Kristen Bell Stays Loyal to Jude’s Shoes for ‘Nobody Wants This’ Promo

While fans are wondering what Kristen Bell‘s “Nobody Wants This” character, Joanne Williams, will be wearing during the second season, the actress wants people to have doubts regarding what her go-to footwear brand is. Throughout the promo tour for the new season, which debuts on Netflix on Thursday, Bell has remained loyal to Jude.

While promoting the hit Netflix show’s first season, Bell kept returning to a pair of By Far’s Yasha Slingbacks in black leather. This time, she is keeping it consistent again, but swapping out the By Far slingbacks for a few of Jude’s most popular and chic designs.

On Wednesday, Bell popped on a pair of the brand’s popular Fame pumps for a “Nobody Wants This” screening and conversation at 92NY in New York. She opted for the heels in the semi-sheer black mesh style, which feature an almond-toe pump with a curved, dagger heel measuring four inches.

The shoes are made from polyester with a lamb leather trim. For the event, she paired the mesh shoes with a full Rosetta Getty Bias look, which consisted of black Cut Wide Leg Pants and a black Lace Panel Camisole.

The pumps retail for $540 and are available in eight different colors, like brown, white, blue, red and beige, and in a variety of materials, including suede, brushed and croc embossed leather. The actress also wore the shoes to the “Nobody Wants This” season two premiere at The Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles on Oct. 16.

She paired the shoes with Alex Perry‘s Bikini Wrap Asymmetric Dress in a bright red satin crepe material. She returned to the shoes for two separate press days that week, pairing them with two Frankie Shop looks: an all black and an all-red ensemble.

For an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” at SiriusXM Studios on Tuesday in New York alongside her costars Tim Simons, Justine Lupe and Adam Brody, Bell went for the Jude Faith pump in black leather. The high heel pump is made from soft, creased leather and features an ultra-dainty, barely-there gold chain ankle strap.

The heels feature an elongated, tapered square toe that gives the shoes character. The unique curved heel, measuring around four inches, gives the classic silhouette an interesting edge. The shoes retail for $620 are available in an eye-grabbing brown python leather and a rich cacao suede leather.

To celebrate the show being available to stream on Netflix on Thursday, Bell stopped by for an interview on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” She continued her Jude streak, trading out pumps for boots. She was a vision in an olive green look by Simkhai, opting for the Abilene Mixed-Media Midi-Dress.

The dress, which retails for $765, features a mixed-media design, including a knit crewneck bodice and a faux-leather pleated skirt. The dress features a buckle belt that adds a modern twist to the long-sleeve style, and gives the illusion that it’s a separate shirt and top ensemble instead of a dress.

She paired the look with Jude’s Memo stretch-leather boots. The knee-high boots featured a block heel measuring three inches. The shoes featured a closed pointed toe with a slightly squared tip. They retail for $750 on the brand’s website and are available in brown, suede, and an ankle boot style.

Jude was established in 2024 by Jurgita Dileviciute and Denitsa Bumbarova, who both have extensive backgrounds in designing footwear and accessories. Their shoes’ aesthetic blends modern minimalism with classic styles that are designed to be subtle enough for everyday wear but with a twist thanks to the footwear’s unexpected details.

Each shoe is crafted in Portugal using premium Italian and French leathers. The designer shoes’ popularity has been heating up among celebrities as of late, with stars like Sarah Paulson, Ayo Edebiri, Chloë Grace Moretz, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Kim Kardashian, Gabrielle Union and more supporting the brand.
