113 Reasons Why Zoe Saldana's Style Is Out of This World

Zoe Saldana's been flying high on our fashion radar for a while now — and after years of sartorial observation, we're convinced the actress and humanitarian can do no styling wrong. In the beginning of her acting career — how could we forget Center Stage? — the Dominican and Puerto Rican beauty worked the red carpet in belly-baring tops and bohemian skirts. Since then, Zoe has refined her style with sophisticated silhouettes and edgier accents from the likes of good friend Prabal Gurung, Givenchy, Balmain, and Elie Saab. From casually cunning daywear to ultrasleek evening gowns, Zoe excels at injecting her cool-girl style into every look she dons.

In honor of her birthday, we're taking a look back at her impressive fashion résumé.
