London: Zoe Saldaña captivated attendees at the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards, winning Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Emilia Pérez.” Her striking black sheer lace gown from Saint Laurent highlighted her Gothic-inspired style, further cementing her influence in high fashion during the awards season.
Zoe Saldaña made a striking statement at the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards held at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, February 16, 2025, where she received the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the film “Emilia Pérez.” The actress captured attention on the red carpet in a dramatic black sheer lace gown from the French luxury brand Saint Laurent, styled by Petra Flannery.
The gown featured a prominent collar that elegantly framed Saldaña’s décolleté, emphasising her Gothic-inspired aesthetic. Saint Laurent also played a significant role in the film’s visual identity, having co-produced “Emilia Pérez,” with many of the film’s costumes drawn from the archives of the brand’s creative director, Anthony Vaccarello.
Saldaña’s choice of attire continued a trend of high-fashion appearances throughout her promotional tour for the film. At the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, she wore a striking backless red dress from the same label. Continuing with her collaboration with Saint Laurent, she dazzled at the Golden Globes in a sequined dress that featured a plunging neckline and an accompanying billowing cape. During the Los Angeles premiere of “Emilia Pérez,” Saldaña presented a dramatic strapless gown with a voluminous fuchsia bodice and a slim black skirt equipped with pockets.
In addition to her appearances in Saint Laurent, Saldaña showcased her diverse style by donning high-end designer pieces from other labels. On February 13, 2025, she attended the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, embracing a glamorous family outing as she arrived accompanied by her three sons, all dressed in sharp child-sized suits. Saldaña wore an eye-catching sequined dress by Thom Browne, which she accessorised with black pointed-toe heels and Yeprem jewellery.
Two days later, Saldaña made a guest appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in an edgily designed black faux leather sheath dress from Sportmax, complemented by Christian Louboutin pointed-toe heels with an ornate heel design. Earlier in the month, at the London Film Critics’ Circle Awards on February 3, she opted for an ensemble from Maison Margiela’s Artisanal couture fall 2022 collection.
The acclaim for “Emilia Pérez” has been noteworthy in recent awards circuits, as the film not only earned Saldaña the prestigious BAFTA award but also secured the title of Best Film Not in the English Language at the same ceremony, along with winning the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. These achievements underscore the film’s significant impact within the industry and Saldaña’s essential contribution to its success.
