Kristen Bell threw the grandest famed exposé about preparing for the Emmys, which was quite unlike a Vogue-polished celebrity affair. Her carousel-style post of photos and videos chronicled from professional hair and makeup sessions to the couple downing a huge burger, with weirdly faint evidence of the glorious hotel room ambiance in the background. Bell arched her back with pride in a slick Giorgio Armani gown studded with sparkling jewels from Bucherer-albeit straight from backstage moments took the limelight.
The simple caption read “Emmys ✨,” tagging makeup creator Courtney Hart, stylist Nicole Chavez, and hairstylist Steph Rives. The mention also included her “hot date” of many years, Dax Shepard. That post almost turned into an appreciation post for the glam squad and a love letter to the messy real parts of what should have been a smooth, perfect night.
Instantly, the fans were drawn to the realness. The comments section erupted into praises for Bell for bringing in the unglam moments of brushing teeth with vigor after consuming the burger. Amanda commented, “😍❤️thank you for including all the moments, like eating a burger and brushing your teeth!” This feeling was repeated by dozens across the subsequent threads, with huge numbers thanking the couple for showing “raw real moments” few celebrities ever do.
The whole burger-eating incident was worthy of conversation. Georgia Gray O’Brien said, “It’s the hamburger for me 🤩 AND the earrings!!!!” Meanwhile, another user Amelia confessed to being in shock that Bell could “eat a burger without messing up your makeup!!!” A sidebar started where another user jokingly remarked that the only food they trust themselves to eat while wearing makeup is “plain pasta.”
There was an unexpected juicy mini-debate over the question of whether or not Bell was on a diet. A commenter had said, “I thought she was vegetarian?”, to which others were quite quick to confirm she’s not. One person even quipped, “Surprise – there are vegetarian burgers! 🍔 🤯”. Another commenter wisely ended the debate by writing, “who cares ☺️ what she eats. Just grateful she is showing the raw real moments👏.”
Beyond the burger, fans just couldn’t gush at the couple enough. Fer9596 chimed in saying “Lol!! Love you guys so much!!! @daxshepard is hilarious!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️”. Someone else called them simply “Mom and Dad,” affirming they’re a favored couple in Hollywood circles. Jsduncan18 added, “You guys are like amazing people from what I can see! lifetime arm-🍒🍒”.
Onemoretime, the post also offered proof of Bell’s much-toned body, with Onesimplewish looking and commenting, “You look so strong! 💪🏽 love it ❤️” Such praise for her toned arms was echoed by others. What one and the same of all followers would take from this was more of an appreciation for the blend of aspirational elegance and just good old hilariousness. Happygirlcorinne pinned in one short statement the majority’s sentiments towards Bell: praise of her natural beauty “before all the make up and the dress,” applauding her for showing the entire ordeal, even brushing their teeth after the burger incident so there wouldn’t be “lettuce between their teeth in a photo.”

Where the real success of Kristen Bell’s Emmys follow-up lay was in the celebration of the whole journey and not just a red carpet finish. It was a masterclass in relatable celebrity content in which even on the biggest nights in Hollywood, there is room for good burgers and good laughs with your partner. The event was a celebration for the cast of Nobody Wants This, which received multiple nominations. Ellen DeGeneres, a friend of Bell’s, has previously shared heartwarming moments with the actress. In a separate podcast episode, Dax Shepard and Alicia Silverstone discussed a variety of topics. Later, Kristen Bell celebrated a golden night with her castmates.
