Hot metal! Krysten Ritter glitters in gold top with sheer panels and smart trousers as she accepts Peabody Award for Jessica Jones

Krysten Ritter was a far cry from her scruffy character in Jessica Jones on Saturday. 

The 34-year-old got glammed up to accept a Peabody Award for the show during a star-studded ceremony in New York City.

Krysten highlighted her slender figure in a tight gold sequined top with daring sheer panels which flashed a glimpse of her toned tummy.

The actress teamed the embellished top with a pair of smart black trousers and matching heeled pumps.

Krysten's raven hair was styled in a ponytail and she finished off her look with frosted eyeshadow, winged eyeliner and a generous slick of red lipstick.

The beauty was joined by co-star Carrie-Anne Moss, showrunner Melissa Rosenberg, and comic book writer and Marvel Television's Executive Vice President, Jeph Loeb.

Krysten plays the titular character in Jessica Jones.

Sparkle and shine in an embellished jumpsuit like Krysten's

Krysten Ritter was a sight for sore eyes when she arrived at the Peabody Awards in NYC. The Jessica Jones star glammed it up on the red carpet in a Zuhair Murad jumpsuit. She teamed it with a pair of Pedro Garcia pumps and bright red lipstick.

The brunette beauty decided to forego a stuffy gown for this sophisticated one-piece and we're enamored with her choice. Gold embellishment adorned the mesh bodice while it was all business from the waist down with black straight leg slacks.

If you're looking for a little style inspo for your next big event, take a page out of Krysten's style book and rock a sparkly metallic jumpsuit. Just keep jewelry to a minimum and makeup natural so as not to look too fussy and overdone.

Her jumpsuit is now sold out so get one in its likeness from the gallery below. How about a beaded bodice by Parker or a splurge on Lanvin's bow embellished beauty at Barneys?

The Netflix show was praised by critics following its first season, which also starred David Tennant as baddie Kilgrave and Mike Colter as Luke Cage. 

Mike will reprise the character not only in Jessica Jones's second season but also in spin-off series Luke Cage, which is set to air later this year,

What's more, Krysten and Mike are joining forces with Charlie Cox, who plays Daredevil in the show of the same name, and Finn Jones, who will portray Iron Fist, in ensemble show The Defenders.

The Defenders is in pre-production and likely to be released in 2017. 

The two spin-offs leave little time to focus on Jessica Jones itself, and Bloomberg recently revealed that the second season of the show won't begin production until next year. 

Before attending the Peabody Awards on Saturday, Krysten was at Vulture Festival, where she gave a hint about what to expect next season.

'[Kilgrave] was her reason for getting up at 3 o’clock in the afternoon,' she joked, according to EW. 'She spends most of the show trying to get him into prison.

'She doesn’t want to kill him, but that becomes her only choice. I don’t think all that trauma and PTSD goes away now that she kills him.'

The series won a Peabody Award from the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication along with two other Netflix shows: Master Of None and Beasts Of No Nation.
