2 hours ago 2

Selena Gomez coordinated with her Emilia Pérez castmate Zoe Saldaña in LBDs at a screening of their film during The American French Film Festival, which was held at the DGA Theater Complex in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Selena wore a long-sleeve wrap dress, featuring a thigh-high slit, with patent leather slingback heels selected by stylist Erin Walsh.

A glimpse at the 32-year-old Emmy nominee's shrinking figure in 2024 versus 2023 has certainly sparked rumors she's hopped aboard the trendy Ozempic train.

Hairstylist Renato Campora coiffed Gomez's side-parted raven bob for the opening night gala festivities. 

Make-up artist Jenna Nicole fully contoured the certified billionaire's complexion and applied her doe-like lashes and glossy pink pout.

Selena stars as Jessi Del Monte, a transgender Mexican cartel leader's ex-wife, in Jacques Audiard's musical film hitting select theaters this Friday before streaming November 13 on Netflix.

'I knew specifically Jessi's story was enticing for me...I could feel that urgency from her to break free and be her own person,' Gomez told the LA Times on Tuesday.

'I kind of was like, I don't know how this movie is going to be made, but I knew that it would be something spectacular.'

Emilia Pérez already scored a 'certified fresh' 84% critic approval rating (out of 96 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.

Meanwhile, Zoe (born Zoë Yadira Saldaña Nazario) took the plunge in a sheer long-sleeve blouse over a ruffled maxi-skirt as well as two different necklaces selected by stylist Petra Flannery.

Hairstylist Mara Roszak coiffed an elegant updo on the half-Dominican, half-Puerto Rican 46-year-old, which accented her statement earrings.

Make-up artist Vera Steimberg defined Saldaña's brows and applied a bold red lip on her.

For her performance as unappreciated lawyer Rita Moro Castro, the Lioness producer-star has impressively topped THR's list of best supporting actress Oscar contenders.

'My mom sang me lullabies in Spanish,' Zoe recalled to the LA Times on Tuesday.

'So the body keeps score. There's a recognition of home that I had started yearning for. I wasn't actively pursuing a film like Emilia Pérez and a role like Rita, but I needed it. Emilia Pérez was a medicinal experience for me.'
