"I'm not a risk taker. I don't do plunging necklines or really short skirts. I try to stay as classy as possible and provide a little mystery"
About this Quote
“Classy” is doing heavy lifting here. It signals a preference for longevity over virality, and it gently flatters the audience: you’re invited to read her as tasteful, sensible, maybe even “safe.” That safety is strategic. Bell’s career has been anchored in characters and roles that depend on likability (rom-com rhythms, sitcom warmth, Disney sincerity). A scandal-ready style persona would be a different product line.
The most revealing phrase is “provide a little mystery.” In a fame economy that demands constant disclosure, “mystery” becomes a luxury item. It’s also a way to reclaim control: if the culture is going to look anyway, she’ll decide what remains unseen. The subtext is less prudish than pragmatic: attention is inevitable, but objectification isn’t. Mystery, here, isn’t coyness. It’s leverage.
