Zoe Saldaña made a stunning appearance at the Met Gala, accompanied by a stylish ensemble of Chloé-clad women that included Sienna Miller, Greta Gerwig, Emma Mackey, and Chloé’s own creative director, Chemena Kamali. The group, resembling a chic modern girl band, captured the essence of solidarity and style as they joined hands and posed in a harmonious palette of neutrals on the red carpet.
This year’s theme, “The Garden of Time,” celebrated the Costume Institute’s exhibit “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” and Saldaña truly embodied this motif. Dressed in a sheer nude gown accented with a bold gold belt that proudly displayed the Chloé logo, Zoe exuded a sense of effortless elegance. The outfit was masterfully put together by her longtime stylist, Petra Flannery, who has been collaborating with Zoe for nearly two decades. “Every event, every outfit, is always a great experience,” Saldaña shared with enthusiasm.
The actor’s look was completed with brown boots and her hair styled in loose waves by Aviva Perea and Cassie Russek, while makeup artist Vera Steimberg added the perfect touches to enhance Zoe’s natural beauty. Saldaña expressed a deep connection with Kamali’s designs for Chloé, stating they made her feel “beautiful in my own skin; safe and comfortable in my body,” a testament to the power of clothing that resonates with one’s self-identity.
As Zoe Saldaña prepares for a busy season on the red carpet, with her musical crime comedy, Emilia Perez, set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, she took a moment at the Met Gala to celebrate fashion and friendship. Behind the scenes, her preparation for the event was a collaborative effort that focused on creating a look that complemented the simplicity and elegance of the dress. “Vera always surprises me with her wonderful makeup. I can be feeling all sorts of blue, and she always manages to make me smile with what she puts on my face,” Zoe reflected on the process.
The star also shared a candid insight into her personal moments during the gala, including a favorite photograph that captured her feelings about the night: “I absolutely love this pic. It embodies my interpretation of what Chemena’s latest collection for Chloé made me feel.”
Zoe Saldaña’s Met Gala appearance wasn’t just a display of high fashion; it was a showcase of her personal growth and confidence, wrapped in the elegant designs of Chloé, proving once again that true style comes from wearing one’s authenticity with pride.
