The silky avant-garde look from Balmain’s spring 2025 collection featured a pale purple top with a plunging scoop neckline and frayed edges, a hot pink cummerbund, and a red skirt with exaggerated hips and a thigh-high slit. The head-turning dress was complete with front-flap pockets.
As for shoes, Saldana slipped into a pair of glamorous black Saint Laurent sandals boasting rhinestone-encrusted buckles adorning the toe and ankle straps. The open-toe shoes boasted a silk upper with an adjustable ankle strap and a high stiletto heel measuring approximately 4.3 inches.
