Shining star! Elizabeth Banks sparkles in bejeweled tank top and zipped-up jumpsuit at pre-Emmys bash

Elizabeth Banks brought some glitz and glam to a pre-Emmys party in West Hollywood on Thursday.

The 42-year-old sported a dark blue navy jumpsuit which was topped off with a fitted black tank top featuring jewels in various shades of blue. 

Elizabeth's fitted frock clung to her toned waist as it fanned at the front as she posed up a storm at the Audi pre-awards show party.

The Pitch Perfect star's sexy frock was topped off with a pair of black heels as she dressed up the number with dangling earrings. 

Her blonde hair was slicked back into an ultra edgy yet chic 'do which drew attention to her radiant and transfixing features. 

The star had on ample mascara as to show off her light eyes while candyfloss pink lipstick and blush rounded off the effect. 

Meanwhile, Elizabeth earlier in the summer spoke of the harsh truth of ageism in Hollywood, revealing that she has been turned down for roles for being 'too old'.

In a video or the UK edition of Glamour, the multi-talented celebrity explains: 'I screen-tested for the role of Mary Jane Watson in the first Spider-Man movie, opposite Tobey Maguire.

'Tobey and I are basically the same age - and I was told I was too old to play her.' 

But while Elizabeth accepts she will be judged on her age, she doesn't intend to retire any time soon.

'I was like, 'Oh, OK, that's what I've signed up for'.

'What I'm grateful for now is longevity. I was never a flavour of the month. I feel very comfortable that I will be working in this industry for a while.' 

Meanwhile Elizabeth has recently been filming for next year's Power Rangers movie, in which she will portray Rita Repulsa, and is also reprising the role of Gail in Pitch Perfect 3. 

The mother-of-two initially signed on to direct the film, but pulled out of directing in order to spend more time with her family.
