Much like her choice to don a daring Zuhair Murad dress that balanced elegance with a touch of edginess, Ritter’s journey in Hollywood has been defined by her ability to blend versatility with a distinct personal style.

Ritter’s Early Career Highlights: From ‘What Happens in Vegas’ to ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’

Eight years earlier, she starred in a supporting role as Kelly in the 2008 American romantic comedy film What Happens in Vegas.

The film was a box office success despite negative reviews from critics. Its U.S. premiere was on May 1, 2008, when Krysten Ritter was 26. She celebrated her 27th birthday on December 16, 2008.

The same year, she started filming the 2009 American romantic comedy Confessions of a Shopaholic. Ritter, who portrayed Suze Cleath-Stuart, the best friend of Isla Fisher’s character, was 27 years old when the movie premiered on February 13, 2009.

Isla Fisher celebrated her 33rd birthday on February 3, 2009, just a few days before the movie’s premiere.

Channeling Suze: Ritter’s Memorable Moments Filming ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’

While Suze is blonde in Sophie Kinsella’s popular Shopaholic series of novels, which you can buy on Amazon, Ritter was cast due to the strength of her performance.

“One day we were shooting outside of SCOOP NYC (a store in NYC’s Meatpacking District) and it was pretty windy. Of course I was wearing a schoolgirl-style skirt and I flashed all the background actors and paparazzi my bum'” Ritter told Seventeen about filming the movie.

“Luckily, they ran and got me some Spanx so it wouldn’t happen again. Oy vey — just what I need … pictures of my rear end on the Internet!”

At the 2016 Webby Awards, the then-34-year-old actress took the plunge at the event, flashing both décolletage and slender legs in a shimmering black mini dress from Zuhair Murad’s Fall 2015 couture collection.

She looked like a real winner in the long-sleeved silk crepe dress, which had a deep v-neckline, a thigh-grazing hemline, glittering silver lines, and star embellishments.

The “Jessica Jones” star took to the stage to accept the Webby Best Actress award from her co-star Mike Colter.

Winners were only allowed to present a five-word acceptance speech, and the actress kept it very brief, saying: “Thank you, thank you, thank.”

Krysten’s Head-Turning Accessories: Lace-Up Heels and Dazzling Jewelry

Krysten paired her star-spangled dress with lace-up heels that accentuated her legs. She completed the look with dangling earrings, a statement ring, and a crystal-embellished clutch for added sparkle. Her loose waves and bold red lipstick provided the finishing touches to her minimal makeup look.
