Zoe Saldaña is now, officially, a Cartier ambassador
It's the ambassadorship that you might've seen coming months ago. The French jeweller Cartier has just welcomed Academy Award-winning actress and producer Zoe Saldaña, officially, into its orbit as an ambassador of the maison.
'I am honoured,' says Saldaña in a press release, 'to become an ambassador for Cartier, following many years of warm collaboration.'
This year alone, Cartier selected the actress to front the global debuts of new high jewellery designs on the red carpets of events like the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. At the Oscars, she wore the Panthères Versatiles, a transformable piece with a 10.10-carat Zambian emerald that was one of the highlights of Cartier's Nature Sauvage high jewellery collection. And at the Golden Globes, Saldaña wore the Melis, a radiant suite of yellow diamond high jewellery. On both occasions, the Parisian jewellery maison's creations accompanied Saldaña's triumphs: her first Oscar and Golden Globes wins. After a season of career-high wins in 2025 at the Oscars and Golden Globes decked in Cartier jewels, it will come as little surprise that Zoe Saldaña is now an ambassador for the maison.

Saldaña has, in the past, also worn one of Cartier's most audacious and unconventional designs. For the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, she collaborated with Cartier on an outfit-slash-jewel that was a highlight of the glitzy night: a bespoke chainmail cape crafted from 67,000 hand-assembled yellow gold links, with faceted onyx pendant drops, gold zips, and 150 diamonds set into the design. 'I have long been an admirer of the maison's boundary-breaking savoir-faire that creates incredible pieces of wearable art, and I look forward to continuing this special relationship,' shares Saldaña of her experiences with Cartier.
Award season and its standout jewels may be over for now, but Zoe Saldaña has a slate of projects lined up and in the works that mean we will surely be seeing her decked out in Cartier jewels again soon enough. Her starring role in James Cameron's Avatar film series will include three more films, the latest of which is Avatar: Fire & Ash that's slated for a December release this year. Here's one star whose future red carpet looks we will be anticipating.
