It's hard to believe that Kristen Bell was recently rocking a baby bump now that she's on the red carpet in this daring design, and it's equally hard to believe she once played a sloppily dressed teenage detective.

Right now, she's all old Hollywood royalty in a body-hugging Reem Acra gown. Naturally, we were drawn to that killer column first, but the House of Lies star's perfectly bouncy blonde bob wasn't far off. It's all very Marilyn Monroe 2.0.

Of course what makes this look so incredible is that dangerously placed cutout. It's tricky for the slightest stars to pull off, but this new mom rocks it like she wasn't carrying a child around that same area less than a year ago! We also love the contrast between the stomach slice on the left and the shown-off shoulder on the right. Simple jewels keep the focus where it belongs on this beauty.

Now we're even more excited for the Veronica Mars movie, and we didn't think that was humanly possible!
