Saldana, meanwhile, sported a wool Maison Margiela midi dress from the label’s spring 2024 collection. Her strapless frock featured peekaboo corsetry and a large rosette applique at the hip. The actress accessorized with a cropped oversize jacket, a leather clutch and a pair of Margiela’s trademark Tabis.

Saldana kept her makeup minimal, wearing brown eye shadow and a muted red lip liner.

Stylist Petra Flannery has worked with Saldana for more than five years, styling the starlet at events such as the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and the Venice Film Festival. Flannery also dresses A-listers like Reese Witherspoon, Emma Stone and Ellen Pompeo.
