\n\tZoe Salda\u00f1a brought one of Pieter Mulier<\/a>\u2019s clearest final Ala\u00efa<\/a> ideas onto the red carpet Saturday night, wearing an orange velvet look from the house\u2019s summer-fall 2026 collection<\/a> to the 12th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. The annual event honors achievements in life sciences, physics and mathematics, pulling Hollywood names into a room built around scientific prestige.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div><\/div> \t\t\t\t\tZoe Salda\u00f1a in Look 47 from Ala\u00efa\u2019s fall 2026 collection at 12th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony held at Barker Hangar on Saturday in Santa Monica, Calif.<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGilbert Flores<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tSalda\u00f1a wore the look with the kind of control that has defined much of her recent evening dressing, but this one had more interruption in it than her Oscars Saint Laurent or the sharply engineered Balmain<\/a> she wore during the \u201cAvatar: Fire and Ash\u201d run.<\/a> A clean, strapless bodice held close through the torso in saturated orange velvet, with a straight neckline that kept the upper half almost severe. From there, the line shifted.<\/p>\n \n\tInstead of dropping into a standard column or full skirt, Salda\u00f1a wore a lower half cut into asymmetrical layers and split panels that read somewhere between a draped overskirt and exposed tapered trousers. From the back, the shorter overskirt sat high and flared away from the body, leaving the longer underlayer visible through the center. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tZoe Salda\u00f1a attends the 12th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in orange velvet Ala\u00efa.<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFilmMagic<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tFrom the front, the velvet opened into cascading folds and uneven points that exposed one leg and then closed again around the other, giving the look more movement and visual tension than a traditional evening gown. She finished it with sheer black tights, black mesh pumps with pointed opaque toes and slim ankle straps, plus Cartier Geometrie & Contrastes jewelry. The look was styled by Petra Flannery.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tAla\u00efa Fall 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection at Paris Fashion Week<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUmberto Fratini\/Courtesy of Ala<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tThat tension between discipline and release sat at the center of Mulier\u2019s final Ala\u00efa outing.
