Zoe Saldaña’s Kids Made a Rare Appearance on the Red Carpet (& I Can’t Get Over the Resemblance)

Good genes run in the family

Zoe Saldaña is on a roll, thanks to Emilia Pérez. The actress already won the 2025 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress, and she’s in the running for an Oscar. And now, she just proved that her award-winning genes have been passed down to her kids. 

This week, Saldaña attended the 2025 Santa Barbara International Film Festival with her three sons, 10-year-old twins Cy and Bowie and 8-year-old Zen. And I can’t get over the resemblance between the 46-year-old actress and her kids.

Both Cy and Bowie inherited the actress's gorgeous hair, her expressive eyebrows and her warm smile. On the other hand, Zen was more of a mix between Saldaña and her husband, Marco Perego-Saldaña. However, there was no denying the similarities to his mom and brothers. 

Saldaña was sporting a navy blue form-fitting sequined gown by Thom Browne and styled her hair in a ponytail (complete with a big bow). The three boys were wearing matching suits that they can grow into for years to come.

Saldaña’s kids rarely accompany her to red carpet galas. Maybe they’re finally old enough to appreciate the events. Or perhaps they wanted to cheer on their mom, who received the American Riviera Award for Emilia Pérez at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

The actress and her husband have been married since 2013. The couple met on a flight to New York and tied the knot that same year (seriously). 

Fingers crossed for more family outings in 2025.
