Zoe Saldana declares her Oscar to be gender-fluid with pronouns they/them
Hollywood actress Zoe Saldana is a bleeding-heart liberal, and she is not afraid to show it to the world. The actress has gone a step further, and has introduced her Oscar trophy as 'gender fluid'.
Earlier this year, the actress, 46, took home the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in 'Emilia Perez', which marked her first-ever Academy Award, reports 'People' magazine.
At the Los Angeles premiere of her latest movie on June 10, Elio, she revealed what the statuette has been up to since.
As per 'People', after Saldana was asked where she now keeps the award, the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star said, 'We have it in my office and my Oscar is gender fluid'. She also revealed a bit more about the shiny, gold statuette, adding that it's 'trans' and 'goes by they/them'.
In 'Emilia Perez', a Spanish-language musical and crime drama, the actress portrays Rita, a lawyer who is tasked with helping the movie's titular character (Karla Sofía Gascon) obtain a gender-affirming surgery to escape life as a cartel boss.
'Elio', meanwhile, centers around 'Elio, a space fanatic with an active imagination and a huge alien obsession', as per Disney. Saldana stars as Olga Solis in the Pixar/Disney film, which helps her get 'cool points' with her sons, she previously revealed.
'Since becoming a parent, incorporating what I do, my art, into a genre that caters to children has always been a great interest to me', Saldana said on Good Morning America earlier this month. 'And I get to relate to them, and I also get some mad cool points as a mom', she added during the appearance, 'my 8-year-old cannot wait for Elio to come out'.

Hailee Steinfeld's dreamy wedding dress leaves Josh Allen speechless in official wedding photo release
Hailee Steinfeld's dreamy wedding dress leaves Josh Allen speechless (Beau Society Newsletter and X) Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen are officially husband and wife—and their intimate Southern California wedding has finally been brought to light in the most romantic way. While the couple maintained a veil of privacy around their May 31 ceremony, Steinfeld broke her silence in the June 13 edition of her Beau Society newsletter, sharing dreamy details and elegant photos that instantly took over social media. Josh Allen's priceless reaction to Hailee Steinfeld's wedding dress Though hesitant at first, Steinfeld confessed she had been torn between 'wanting to share every detail and wanting to keep them close to [her] heart.' Ultimately, she chose to reflect on the moments she and Allen 'can't stop thinking about.' The ceremony took place in Santa Barbara, surrounded by their closest friends and family. The Oscar-nominated actress, styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, stunned in three show-stopping looks throughout the wedding weekend. For the ceremony, she wore a bespoke Tamara Ralph strapless corset gown with a sculpted neckline and circular train. The ensemble was paired with an ethereal French Chantilly lace veil, Mikimoto pearl earrings, and opera gloves so sheer, she noted, 'you can actually see my nail shape through the fabric (shout out Tom Bachik). ' Josh Allen, dressed in a custom Tom Ford tuxedo, couldn't take his eyes off his bride. 'Okay, Josh says we have to talk about my dress now because I 'stunned' him when I got to the altar,' Steinfeld wrote, calling the gown 'easily the most perfect' she's ever worn. What's more remarkable is how close the design came down to the wire. 'Six weeks before the wedding, my mom and I flew to Paris straight from the Sinners premiere in London for the fitting,' she shared. 'I really had to lean into the whole 'trust the process' thing.' The last-minute hustle paid off: 'On our wedding day, when I put on this dress, I actually lost my breath. I've never felt more like myself and more beautiful. ' Her pre-wedding look—a white sculpted gown with beaded bodice and a silky blazer—was equally eye-catching, while the reception outfit dazzled with sparkle, feathers, and a dramatic low back. She completed the party-ready vibe with glittery stilettos and joyful energy. The couple jetted off on their honeymoon the very next day. 'Now we're back, and it's been a whole 13 days of being married, and we'll be staying on this high forever!' she gushed. As for Allen, his most cherished moment wasn't a touchdown but tying the knot. 'None other than marrying my best friend,' he told reporters at a press conference. 'She makes everything easier… that was the most important decision I'll make in my life, and I made the right one.' From the fashion to the feelings, this wedding was pure storybook romance—elegant, heartfelt, and unforgettable.
