Actress Elizabeth Banks recently celebrated her 50th birthday in a truly epic fashion. Taking to Instagram, Banks shared a video showcasing her unique way of commemorating the milestone. Dressed in a stunning golden catsuit, the Hunger Games star posed for photos while exuding both glamour and laughter.
In the video, Banks playfully emerges from a cascade of golden streamers, teasingly asking her followers, 'Who wants to see my birthday suit?' She then dramatically tosses the streamers aside, revealing her eye-catching head-to-toe metallic gold bodysuit.
Rather than striking sultry poses, Banks opts for hilariously funny expressions throughout the shoot. Despite attempting to emulate a seductive stance, her comedic timing shines through as she deliberately portrays a sense of discomfort and playful awkwardness. At one point, she even lifts her leg while wearing cozy fuzzy slippers.
In addition to her playful antics, Banks also showcases her flexibility with a high jump, almost reaching a full split in mid-air. The video cleverly zooms in on her comical facial expression during the jump, adding an entertaining touch.
However, her flexibility didn't seem to aid her in the process of getting into the catsuit. Several shots depict the actress struggling to put on the outfit, laughing as she tries to squeeze her head through the opening. She refers to it as 'the original catsuit,' suggesting its significance in her celebration.
Banks captioned the photos with 'Birthday suit ?? #50.' She also mentioned that her attire was inspired by 'the best to ever do it,' though she didn't reveal the person's identity.
Celebrity friends couldn't resist joining in on the fun and took amusing guesses at the inspiration behind Banks' golden ensemble. Comedian Jimmy O. Yang playfully suggested 'Gold member or Goldfinger, possibly Golden Hawn??' Actress Julianne Moore and journalist Katie Couric wished her a happy golden birthday, with Moore referring to her as a 'golden ??,' and Couric playfully calling her 'hot stuff ????.'
Last year, Banks spoke to PEOPLE about her mindset on aging, expressing a desire to embrace the process gracefully while focusing on her mental well-being. She explained that feeling confident and taking care of herself are vital aspects of aging gracefully.
Despite turning 50, Elizabeth Banks proves that age is just a number, showcasing her vibrant spirit, delightful sense of humor, and effortless ability to bring joy to her fans. Her golden birthday celebration serves as a reminder to embrace life with enthusiasm and not take ourselves too seriously.
