As for her glam, Saldaña’s hair was styled with sleek waves by Aviva Jansen Perea. Her makeup featured a bold brow and hint of a smokey eye with a soft lip by artist Vera Steimberg. Saldaña’s look was curated by stylist Petra Flannery, who’s also collaborated with Amy Adams and Reese Witherspoon, among others.
Saint Laurent is a designer Saldaña turned to over the course of her promotional tour for “Emilia Pérez.” The actress previously wore looks by the French luxury fashion house to the Los Angeles premiere of the film on Oct. 21 and for a special screening of the film in London on Oct. 12.
Saint Laurent’s connection with “Emilia Pérez” goes beyond its stars wearing designs from the French luxury fashion house. Anthony Vaccarello, who’s served as the creative director for Saint Laurent since April 2016, participated in the film’s costume design, with Saint Laurent Productions coproducing the film, directed by French filmmaker Jacques Audiard.
“Emilia Pérez” chronicles the story of Rita played by Saldaña, a lawyer who helps a notorious cartel boss, played by Gascón, who was assigned male at birth and dreams of becoming the woman she was meant to be, disappear. The film is available to stream on Netflix.
