The cast of ‘Emilia Pérez’—Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldana, and Selena Gomez—presented the Variety Artisan Award during the TIFF Tribute Awards on Sunday evening, where they stepped out with colour-coordinated looks. Though each actress brought her own distinct style, their ensembles were harmonized in a monochromatic palette, offering a striking visual impact on stage.
Let Down By The Styling
Karla Sofía Gascón’s choice of a Balmain black and white halter dress had all the potential for a standout moment. The structured, intricate detailing of the dress was unmistakably chic. However, the white blazer she wore over it dampened the impact of the look. Compared to Snoh Aalegra’s styling of the same dress with a cropped black blazer during Balmain’s Fall 2024 show, Karla’s addition of the white blazer overwhelmed the beauty of the dress, taking away powerful lines and architectural beauty.
Breaking Her Black Dress Streak
Zoe Saldana, known for her minimalist black dresses, pleasantly surprised me with a custom Fendi white silk jacquard dress. The elegant simplicity that has become her trademark remained intact, but the light colour and luxe fabric added a new dimension to her usual style. The real surprise was her choice of statement earrings, a deviation from her typical understated accessories. The ensemble was an effortless mix of classic Zoe elegance with a fresh, elevated twist.

Winter Elegance in Saint Laurent
Selena Gomez undoubtedly stole the spotlight in a black velvet long-sleeve dress by Saint Laurent, accented with bold feather details. The look evoked a wintery vibe—more “winter is here” than “winter is coming”—exuding grace and sophistication. The feather details added a touch of drama to the otherwise sleek and elegant dress.
