Zoe Saldana was the picture of elegance in a Salvatore Ferragamo design at the San Francisco International Film Festival.  She wore a gray strapless minidress with beading throughout the right side.  It had a deep-V neckline and beautiful draping in the bodice.  The embellishment gave it a ton of texture and personality.  She accessorized with black high heels and a cocktail ring.  Her makeup was flawless and neutral, and her hair was pulled back in a polished bun with side-swept bangs.  

Zoe Saldana kept it sweet and sexy in a leather J. Mendel dress at the Audi and J. Mendel event to celebrate the start of Golden Globe Awards week.  The actress wore a strapless mini-dress with beautiful frontal draping and ruffles.  The light grey color gave it a clean aesthetic, and the gorgeous details were ultra feminine even in leather.  Her shoes were of a burgundy hue that gave her look a pop of color.  The clutch was burgundy as well with ornate embellished details.  Zoe’s stylist had done her homework and paid attention to details;  the look fully complemented the red carpet backdrop. 

Zoe Saldana wore Burberry to the Children’s Defense Fund’s 10th Annual Beat the Odds Awards in Beverly Hills, the program honors high school students who overcome adversity with academic excellence.  The actress selected a black mini-dress that was sheer on top and had gorgeous satin layers throughout; that gave it a strapless effect.  It was a simple and classic shape with updated design elements.  She accessorized with a pair of black platform high-heeled pumps, minimum jewelry – hoop earrings and a ring.  Her hair was pinned up in back with two center-parted pieces falling in front.  Zoe’s look was elegant and very lady-like on the red carpet, and appropriate for the event. 

Actress Zoe Saldana gives us a behind the scenes look at her Calvin Klein Envy shoot.  The actress talks about staying in shape and being mentally fit, that’s apparently her secret to looking so fabulous on the red carpet.  She also talks about feeling sexy and being comfortable in her skin, so comfortable that she would appear in her underwear.  Who wouldn’t when the camera is like your best friend forever?

Zoe Saldana is sexy, yet slightly demure in her new Calvin Klein ad campaign.  The actress strikes a relaxed pose in her underwear ad for the Envy line.   Trust that the fashion house would design underwear that’s sleek instead of fussy; that’s keeping in line with their ready-to-wear aesthetic.  Saldana was the right choice for this line, the name says it all.  You can bet women all over the world would love to look like that in their underclothing.  Though it might be cliche, it appears nothing can come between her and her Calvins.

The Met Gala is practically a fashion show on the red carpet, and it did not disappoint last night.  The bold-named and the beautiful came out in large numbers last night.  Many were dressed and accompanied by some of the biggest names in fashion.  We compiled a list of the best dressed.  Let us know if you agree. 

1. Sarah Jessica Parker is always at home on the red carpet.  The actress looked stunning in her Halston Heritage gown last night.  Her pleated gown maintained the design integrity of Halston while staying true to SJP’s personal style.  Her hair and accessories played the perfect supporting role to the dress.

2. Marion Cotillard went Hollywood glam in her Dior gown.  She sparkled like a star from head-to-toe.  The be-jeweled neckline and her hair in beautiful soft waves completed the look. 

3. Zoe Saldana was sleek and sexy in her one-shoulder Calvin Klein gown.  The beaded black dress was stunningly simple while adorned with only a few accessories.  It proves that sometimes the understated makes just right statement.

4. Anne Hathaway was Cinderella in her strapless Valentino gown.  Her diamond necklace went perfectly with the brilliant sequins surrounding the bodice and full skirt.  Hathaway was definitely the beautiful princess last night.

5. Jessica Alba channeled Old Hollywood with her hair, makeup and that gorgeous dress designed by Sophie Theallet for GAP.  Satin can be a very tricky fabric because it can make you appear larger, but Alba was trim and svelte last night.  That’s because of the expert draping of the designer and the actress’ figure.  Jessica Alba has donated her gown for auction and all proceeds will go to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in support of The Costume Institute Gala Benefit.
