Zoe Saldana Goes Super Tall in Black Leather Knee-High Platform Boots at Saint Laurent’s Fall 2025 Show
Zoe Saldana is sticking with Saint Laurent. The actress has kept a close relationship with the Paris-based brand for the past year. Saint Laurent Productions produced “Emilia Perez,” for which Saldana reigned triumphant on the awards circuit this year, ultimately nabbing the Academy Award.
In addition, she’s one of the faces of the brand, appearing in one of its recent campaigns. So the star did her duty and appeared at the brand’s show on Tuesday to watch Anthony Vaccarello’s latest collection.
For the event, Saldana wore a pair of second-skin platform boots. The shoes were made of black leather and reached up to her knee. They also included a side zip as well as a rounded, square shaped toe. The leather was tight on Saldana’s leg, conforming to its shape.

Most prominently, the boots included a thick, chunky platform. The block heel was also cut thin but wide, which accentuated the silhouette. It likely measured around six inches, a height that is often nearly impossible without a platform.
The shoe was markedly different than what Saint Laurent showed on the runway. The label presented a selection of sharp and shapely single-sole heels. Some boasted thin, curved stilettos with slight flares at their base. The heels of others were straight but also pin thin. The shoes were largely slingbacks and some included an origami satin flower embellishments on the vamp. The toes were cut closely around the silhouette of the foot, curving in before coming to an elongated, sharp point.
That isn’t to say that Saint Laurent is averse to a platform: Saldana notably wore the company’s satin La Scandale heel throughout awards season. That shoe includes a stacked platform as opposed to the inset platform of the boot she wore on Tuesday. She wore a red version of that open-toe style to the Critics Choice awards and a black version to the Golden Globes.
