Zoe Saldana has a “harsh” and “aggressive” wardrobe.

The Avatar actress admits to being a bit of a tomboy and her clothing choices veers toward that side of her. She told Self, “I’ve never really been that feminine. Look in my closet and you’ll see things that are elegant, sexy, tomboyish, sophisticated, beautiful, aggressive. It’s harsh. It’s a lot of black. Pretty is the last word you would think of.”

Zoe - who also starred in Star Trek - said her take on fashion stood out against the bright Caribbean fashions of her native Dominican Republic: “The Caribbean is the most floral-happy culture in the world, and my sisters and I were like three little Jackie O’s with big sunglasses, reading all these sophisticated magazines and dressed in black at all times.”

Zoe does, however, occasionally wear bright colors and on a recent shoot picked out a floral dress which brought back fond memories for her:

“These florals tell a story. I was channeling that South Beach-looking-for-a-millionaire-husband-from-Switzerland kind of thing. I live in constant storytelling mode. Sometimes, I have to give myself permission to be pretty.”
