Zoe Saldaña Steps Out for Rare Red Carpet Appearance With Her 3 Mini-Me Kids

Watch:2025 Golden Globes: Zoe Saldaña Details Epic Girls’ Night With ‘Emilia Perez’s Selena Gomez

Zoe Saldaña turned her latest red carpet outing a family affair.

The 46-year-old brought along her and husband Marco Perego-Saldaña‘s three sons, twins Cy and Bowie, 10, and Zen, 8, with her to the 2025 Santa Barbara International Film Festival Feb. 12. For the event, Zoe wore a long sleeve, navy, sequined Thom Browne gown, while the kids wore matching suits with no ties.

In addition to joining her on the carpet, the trio were also in the audience to cheer on their mom as she was honored with the American Riviera Award for her performance in Emilia Pérez.

The festival appearance marked a rare red carpet event for Cy, Bowie and Zen, whose parents largely keep them out of the spotlight.

However, as the Avatar actress has celebrated her new Netflix film—which she stars in alongside Selena Gomez and Karla Sofîa Gascón—her family has been by her side. This includes a full family outing at the premiere of Emilia Pérez at the National Museum of Cinema in Marco’s native Italy, where their mom received the Stella della Mole award, in December.

And Zoe—who earned her first Oscar nomination for her role in the film—gave a heartfelt shoutout to her husband and their children at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards while accepting the award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the movie.

“Thank you to my family, especially my incredible husband, and my nephew, who is with me tonight,” Zoe said at the Feb. 7 event in Santa Monica, Calif. “To my boys, my greatest adventure and my toughest critics, I love you.”

In October, Zoe shared rare insight into her parenting, notably how she emphasizes to her and Marco’s sons the value of hard work.

“I’ve replaced, throughout the years, two very important words,” Zoe exclusively told E! News at Variety’s Power of Women event. “I used to tell them I have to go to work, and now I tell them I want to go to work.”

She continued, “I just feel like it teaches them that work is a part of life, and that if you’re doing things that make you happy, all you have to do is just share it with the people that you love around you.”
