Kristen Bell’s Golden Globes Prep Included a Thong Hair Tie

Kristen then got a bit help slipping into her black, Giorgio Armani Privé gown, which featured a kaleidoscope of colorful sequins on the asymmetrical bodice and a silky, fitted floor length black skirt.

She was then joined by husband Dax Shepard—who opted for a classic black tuxedo—as the two shared a kiss before making their way to the Beverly Hilton hotel for the award show.

And it was a big night for the couple—who are parents to daughters Lincoln, 12, and Delta, 11—as they were both nominees: Kristen for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy for Nobody Wants This and Dax for Best Podcast for Armchair Expert.

And while both went home empty handed—Kristen lost to Hacks’ Jean Smart, while Good Hang With Amy Poehler picked up the inaugural podcast award—Kristen was overjoyed by Dax’s nomination.

"I'm a hype man," she told E! News' Justin Sylvester on the red carpet. “My husband and my best friend were nominated for the first-ever podcast category."

As Kristen put it, "I'm going to lose my mind when their category is announced, even if they don't win because I'm so proud of them."

In fact, her entire focus was on Dax and barely on her own category, as she noted, "I'm not even thinking about me."
