Zoe Saldaña Gave Her Going-Out Look A Retro Flair With Statement Glasses

Believe it or not, Zoe Saldaña hasn’t attended the Cannes Film Festival in a decade. The last time Saldaña graced the Cannes red carpet was in 2014, when she appeared at multiple star-studded premieres. During her ten-year hiatus, she’s starred in hits like Guardians of the Galaxy and Avatar: The Way of Water, but none of them have brought her back to the iconic festival — until now. At the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Saldaña continues to style one Saint Laurent ensemble after another. Most recently, she chose an all-black skirt set coupled with statement glasses — marking the fashion muse’s fourth outfit from the atelier in just three days.

On May 20, before sitting down for a one-on-one interview at the Kering Women In Motion fête, Saldaña posed for photographers in the aforementioned black-on-black co-ord. Her latest Saint Laurent OOTD started with a lace off-the-shoulder bodysuit complete with semi-sheer panels along each side of the bodice. The Avatar star paired her sultry one-piece with a silk midi skirt embellished with a center slit, which she secured via a thick, gold-buckle belt — both courtesy of Saint Laurent. From there, Saldaña incorporated another see-through staple into her final ‘fit: a pair of the atelier’s Anja Pumps in black mesh.

And now some applause for her striking eyewear. While chic sunglasses are always a Cannes must-have (given the stars spend a great deal of time outside), Saldaña opted for a clear rim-less pair with lenses in the shape of a butterfly. She went without lots of jewelry — only gold hoop huggie earrings and her wedding band — so, these glasses gave her overall look a retro-inspired flair, without distracting from the A-lister’s other Saint Laurent pieces.
