Kristen Bell Shows the Hilarious Reality of Sitting in a Corset at the 2025 Golden Globes: ‘Can’t!’

Kristen Bell can relate to trying to sit in a tight corset.

Actress Jackie Tohn took to Instagram on Monday, January 6, to share a hilarious video of Bell, 44, attempting to sit in her chair at the 2025 Golden Globes, which was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on Sunday, January 5.

In the clip, Bell lowered herself into her seat while rocking an Ashi Studio ensemble featuring a fitted corset with a structured neckline, a peplum bottom and a floor-length glittery skirt. Trying to look as casual as she could, Bell rested her arm against the back of the chair while leaning awkwardly to the side.

“Sit down! Get comfortable!” Tohn, 44, teased from behind the camera. Bell then replied, “I can’t!” as she gave a thumbs up and winked to the camera.

“@kristenanniebell too pretty to sit,” Tohn captioned the post.

Although Bell’s outfit might have been hard to relax in, she looked ethereal in her sequin getup and sparkly accessories, including a massive diamond ring, wrap bracelet and coordinating earrings.

Bell’s glam complimented her outfit with filled-in eyebrows, nude eyeshadow, rosy cheeks and pink lips. Her bronde hair was parted to down the middle and slicked back into an updo.

This year, Bell was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series, Comedy, for her role as Joanne in Nobody Wants This. The trophy ended up going to Jean Smart for her part in Hacks.

Bell actually isn’t the only celeb who has struggled to sit in their gown at the Golden Globes. Last year, Dua Lipa experienced the same dilemma while rocking a form-fitting Schiaparelli gown featuring gold embellishments in the shape of a skeleton and a pleated mermaid skirt.

In January 2024, she shared a video of the moment via Instagram, first leaning against her chair before giving up and sinking into the seat while giving the camera a goofy smile.
