      If you were impressed by Nicole Kidman's complete Fendi outfit at the Lioness season three premiere but struggle to envision yourself in her semi-sheer attire, let us redirect your attention to her co-star, Zoe Saldaña.

With a plunging neckline, long sleeves, ruching at the waist, and a center slit, Saldaña's luxurious fall 2026 Balmain creation by designer Antonin Tron demands attention. Paired with a selection of Cartier jewelry, including a Panthère de Cartier ring and earrings, Saldaña's polished appearance demonstrates that little black dresses can be anything but dull; they can actually be quite striking.
