Zoe Saldana put on a cosy display with supportive husband Marco Perego at Vanity Fair’s iconic after-party in Los Angeles, following her big win on Sunday.
The actress, 46, went braless underneath a sheer black bodysuit, teamed with a stylish pink satin ruffle skirt.
She completed the look with sheer black тιԍнтs and pointed heels, while accessorising with diamond drop earrings.
Meanwhile, Marco, also 46, looked dapper in a tuxedo as he pᴀssionately kissed Zoe on the cheek and posed for the cameras.
Zoe was moved to tears after winning her first Oscar for Netflix’s Emilia Perez, delivering an emotional speech.
The actress beat out Monica Barbaro (A Complete Unknown), Ariana Grande (Wicked), Felicity Jones (The Brutalist) and Isabella Rossellini (Conclave) for Best Supporting Actress for playing Rita in the film.

She was driven to tears even on her way up to the stage, accepting the award from last year’s Best Supporting Actress winner – DaVine Joy Randolph from The Holdovers.
While she was clearly stunned to win, the tearful actress managed to thank many who helped her along this journey.
However, many noticed that one person she didn’t thank was her controversial co-star, Karla Sofia Gascon, who is also up for Best Actress.
Still, the snub wasn’t terribly surprising, since Saldana didn’t thank Gascon after winning a Critics Choice Award last month.
Saldana first thanked her mother, Asalia, adding, ‘Mami! My mom is here! My whole family is here.’
She added, ‘I am floored by this honor, thank you to the academy, for recognizing the quiet heroism and the power in a woman like Rita, and talking about powerful women, my fellow nominees, the love and community that you have offered me is a true gift, and I will pay it forward, thank you so much.’
She then thanked her director, stating, ‘Jacques, you are a beloved character in my life. Thank you for taking the interest, thank you for being so curious about these women to tell this story.’
Saldana added she is ‘sharing this award’ with her cast and crew of Emilia Perez, while also thanking Netflix’s Ted Sarandos and other executives.

She also thanked her, ‘kick a** team at CAA, my amazing managers and the lawyers and the powerful ladies at the lead company, thank you for always, always answering my emails late night.’

‘To my mom, my dad, my sisters, everything brave, outrageous and good that I’ve ever done in my life is because of you. Thank you so much. And to my husband, with that beautiful hair, you’re just — the biggest honor of my life is being your partner. You hung the moon and our beautiful perfect sons, they fill our skies every night with stars,’ she added.
‘My grandmother came to this country in 1961 — I am a proud child of immigrant parents. With dreams and dignity and hard-working hands, and I am the first American on Dominican origin to accept an Academy Award, and I know I will not be the last,’ she added.
‘The fact that I’m getting an award for a role where I got to sing and speak in Spanish, my grandmother, if she were here, she would be so delighted, this is for my grandmother. Thank you so much. Thank you,’ Saldana concluded.
The snub came after Gascon’s earlier social media messages came to light from 2020 and 2021 that were later deleted.
The posts included comments about Muslims in Spain, adding they would have to teach Arabic at Spanish schools instead of English.

She also tweeted about George Floyd, stating, ‘I really think that very few people ever cared about George Floyd, a drug addict swindler, but his death has served to once again demonstrate that there are people who still consider black people to be monkeys Without rights and consider policemen to be ᴀssᴀssins,” she posted. “They’re all wrong.”
Gascon has since deleted the tweets and apologized, with Saldana responding to the controversy in early February.
‘I’m sad. Time and time again, that’s the word because that is the sentiment that has been living in my chest since everything happened,’
‘I’m also disappointed. I can’t speak for other people’s actions. All I can attest to is my experience, and never in a million years did I ever believe that we would be here,’ Saldana said.
