Elisha stepped out wearing a pair of beige heels while keeping her accessories to a minimum.
The actress opted for a radiant makeup palette for the evening, while her blonde tresses fell to her shoulders in loose waves.

Elisha opened last month about how she felt she had “no choice” but to pose for racy spreads to promote her films in the early days of her acting career.
The Canadian-born beauty added that she’s not sure how the pictures, which are still circulating online, will affect her children.
“That’s it [film] Studio wanted you to do that,” Elisha continued in an interview the Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson Podcast.
“I mean, Halle Berry did it, for God’s sake…Jennifer Aniston did it. We were probably too young to be exposed to it and felt pressured to do it.’
The mother-of-two, who shares Zaphire, four, and Fable, six months, with husband Dion Phaneuf, said she’s concerned about how the images will affect her children, noting how heavily they’ve been airbrushed.

‘That’s weird’: Last month, Elisha opened up about how she felt she had ‘no choice’ but to pose for racy spreads to promote movies in the early days of her career (pictured in 2002) .
“I have to explain that to my kids. That weird, bizarre outfit and the hair extensions,’ Elisha said.
“I was in my early 20s. I wasn’t bad looking, but I was good looking [like] the? I don’t even know if the fantasy is real.”
Throughout her career, Elisha posed for the likes of FHM and Maxim, landing on a number of “hot girl” lists at the time.
Shrugging off the attention, she said: “It’s not like I’ve won an Olympic medal. It was just a list that any magazine made.
“When someone reads my bio, these things come up. They don’t really say anything about me as a person or my career.’
The Canadian star is best known for her role in the 2004 teen comedy The Girl Next Door, which sees a teenager fall in love with his new neighbor, a former porn star.
She has also appeared on shows such as The Ranch with Ashton Kutcher and 24 with Kiefer Sutherland.
She was previously dubbed TV’s most beautiful woman by Maxim readers, but said at the time she was concerned about how her Happy Endings co-stars Casey Wilson and Eliza Coupe would react to the news.
“To think that one person could be the most beautiful when there’s Kaley Cuoco, Sofia Vergara, Zooey Deschanel? They’re all gorgeous,” Elisha told Maxim at the time.
“But I’m not going to argue with anyone about it. I will accept it with grace. But being on a show with two other beautiful women will make going to work very uncomfortable.
