She worked her signature red-carpet silhouette — a short, fitted dress — in a cobalt lace Stella McCartney number from the Fall 2012 collection, which she wore with matching Barbara Bui pumps. While this loud monochrome look isn't ideal for every day, you can draw inspiration from it by adding pops of cobalt to your color palette. If you're color-shy, you don't have to wear it head to toe like Kristen did. You can sport one or two pieces, like a cobalt lace tee with cobalt flats, or a cobalt blazer to liven up an all-black ensemble. Shop our favorite cobalt pieces below to revitalize your wardrobe like Kristen did on the Kids' Choice Awards orange carpet.
