are used to seeing her at home, waking up to their mum with her “hair tangled” with “dragon breath” — not in full glam.

“They were like, ‘I don’t feel... I’m not feeling this. It’s too much of a paradox for me. You can’t leave the house in that.’”

“And I said, ‘Too bad. I’m going to,’” Bell said.

Bell stood her ground and didn’t give in to her daughters’ concerns.

At the premiere, Bell wore a red satin wrap dress with a deep-plunging neckline and lace detailing that was a bit sheer.The actress shares her two daughters with her husband of 12 years, Dax Shepard.

Shepard and Bell first met at a dinner party for a mutual friend in 2007. A few weeks later, the two ran into each other at a hockey game, and the rest is history.

During an interview with Today, Bell recalled the moment after they first met.

After their dinner party, Shepard texted Bell saying, “I violated your privacy and got your number from Shauna. How do you feel about that?”

“I was, like, OK, starting it off with a really good joke that makes me feel, like, butterflies. I fell in love with him way before he fell in love with me,” Bell told the outlet.
