Yahoo Lifestyle Zoe Saldaña’s Best Red-Carpet Looks Through the Years
Zoe Saldaña has been in some of the highest-grossing films of all time, from Avatar to Avengers: Endgame, so she knows the pressures of a big red carpet. However, the stylish New Jersey native makes it all look easy, with her versatile style that alternates between stripped-back and wonderfully dramatic.
Since she burst onto the scene at the turn of the century with her feature film debut in Center Stage, Saldaña has proven herself a fashion force to be reckoned with. The actor is not afraid of a sparkly embellishment or saucy cutout, and she has her brands that she loves, from Givenchy and Saint Laurent to, more recently, Chloé.
Ahead, see Saldaña’s complete style evolution, from her early days of acting (remember when she starred in Crossroads alongside Britney Spears?) to her most recent award show circuit for the critically-acclaimed Emilia Pérez.
