Zoe Saldana reminded us of the timeless versatility of a pair of sheer black tights teamed with delicate heels as she stepped out at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars party after her epic win at the awards show.
The actress. who secured the Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress in Emilia Pérez at the star-studded ceremony, looked incredible as she arrived for the coveted after party, hosted by Vanity Fair.
Swapping her deep maroon custom Saint Laurent ceremony gown for something a little more fun and flirty, Zoe arrived at the A-lister bash in a ruffled high low mini skirt in a pretty peach hue, teamed with a capsule wardrobe staple in the form of a super simple long sleeved black body.
While the billowing train on the back of her skirt and oxblood red belt made a majorly glam statement, it was her pared back combination of sheer black tights and delicate strappy heels that we really admire.
