Her Way: Kristen Bell

Kristen Bell may be best friends with her stylist, Nicole Chavez, but she still possesses an amateur's delight for the sport of shopping. "My first inkling that I had an opinion about fashion was in the early '90s when I called my dad out for wearing a cutoff, midriff-baring B.U.M. Equipment sweatshirt," says the actress with a laugh, admitting that her authority in the field isn't all that far-reaching. "Rachel Bilson told me her stylist was really interested in meeting me," Bell explains. "I think she saw pictures and thought, 'She's doing it all wrong!' " While Bell now has a professional to back her up for big fashion moments, her strong opinions about style are still intact. With that in mind, we asked her to pack a bag of her all-time, can't-live-without-them must-haves to bring to our shoot. Here, the pieces from her wardrobe that get the most mileage.
