Zoe Saldaña continued to celebrate her awards season success with her littlest loved ones by her side.
The actress, 46, attended the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Wednesday, February 12, with her three children – twins Cy and Bowie, 10, and son Zen, 8. The boys were the spitting image of their mom while posing with her for red carpet photos.
Saldaña sported a sparkling black sequin dress for the event, where she was honored with the American Riviera Award for Outstanding Achievement in American Film for her performance in Emilia Pérez. She completed her look with a braided ponytail and accessorized the hairstyle with a black bow.
Her sons complemented her monochromatic look with little black tuxes of their own, which they wore over white dress shirts and T-shirts. Two of the boys wore white sneakers, while the third donned a pair of black dress shoes. While Saldaña pulled her long locks up, her kids let their hair flow.
Zoe Saldaña and her family are overjoyed by her new title: Oscar nominee. The actress, 46, posted rare photos of her three children — twins Cy and Bowie, 10, and son Zen, 8 — via Instagram on Thursday, January 23, after she was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her work in […]
Saldaña shares her kids with her husband, Marco Perego-Saldaña, whom she wed in 2013. She was all smiles while walking the red carpet with her sons, smiling and laughing as one of the boys made a silly face.
The foursome were not joined by Perego-Saldaña, 45, at Wednesday’s ceremony. He attended the 2025 Critics Choice Awards with his wife earlier this month, though he had a hilarious reason for nearly missing her win for Best Supporting Actress.
“My husband’s back from the bathroom. He literally went to the bathroom,” she quipped at the beginning of her acceptance speech.

Saldaña’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival and Critics Choice Awards wins are just two of the many accolades she has received for her role in Emilia Pérez. Last month, she scored another Best Supporting Actress win at the 2025 Golden Globes.
