Zoe Saldana made her grand arrival at the highly-anticipated 2024 Met Gala in New York City on Monday.
The 45-year-old actress looked ethereal while modeling a stunning sheer beige dress from Chloé's Fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection teamed with a bold and gold cursive belt.
Paired with the flowing dress, which featured thin spaghetti straps and ruffles along the straight neckline, she rocked brown, over-the-knee boots.
Looking fairylike and dressed on theme for The Garden of Time, she joined her dazzling peers on the iconic Met steps for fashion's biggest night — which is dubbed Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion this year.
The Avatar: The Way of Water star was also seen leaving The Mark Hotel and arriving at the Metropolitan Museum of Art alongside a cavalcade of Chloé-clad celebrities— which included actress Emma Mackey, Barbie director Greta Gerwig, the luxury brand's creative director Chemena Kamali as well as Alfie alum Sienna Miller.

For this year's The Garden of Time theme, the squad of five all went for flowing fabric, effortless waves in their hair and soft makeup.
And straight out of a whimsical storybook, the Guardians of the Galaxy alum stepped out with a dewy and rosy makeup look paired with long beach waves.
Saldana looked radiant as she went for an understated look and accessorized minimally with various statement rings for her look.
In previous years, the star went for more dramatic looks and brought along her husband Marco Perego — who did not appear to be in attendance for her red carpet walk this year.
In 2016, Saldana went for a Dolce & Gabbana gown with a long, colorful train and even shared a smooch with her supportive beau on the red carpet.
For her very first Met Gala in 2006, she went for a strapless wrap corset top with a textured, A-line skirt.
And in 2010, she went for a sparkling, one-shoulder number covered in navy blue sequins.
She attended the 2011 Met Gala in a lime-green Calvin Klein column dress.
And in 2014, she went for a plunging Michael Kors dress with a voluminous, paisley-printed skirt.

The Costume Institute's spring exhibition falls on the first Monday in May every year and is held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This year, the event is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion while the dress code is The Garden of Time.
Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth are this year's co-chairs. Also on the committee is Vogue's Anna Wintour.
The honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.
'This year's co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,' Vogue shared.

The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute's permanent collection - with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again.
The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea, and sky.
'It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,' said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition.
'One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.'
Guests expected to attend include the Kardashians, Blake Lively, Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker and Timothee Chalamet.
Gwendoline Christie, La La Anthony and Ashley Graham are hosting while YouTuber Emma Chamberlain is expected to interview stars on the red carpet.
Last year's gala honored late designer Karl Lagerfeld.
