Zoe Saldana and her husband of eleven years, Marco Perego, dazzled in matching black ensembles at the 10th Annual Breakthrough Prize event Saturday night in Los Angeles.
The 45-year-old actress was glowing in a black strapless dress that sparkled in the light with matching glossy heels.
Saldana’s makeup was lightly done, complimenting her red lips, and her brunette hair was softly curled.
The Avatar actress accessorized with circular earrings and she placed her left hand on her hip showing off her tattoos.
Perego, 45, donned a black suit as his blonde locks cascaded over his shoulders while he lovingly clutched his wife’s hand.

Just two weeks ago the pair sat down with Drew Barrymore as they spoke candidly about their marriage.
The 45-year-old actress said her film director husband is very amorous toward her.
‘It feels lovely, I have to say there were for many years when we first got married, it was hard for me to accept it,’ she said.
Zoe added, ‘There’s a part of us and women, you know, if our hearts have been broken before where we self-sabotage a lot and then one day you just wake up and you sort of go oh, maybe this is real.’
At one point, the 45-year-old director reassured his wife’s comfortability, leading to a sweet moment.
‘Maybe he really means to ask me if I’m comfortable. So I should just say thank you I am. And, the next step is asking him if he’s comfortable,’ she added.
She also admitted that they like to swim nude.
‘When we’re in Europe and in the Caribbean, sometimes we forget our bathing suits and we just go for like a swim,’ The Guardians of the Galaxy star admitted.
They then revealed their code word for when it comes to initiating intimacy to ensure others don’t catch on.
‘Oh God… and he just found a way to, to call sexy time like playing Legos naked,’ the mother-of-three said.
‘So then the boys, at least, you know, our older ones caught on and they were like, “Are you guys kissing? Are you guys gonna go play naked with your Legos?” And we’re like, “No, we’re not going to do that,” she laughed.
Marco added, ‘We can try. We play Lego naked now.’
Their relationship is bonded by something even more permanent.
The couple has tattoos of each other’s face on different places of their bodies.
She shared, ‘Oh my God, his is better. I have, I have his on my torso but because Marco looks like the Catholic version of Jesus Christo, of Jesus Christ.
‘Everybody thinks like, you know, whenever I get undressed around people, they’re like, “Are you very religious?” I’m like, “No, why” it’s like, “Well because you have a portrait of Jesus” and I’m like, “No, that’s my husband.”‘
Still, the couple finds time for each other – especially when it comes to walking red carpets together like Saturday evening.

Thrown at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles, the glittering prize event is held in honor of those who have made accomplishments in math and science, with each awardee getting $3 million, according to a press release.
But in spite of its focus outside of showbiz, the swanky gala reliably draws a cavalcade of A-list celebrities to troupe across the red carpet and hand out the prizes.
Hosted by James Corden, this year’s formal affair drew a formidable audience of boldface names, including none other than Elon Musk, Kim Kardashian, and Margot Robbie.
