On April 10, 2017, at the Tokyo press event for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 held at Brillia Running Stadium, Zoe Saldaña delivered a fashion moment that captured the experimental edge of late-2010s press-tour dressing—anchored, as always, by deliberate footwear.

Appearing alongside director James Gunn and co-stars Dave Bautista and Chris Pratt, Saldaña chose a voluminous ruched blouse with matching black mesh polka-dot trousers from Loewe’s Fall 2017 collection—an important season for the house under creative director Jonathan Anderson, where dark romanticism, craft-driven texture, and theatrical proportion redefined Loewe’s modern identity.
Another celebrity fan of the collection is Emma Stone, who wore black “Carioca” sandals from Stella Luna with a color-block dress from Loewe’s Fall 2017 collection at the 45th American Film Institute Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute to Diane Keaton.

Classic black Christian Louboutin pumps grounded the outfit’s dramatic proportions.
This restrained choice balanced the ensemble’s futuristic texture with timeless structure—underscoring how thoughtful shoes can steady even the boldest silhouettes.

Just days earlier, Saldaña marked a more personal milestone—shifting from press-tour spectacle to a moment of quiet recognition in Hollywood.
Zoe Saldaña Marks a Career Milestone at Madame Tussauds in Relaxed Roland Mouret
On April 7, 2017, in Hollywood, Zoe Saldaña marked a personal career milestone by unveiling her wax figure at Madame Tussauds Hollywood, accompanied by her mother and her husband, Marco Perego.

For the occasion, the Star Trek Beyond actress opted for a deliberately relaxed silhouette from Roland Mouret’s Spring 2017 collection, pairing the brand’s ‘Cartwright’ off-the-shoulder ribbed-knit top with navy printed wide-leg trousers.

The understated styling offered a contrast to her more directional press-tour looks—demonstrating how proportion and ease, rather than spectacle, can define a moment of quiet significance.
