Zoe Saldana took a brief pause from her ‘Emilia Pérez’ press tour to attend the 2024 Academy Museum Gala, and her look didn’t go unnoticed.
Wearing a bold design from Harris Reed’s Spring 2025 collection, Zoe traded her recent string of red-carpet looks for something much more daring and dramatic. The result? One of the most intriguing, and likely divisive, looks of the evening.
Known for their love of architectural corsetry and theatrical silhouettes, Harris Reed designed a gown that felt almost like wearable art. The combination of draped white lace and black velvet created a striking contrast, while the peplum corset highlighted Zoe’s frame with precision. The gown’s most unexpected element, however, was the design on the skirt, which some may compare to the iconic Ghostface mask from ‘Scream’. Whether you see it as a playful nod to pop culture or simply avant-garde couture, there’s no denying that this look commanded attention.
After a series of more understated choices on the red carpet, particularly early in her press tour, it’s refreshing to see Zoe tapping into a bolder, more experimental side of fashion. The edgy sophistication of Harris Reed’s design felt like the perfect match for this moment—pushing boundaries without sacrificing elegance.
To complete her look, Zoe wore REZA Jewelry, adding a refined touch to her ensemble.
While the gown may not be for everyone, it’s undeniable that Zoe’s willingness to embrace something unique is what made this moment stand out.
