“Heels of Envy: Inside Zoe Saldana’s Show-Stopping BFI Film Festival Look”
Our favorite green goddess, Zoe Saldana, set London ablaze last night at the “Emilia Perez” after-party during the BFI London Film Festival. And let me tell you, she was serving looks that could make even the Queen’s guard break their famous stoicism!
Let’s talk about those shoes, shall we? Zoe’s feet were adorned with a pair of Saint Laurent’s finest – a classic black heel that’s anything but basic. Picture this: glossy black leather that catches the light just so, with a square toe that’s sharp enough to cut through the noise of lesser footwear. The pièce de résistance? A delicate ankle strap that whispers of bondage but screams of elegance. While the stilettos may have been hiding, playing coy at about 2 to 3 inches, they lifted Zoe to new heights of glamour.
Fashion aficionados, take note: these stunners are dead ringers for Saint Laurent’s La Scandale patent leather heels. If you’re feeling flush with a cool $1,150 burning a hole in your Birkin, Saks Fifth Avenue will gladly relieve you of that burden. But fear not, my budget-conscious beauties, for the high street is awash with similar styles from the likes of Christian Louboutin, Amina Muaddi, Alaïa, and Aquazzura.
But let’s not neglect the rest of this fashion feast. Zoe was a vision in Saint Laurent from her flawlessly coiffed head to her impeccably shod toes. The pièce de résistance was a halter-style dress in a blue so deep it rivaled the Mariana Trench. Plucked straight from the fall 2024 collection, this little number hugged every curve before cascading dramatically to the floor. A belt cinched that enviable waist, while sheer black tights added a whisper of mystery.
Accessories, darlings, are never an afterthought. A scrunchie – yes, you read that correctly – graced Zoe’s raven locks, proving that the 90s revival is alive and well. A clutch, undoubtedly filled with beauty secrets we’d all kill to know, completed the ensemble.
It’s no secret that our Zoe is a fashion risk-taker, and this look was a testament to her sartorial bravery. Whether she’s navigating alien worlds or red carpets, Saldana’s choices are invariably chic and sleek. When the cameras are rolling, it’s all about those sky-high stilettos and mules from the crème de la crème of shoe designers – Louboutin, Piferi, and Jimmy Choo are her weapons of choice. But even off-duty, she doesn’t disappoint, often spotted in Maison Margiela loafers, Tamara Mellon boots, or Saint Laurent sandals that make running errands look like a runway show.
As we eagerly await the release of “Emilia Pérez,” Jacques Audiard’s Spanish-language French musical crime comedy (say that five times fast), we can’t help but wonder what other fashion moments Zoe and her co-stars Selena Gomez, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Édgar Ramírez will serve up. If this after-party look is any indication, we’re in for a treat that’s equal parts haute couture and high drama.
