James Van Der Beek was ready to rage at Us Weekly‘s annual Hot Hollywood style party at Hollywood’s Emerson Theatre Apr. 18. “I’m just looking forward to having a night out with my wife,” the honoree said of Kimberly, whom he married in 2010. “That’s enough for me.”
The Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt. 23 actor said he was flattered to make this year’s list, which also features Mindy Kaling and Kristen Bell. “This is fun. I like it,” Van Der Beek told Us. “It’s better than being on the Cold Hollywood list! That party’s no fun at all.”
The Office‘s Ellie Kemper, meanwhile, revealed that she was excited to meet fellow honorees Rich Sommer, Jay R. Ferguson, Ben Feldman and Aaron Staton. “I’ve been told that some select few men from Mad Men will be here, so I’m excited to see who those men are,” the Lisa Ho-clad star said.
Supermodel Chrissy Teigen — also an honoree — wowed wearing an emerald Balmain mini. “I’m going to harass James Van Der Beek,” John Legend‘s fiancee joked on the red carpet. “I’ve been a fan for a long time!”
Gabriel Mann was particularly excited to be honored at the star-studded event. “Just as a guy to sort of be recognized a little bit for the way you dress, it feels really good,” the actor admitted. “I have a lot of fun with fashion in general and it’s something that’s added another level to my character in Revenge.”
