Greatly missed on the red carpet for last month’s Met Gala, Zoe Saldana returned to the world of high fashion, attending the 2012 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City last night.
Walking the red carpet alongside Prabal Gurung (in custom Antonio Azzuolo), Zoe showed off her slender figure in a slinky black gown with sheer panels from the designer’s Fall 2012 collection.
Zoe has the honour of being the first star to appear in this particular gown, and now that I’ve seen her, I cannot imagine anyone else doing it such justice.
The actress wisely chose to remove the shiny leather belt from the runway version, providing a sleeker, more romantic look.
Cartier jewels, slicked-back hair and smoky eye makeup are the perfect accents to this moody ensemble.
Zoe was the first celebrity to ever wear a Prabal Gurung dress and they continue to work so well together.

Incredibly beautiful. The one to beat this week!
Gorgeous! So soft and yet so daring, lovely.
I didn’t knew that she was the first to wear a Prabal Gurung dress. That really surprised me.
She looks great here.
I will never forget the red Gurung dress Zoe wore during the 2009 Star Trek promotional tour with killer — and I mean killer — heels. I believe this is the dress FC is referring to. FC featured it of course so if you search the RCFA blog or click back through the archives you will find it.
And ITA, she looks fabulous as does Prabal.
Yep, my first ever Prabal Gurung post http://www.redcarpet-fashionawards.com/2009/04/17/zoe-saldanas-star-trek-european-promotional-tour/
Ah, memories. Thanks to you, FC, I’ve come a long way in fashion knowledge from the day when I thought in response to this post “what’s a ‘prabal gurung’?”, lol.
she looks absolutely sensational!
she has a tiny tiny waist, so this dress is made for her
Wow this is such an amazing look! A wonderful collaboration between these two.
One of my favourite people on the red carpet! She looks incred!!
That is so lovely that Zoe was the first to wear Prabul Gurung. I love this look it is beautiful yet edgy and chic. I agree with you FC that not wearing the belt was a good move and that the next person to wear this has they work cut out.
Absolutely stunning. I know where my bdotw vote is going.
She is so beautiful love that Girl.. And the dress is just awsome..
Truely stunning.. this more than makes up for her effort at the Polo.
I HAVE MISSED YOU, ZOE.
Perfection!
+1
I love it. This look is a must for our BDOTW this week.
yay for the return of the red carpet queen!
She looks beautiful.
perfection
she is flawless.
They make a great team! Stunning from head to toe. BDOTW for sure.
Hello there flawless. She cant do wrong in my eyes. This woman is a Goddess!
She looks amazing. Between her & Sophia Bush BDOTW will be hard this week. Only a clutch would ahve made me love it more.
Prabal looks gorgeous, too. The photo of them together is just proof that life is simply not fair!
stunning
AMAZING! I am so excited to see her in a gown again. BDOTW worthy!
Wow – this is a stunning look. Absolutely BDOTW worthy!!
I don’t really love the dress, but she certainly can wear it.
Minimalistic perfection!
She looks stunning!
I’m the only dissenter, but as much as I love Zoe, I really dislike this dress. It’s very trashy Morticia to me. I realize that others see it differently but that’s all I can see. Her face is glowing, though.
Hmmmm…. I’d really love this dress if someone just cut off the sleves. There, I said it.
FC,
I know this was an old post. We all agreed no one will be able to do just to this Prabal Gurung gown once Zoe wore it. But today Deepika Padukone surprised everyone by wearing this for Filmfare Awards.
I think she looked as fab as Zoe if not more. Would love to see a feature on the same.
