At the 2025 Golden Globes, Zoe Saldaña was one of the stars who stole the show. After all, in addition to winning the coveted Best Actress Award for her role as Rita in Emilia Pérez, she looked stunning in a sleek sequined Saint Laurent gown.
“My heart is full of gratitude,” she said as she took the stage to accept her award. “This is a first time for me, and I’m just so blessed that I’m sharing this with Selena [Gomez] and Karla [Sofía Gascón] and Jacques [Audiard] and all of my fellow nominees. I’m in awe of you.”
“All I have witnessed is just us showing up for each other and celebrating each other, and it’s just so beautiful,” she continued.
But while her red carpet look that night absolutely wowed, fans of the Guardians of the Galaxy star know that she’s been a red carpet icon long before the 2024 Emilia press tour. In fact, her most iconic looks span back to 2010, 2011, and so on.
