We know she was a tough teen in Veronica Mars but we don't think of Kristen Bell as much of a dangerous dresser.

The sweet blonde star typically steps out in pretty florals and pastels that compliment her peaches and cream complexion. But apparently she's looking for all that sweet stuff to change. This Pamella Roland halter looks like it belongs on Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez or even red carpet risk taker Rihanna!

We're not sure if it's the embellished top, see-through bottom, or gaping hole around the boobs (or C. all of the above!), but Mrs. Dax Shepard looks like she's trying way too hard to dress like her sexy Showtime series self. Unfortunately, this black tie goth gown is having the opposite effect. Kristen looks like she's playing dress up in some fiercer female's clothes.

We're not saying the new mamma doesn't look hot in her surprisingly style move, we're just saying she looks nothing like the plucky TV detective we know and absolutely adore.
