Zoe Saldaña shared a look at one of her boldest outfits yet. The Dominican actress is evoking a dominatrix style in her most recent video promoting her new film, "Avatar: Fire and Ash," resulting in one of her sexiest looks yet.
The look was teased in a video teasing "Fire and Ash," which will come out in theaters this December. Saldaña and her bra straps are featured right before the start of the trailer, introducing a film that has been years in the making.
As she addresses the camera, Saldaña is seen wearing a black top, with her leather bra straps unexpectedly becoming the star of the look. Saldaña is also wearing a matching leather top, giving her look a strappy and daring feel that was immediately eye-catching and perfectly in tune with the film she's promoting, which teases the arrival of a new part of the Na'vi people, boasting dark makeup and a more sinister vibe.
She completed the look with some gold hoop earrings and a tight and combed-back high bun.
Saldaña's commitment to James Cameron's vision
Zoe Saldaña has played a key role in the "Avatar" movies, becoming the franchise's most recognizable face and character. The project began almost 20 years ago, with the first film, and has expanded, with a new film coming out this year and two more movies planned to be shot in the following years.
Saldaña has spoken about motion capture acting, becoming a champion for the practice.“It gives us the credit, the ability to own 100 percent of our performance on screen,” she said, in an interview with Beyond Noise, making it clear that Oscars and other award bodies should consider and respect it as a form of acting.
“With animation, you might go into the studio for a few sessions; that’s as much as they’ll need you for the whole movie. You go into a studio, however you’re dressed, and you lend your voice, right? Performance capture means that ‘Avatar’ wouldn’t exist if Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, myself, and the entire cast didn’t get up and put those dots on our faces.”
“We put on that little unitard with all those dots on it, and step into a volume – that’s what we call the set – that’s rigged on the ceiling, with all these cameras in measured positions,” she said. “They’re all pointing into this space that finds us, and feeds that information into the system that is Pandora.”
Saldaña shared that the development of each Avatar film takes around seven years, requiring deep preparation from its actors, whether that's the physical side of things, like practicing archery and learning how to shoot underwater, or mental skills, like learning a new language. "That’s all us, and a group of incredible stunt actors that make our characters feel bionic," she said.
"With the technology that Jim creates, he gives the artist the power of complete ownership.”
