As part of the American French Film Festival, Gomez and Saldaña, who plays Emilia Pérez, attended a screening of their film on Tuesday at the DGA Theater Complex in Los Angeles wearing identical LBDs.
Selena was dressed in a wrap dress with long sleeves and a thigh-length slit. The patent leather slingback shoes she wore were selected by her stylist, Erin Walsh.
The 32-year-old Emmy nominee is said to have jumped on the Ozempic bandwagon after noticing the drastic changes to her figure between 2024 and 2023.
For the opening night event, hairstylist Renato Campora styled Gomez’s side-parted raven bob.
The verified billionaire’s makeup artist, Jenna Nicole, applied her doll-like eyelashes, glossy pink pout, and full contouring.
In Jacques Audiard’s musical, Selena plays Jessi Del Monte, the ex-wife of a transgender Mexican drug lord. The film releases in theaters this Friday and will be accessible on Netflix on November 13.
“I was certain that I was intrigued by Jessi’s narrative.”I could feel that itch from her to break free and be her own person,” Gomez told the LA Times on Tuesday.
“I had the feeling that this movie would be fantastic, even though I had no idea how it would be made.”
On Rotten Tomatoes, Emilia Pérez has already received a “certified fresh” rating from 84% of the 96 reviews.
While this was going on, Zoe (born Zoë Yadira Saldaña Nazario) wore a sheer long-sleeved shirt over a ruffled maxi-skirt and two necklaces that stylist Petra Flannery chose for her.
The woman, 46, is half Puerto Rican and half Dominican. Mara Roszak, her hairstylist, created a stunning updo for her that complemented her bold earrings.
Vera Steimberg sculpted Saldaña’s brows and gave her a striking crimson lip.
The Lioness producer-star’s portrayal of underappreciated lawyer Rita Moro Castro has earned her a spot at the top of THR’s list of Oscar candidates for best supporting actress.
Zoe told the LA Times on Tuesday that her mother was the one who sang her songs in Spanish.
“The body thus maintains a record.” I had started to yearn for the feeling of home. I needed both, but I didn’t go out to acquire a Rita part and an Emilia Pérez movie. I benefited from being near Emilia Pérez.
In the Spanish-language film, Saldaña made sure to get a photo with the “Texican” pop sensation and their co-star Karla Sofía Gascón, who portrayed Emilia Pérez and Juan “Manitas” Del Monte.
The actress from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Selena always look closer when they are spotted together at a movie event.
Emilia Pérez, the French official nominee for the 97th Academy Awards, was screened on Tuesday with co-sponsorship from Netflix. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos was there to snap selfies.
