Selena Gomez looks leggy as Zoe Saldana takes the plunge at Emilia Perez screening in LA

BBG News

As I delve deeper into the captivating world of cinema, I find myself utterly spellbound by Zoe Saldaña’s journey and her latest role in “Emilia Pérez.” Her performance as an unappreciated lawyer seems to be a deeply personal and cathartic experience for her.

At the DGA Theater Complex in Los Angeles, during The American French Film Festival on Tuesday, Selena Gomez and her co-star Zoe Saldaña from Emilia Pérez harmonized their style in Little Black Dresses while attending a screening of their movie.

Selena donned a dress that was a wrap style, extended to her ankles, showcasing a high split at the thigh, and paired it with patent leather slingback heels chosen by stylist Erin Walsh.

Looking at the 32-year-old Emmy nominee’s slimmer appearance in 2024 compared to 2023 has definitely fueled speculation that she might be using the popular weight loss drug, Ozempic.

Hairstylist Renato Campora coiffed Gomez’s side-parted raven bob for the opening day festivities.

Jenna Nicole, a skilled make-up artist, expertly sculpted the high-profile individual’s facial features using contouring techniques and added her signature long-lashed, dewy-eyed look along with a pretty pink lip gloss.

In Jacques Audiard’s upcoming musical movie, set to premiere in selected theaters this Friday and stream on Netflix starting November 13, Selena portrays Jessi Del Monte, a former wife of a transgender Mexican cartel leader.

In an interview with the LA Times on Tuesday, Gomez expressed that he found Jessi’s tale particularly captivating. He added that he sensed a strong desire within her to forge her own path and become independent.

I wasn’t entirely sure about the production process of this movie, but I had a strong feeling that it was going to be nothing short of amazing.

Emilia Pérez already scored a ‘certified fresh’ 84% critic approval rating (out of 96 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.

In the meantime, Zoe (originally known as Zoë Yadira Saldaña Nazario) opted for an elegant look, wearing a long-sleeved see-through blouse paired with a ruffled maxi skirt and two distinct necklaces chosen by her stylist, Petra Flannery.

Hairdresser Mara Roszak styled a sophisticated updo for the 46-year-old woman who is both Dominican and Puerto Rican, drawing attention to her striking earrings.

Make-up artist Vera Steimberg defined Saldaña’s brows and applied a bold red lip on her.

The producer-star portraying the overlooked character Rita Moro Castas a lawyer has remarkably taken the top spot on The Hollywood Reporter’s list of potential nominees for Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars.

‘My mom sang me lullabies in Spanish,’ Zoe recalled to the LA Times on Tuesday.

The body maintains its own tally. I found myself longing for a sense of home that I had been missing. I wasn’t intentionally seeking out a film similar to ‘Emilia Pérez’ or a character like Rita, but I felt a strong pull towards it. In a way, the role in ‘Emilia Pérez’ turned out to be therapeutic for me.

Saldaña ensured to strike a pose alongside the ‘Texican’ pop star and also their co-star, Karla Sofía Gascón, who played both Emilia Pérez and Juan “Manitas” Del Monte in the Spanish-language movie.
