Zoe Saldana's Margiela Moment: NAACP Image Awards 2025 • CelebMafia

Actress experiments with avant-garde grey Maison Margiela couture at the NAACP Image Awards, continuing her relationship with the fashion house.

Maison Margiela’s influence on the red carpet shows no signs of waning, with Zoe Saldana making her third appearance in John Galliano’s creations this awards season. At the 56th NAACP Image Awards in Pasadena, the actress opted for an experimental grey haute couture piece that sparked mixed reactions among fashion enthusiasts.

The dress, a study in contrasts, featured oversized polka dots paired with cascading ruffles and a dramatic bustle—quintessential Galliano elements that speak to the house’s avant-garde DNA. Yet this particular creation seemed to miss the mark that her previous Margiela moments so effortlessly hit.

The monochromatic palette, while sophisticated, lacked the visual impact we’ve come to expect from both Saldana and Galliano’s collaborations. Her choice of Christian Louboutin x Maison Margiela Tabi pumps—though on-brand—appeared slightly oversized, creating an unexpected distraction from the ensemble’s overall effect.

As the partnership between Saldana and Margiela continues to evolve, this look serves as an interesting deviation from their typically triumphant red carpet appearances.
