Zoe Saldana Wore Saint Laurent To The 2025 Oscars

It’s Oscar night—the grand finale of awards season, the night where Zoe Saldana is widely expected to take home that gold statue for Emilia Pérez. A career-defining moment, no doubt. But was her dress just as defining?

After weeks of nothing but Saint Laurent black, we all had one simple request: give us something different. And on that front, Anthony Vaccarello delivered. Gone is the black, replaced by a stunning burgundy hue that flatters her beautifully. But the silhouette? That’s where things get tricky.

I’ll be honest—I had to sit with this one for a while. It wasn’t the knockout I expected for such a monumental night. The Cartier necklace, in particular, feels like an unnecessary distraction. And the more I think about it, the more I wish she had saved her SAG Awards dress for tonight and swapped them around.

While this is a gorgeous look, I don’t believe it’s the right one for tonight.

Thanks for Gaurav Dey for pointing out that this was inspired by look 60 from the Saint Laurent Spring 2022 collection.
