Kristen Bell appears to be enjoying a solo night at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards. The actress, 45, seemingly attended the event at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, on Sunday, January 4, alone, posing for the red carpet by herself as she stunned in a black halter gown featuring lace cut outs. Inside the show, Bell was seen sitting beside Nobody Wants This costar Adam Brody during host Chelsea Handler's monologue. Bell is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for Nobody Wants This at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.
