Selena Gomez exuded chic elegance as she joined Zoe Saldana at the screening of Emilia Perez in New York City. Both stars showcased their impeccable style at the event, with Gomez embodying a sophisticated look that captivated attendees. The screening brought together notable figures in the industry, highlighting the film and its talented cast.
Selena Gomez, 32, known for her song “Wolves,” was spotted outside the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City alongside Avatar actress Zoe Saldana, 46. The duo took on leading roles in the upcoming Spanish-language film Emilia Perez, which is set to be available on Netflix in the U.S. and U.K. starting November 13.
Gomez recently faced criticism from fans for giving a homeless man a $20 bill, but she remained unfazed as she joined Saldana at the event.
Selena Gomez enhanced her monochromatic outfit with closed-toed black heels and carried a black YSL purse in her left hand while navigating a bustling sidewalk in New York City. Her dark locks were parted in the middle, cascading down past her shoulders in soft waves.
Gomez kept her accessories minimal, opting for dangling earrings and a few statement rings. Her makeup featured a classic look, including mascara and thin black eyeliner, complemented by a warm blush on her cheekbones for a radiant glow, and a darker nude tint on her lips for the finishing touch.
Zoe Saldana also made a fashionable statement in a black and white dress with sheer fabric on the upper portion. The Guardians of the Galaxy actress layered her ensemble with a long black Fendi coat and completed her look with closed-toed white pumps.
Zoe Saldana styled her brunette hair in elegant waves, parted in the middle and cascading down past her shoulders. She accessorized her look with a few rings but opted not to wear any other flashy jewelry.
Saldana arrived at the hotel in SoHo, flashing a cheerful smile and waving to fans waiting nearby. In Emilia Perez, Selena Gomez takes on the role of Jessie, while Saldana portrays Rita, alongside co-stars Karla Sofia Gascon, Edgar Ramirez, and Adriana Paz.
The film’s premise, according to IMDb, is: “In Mexico, a lawyer receives an unexpected offer to help a feared cartel boss retire from his business and disappear forever by becoming the woman he’s always dreamed of being.”
Emilia Perez premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May, where it competed for the Palme d’Or and ultimately won the Jury Prize, with the female ensemble awarded Best Actress. After its theatrical release in France in August, the musical crime comedy is set to debut on Netflix on November 13.
Emilia Perez has been selected as the French entry for Best International Feature Film at the upcoming 97th Academy Awards. Selena Gomez previously shared her thoughts about the film and her role during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in September.
In the interview, she expressed her gratitude for the strong bond she shares with her fellow castmates, stating, “I’m so grateful to have women around me that lift me up in every way. And yes, I have a special connection with these women.” She emphasized the importance of their supportive dynamic, saying, “We’re also happy for each other and we cheer each other on, and I love that. That can be rare.”
Zoe Saldana also commented on the camaraderie among the cast, stating, “I think that the award that we all received in Cannes was only possible because of the collaboration and camaraderie that we had.” She noted that while everyone had their own individual journeys, the collective support from the beginning was “palpable,” adding, “And for that to be seen and recognized? It’s really nice.”
Recently, Selena and Zoe participated in the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations event in NYC to discuss Emilia Perez. They were joined by Karla Sofia Gascon for a photo session and engaged in a panel discussion on stage, highlighting their experiences and the film’s impact.
