With her outfit at Comic-Con 2013, Zoe Saldaña hit two of the hottest fashion trends: jumpsuits and overalls.
Technically, Zoe Saldaña wore a jumpsuit, but depending on your vantage point, it could resemble overalls. The fabric is silky chambray, but because of the color, it could also look like super soft acid-washed denim.

Other stars who impressed at Comic-Con 2013 included Maggie Q in a daring black leather dress paired with lace-trimmed peep-toe booties, Jennifer Lawrence in a white wrap skirt and striped crop top complemented by Nicholas Kirkwood lace booties, Emilia Clarke in a red Christopher Kane dress with matching Charlotte Olympia ‘Debbie’ pumps, and Abbie Cornish in a crimson Hervé L. Leroux dress styled with black ALDO ‘Alysa’ embellished sandals.
Check out Zoe Saldaña in the most luxurious version of denim overalls. It’s by Balmain, which loves to make the most pedestrian items, such as holey t-shirts and safety pins, pass for haute couture.

So, did Zoe Saldaña’s outfit elevate chambray to couture status? With her confident styling and bold choice of a denim-look jumpsuit, she makes a strong case for turning casual fabric into high fashion.
As Zoe once said, “I like to look strong and commanding,” and this Balmain ensemble captures that perfectly—fierce, structured, and unapologetically fashion-forward.
She styled her denim jumpsuit from Balmain’s Resort 2014 Collection with Christian Louboutin ‘Vaquettababa’ peep-toe pumps and EF Collection jewelry.
