Kristen Bell Wore the Fall-Ready Dress Style That Reese Witherspoon and Kelly Clarkson Recently Pulled Off

Not quite ready to say goodbye to dresses for the year? Take a note from Kristen Bell and slip into a sweater dress.

The star of The Good Place wore a form-fitting black knit dress from the L.A.-based label Staud on Instagram that showed exactly why they make excellent additions to a transitional wardrobe. The thicker material makes them better for chillier temperatures than the tennis dresses you've been wearing all summer, and the buttons that span the actress’ dress allow you to uncover more of your skin if you get too hot.

She's not the first celebrity we've seen break out button-down dresses in the last few weeks. Reese Witherspoon opted for a shorter-length sleeveless knit dress that had a summery vibe, while Kelly Clarkson wore one with long sleeves on her talk show. Oprah even wore a maxi-length knit dress at the end of February, showing the style can be used during the winter-to-spring transition, too.

Feeling inspired by Bell's post, we picked out a few dresses at Amazon that matched her sleek look.

This breezy striped dress has more of a vacation look than the one Bell was wearing, making it a great fit for the remaining days of summer. Otherwise, the neckline, body-hugging fit, and top-to-bottom buttons are very similar to hers. “The fabric is comfortable, has stretch, and the design is flattering,” wrote one thrilled customer. “I love how I can [style] it with heels and accessories for a more dressed-up look, or dress it down with sneakers and a denim jacket for a casual outing.”

The Drop Jaxon Rib Button-Down Sweater Dress

Get the chic look Bell’s solid black ribbed dress gave her with this option from The Drop — Amazon’s exclusive line that keeps giving us great closet staples. This dress has a collar and long sleeves, which makes it even better for the chillier months to come than the Veronica Mars star’s dress. It’s got a snug fit and can easily be worn by itself or under a jacket at the office.

The buttons on this knit dress only go to about your navel, making it a great pick to pair with a leather belt that matches your boots on a day of apple picking. It also comes with its own matching belt you can tie into a knot. Buyers say the snug fit of the dress depends on how curvy your figure is, but a lot of them agree it’s flattering.

“This dress is extremely comfortable and made with quality material,” wrote one shopper who said it also works as a maternity dress because of its stretch.
