Zoe Saldana stunned in London as she continues to generate Oscar buzz for her role in Emilia Pérez.
The actress, 46, plays lawyer Rita Moro Castro in the Netflix movie and is currently in London promoting the movie.
She worked her magic in a cinched leather jacket paired with a sheer tiered skirt that displayed her legs as she attended a photo call for her film alongside her castmates at the Corinthia Hotel.
It comes as Gold Derby predicted Saldana is currently most likely to win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the movie.
Nominees for the elite honors have not yet been announced but already Saldana and others have been generating awards buzz for their performances this past year.

Variety previously reported that Saldana and her co-star Selena Gomez will pursue Oscar nominations in the supporting actress category while Karla Sofía Gascón will contend for a lead actress nomination.
Gold Derby isn’t the only publication envisioning a Oscar nomination for Saldana.
She is currently ranked number one on a list of predicted nominees by Variety, with her Emilia Perez co-star Selena coming in at fifth.
Certainly the star was a winner on the fashion front as she posed with her Emilia Perez co-stars during a photo call for their film in London.
During her moment in the spotlight, Zoe worked a bold red lip and edgy black manicure.
Her hair was stylishly slicked back into a low bun with several loose tendrils elegantly billowing by her complexion.
Adding a dazzling touch were jewelry by Anita Ko.
Zoe was joined by her Emilia Perez co-stars Adriana Paz, Selena, Gascón, and the film’s director Jacques Audiard.
The film’s plot reads on IMDb: ‘In Mexico, a lawyer receives an unexpected offer to help a feared cartel boss retire from his business and disappear forever by becoming the woman he’s always dreamed of being.’

Emilia Perez first premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival back in May, where it competed for the Palme d’Or.
The project eventually won the Jury Prize during the festival, while the female ensemble won the Best Actress award.
In August, the musical crime comedy was released in theaters in France – and is slated to become available on Netflix in the U.S. and U.K. starting on November 13.

The movie was also selected as the French entry for Best International Feature Film for the upcoming 97th Academy Awards.
Despite being a huge Hollywood star, Zoe recently admitted she still had to audition for her role in Emilia Perez as the director was unfamiliar with her.
The star made those comments during the 47th Mill Valley Film Festival in San Rafael, California on Saturday.
‘He didn’t offer me the part, I had to audition for him,’ she said during a panel which DailyMail.com got a front row seat to.
‘I had to audition for my role. I wish Selena [Gomez] were here because she would tell you the same thing, she had to audition for the part,’ added the A-list star.
When asked if the director knows who she was she said, ‘He knows and he doesn’t know. If you go to his apartment he has one chair and like 3,000 books so if you are not in any of those books he probably doesn’t know you are.’
