Zoe Saldaña’s 3D Floral Dress Is Truly The Perfect Way To Celebrate Avatar: Fire And Ash

Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) talks to Jake in Avatar: Fire and Ash.

Hype is building around the 2025 movie release Avatar: Fire and Ash, and for good reason. One aspect of James Cameron's film that's sure to get fans excited is his use of insane 3D effects. Early screenings are already calling it “visually superb!” So it feels very fitting that lead actress Zoe Saldaña decided to bring that 3D vibe to a Miami screening by way of her floral dress.

At the Miami screening of Fire and Ash, Saldaña's floral ensemble seemed to be truly eye-popping. The Oscar winner was all smiles as she greeted photographers, and she looked absolutely stunning. Check out her dress, which I wished was currently in my closet:

With her hands up in the air, the Guardians of the Galaxy actress certainly isn’t hiding her excitement, and I'm just hyped over her gorgeous floral gown. Straight from Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel collection, Saldaña’s plunging white dress features 3D flowers from top to bottom. It’s like looking at a landscape painting that's just too difficult to ignore.

The Emilia Perez actress isn’t simply just posing with her red carpet fashion either, but she’s showing off a living work of art that that's just completely unforgettable to me. Saldaña seemed to relish relish the Chanel gown, and she even celebrated the look with the Instagram post below:

Talk about flawless! I just love Saldaña’s poise in every photo. Whether she’s all smiles while striking a pose or turning away from the camera with a serene expression, she's showing all kinds of model behavior.

With Avatar: Fire and Ash being one of the biggest movies to end the year with, it's not surprising that Zoe Saldaña would want to bring her a-game with her fashion choices. So far, she's brought back floating shoulders at the Paris photo call and rocked a long, lacy white gown at the China premiere. Needless to say, she's been dressed to impress.

As for Fire and Ash itself, Saldaña's character, Neytiri, further evolves in the movie. Neytiri’s character arc takes a dark turn and will have her grappling with the death of her oldest son, Neteyam (as seen in The Way of Water). The “pain” Neytiri endures is expected to turn into rage that could not only affect her but also her family. As the presence of the Mangkwan clan poses a new threat, as well as her conflicting feelings about her adopted human son, Spider, there's going to be a lot going on in this threequel

Honestly, Zoe Saldaña’s floral dress feels symbolic in mirroring her character’s evolution. Or, at the very least, it feels like a sweet counterbalance to the use of fire that's been teased in this latest Avatar movie.

Of course, while we're talking about Saldaña’s attire, we also have to give flowers (sorry) to her stylists for keeping her looking so chic during this press tour. I'm curious to see what kind of outfits the A-lister breaks out next, especially as awards season ramps up. More immediately, though, be sure to see Saldaña’s performance in Avatar: Fire and Ash, opens in theaters on December 19th.
