We kind of like what Zoe Saldana wore to the Miami screening of Avatar: Fire and Ash, although we’re not sure if we actually like it on the merits or if we just appreciate that she’s been taking more risks with her style lately. After years of defaulting to the most generically minimal frocks she could get her hands on, she’s suddenly picking things with real shape and personality to them:

It’s funny. We’ve spent years proclaiming our dislike of black-backed florals but we can’t help thinking we’d like this more if it was a black dress. Something about the black, yellow and red embellishments look harsh to our eyes. It also feels like an odd dress for this time of year, although it’s certainly seasonally appropriate for Miami. The more we look at it, the more we realize that it’s everything below the knees that bug us. Those red flowers look like cheerleader pom poms. Still, it’s bold, bright and interesting, which is half the battle for any red carpet choice. Since these selections are dwindling as the holidays loom, this may be the last dress we get to put up to a vote this year, so let’s hear it:
