After wrapping up the carpet, Bell slipped into a white tuxedo with a silk shawl collar blazer and straight-leg pants to open the show. This tailored menswear-inspired look was her first of the night. She changed into a black silk notch tuxedo, which she wore with a dazzling necklace and drop earrings, to close out the ceremony.

At one point in the night, she also rocked a second gown that was entirely different from her first, as it was embroidered with black sequins to complement the blue and black beaded skirt, which was splashed in an abstract print.

A red carpet pro and seasoned SAG Awards attendee, Bell knows what it takes to pull of a major style moment — even if that includes some not-so-glamorous work behind the scenes.

Before the show, theSnacks and Bio-Hackspodcaster posted a too-relatable video to her Instagram Stories that showed her topless and shaking her booty in a surprising undergarment.

“Hey quick question, do you ever come right back from Mexico and have to go to an award show?” she began the clip. “Try a pull-up underneath your dress.”

The cheeky look may not have actually been from beforethisawards show — it appeared to be from Golden Globes night — but it was relatable all the same and showed just how cut out for the hosting gig she truly is.

Before taking the stage, Bell spoke with PEOPLE exclusively about thegravity of hosting an awards showfollowing thesweeping wildfiresthat Los Angeles has been recovering from since the devastating events began on Jan. 7 in the Pacific Palisades region.

“It felt very superfluous to have an awards show,” she said. “I felt, ‘We should cancel all of the awards this year and donate all of the money!’ "

But, she continued, “I realized, ‘Wait a minute. If you cancel the awards shows, you are canceling, hundreds of hundreds if not thousands of jobs for people in Los Angeles who need them.' " She added: “Gig workers, musicians, hairstylists, makeup artists, drivers, caterers, tech workers — it’s actually imperative to the economy of rebuilding that we have these awards shows.”
