“My mom raised my sisters and I with a strong sense of self. [My mother] always said, ‘Honey, there is nothing that a red lipstick and a pair of red shoes can’t heal, cure, or solve.’ And I absolutely believe that. They can get you out of anything, even the biggest funk of your life.”
In Latino culture, hair carries a lot of history, a lot of weight, and a lot of energy. I always liked my hair. I never wanted to have any other skin but my own, any other hair but my own. Women who spend so much of their lives wanting to have something else miss out on learning to appreciate what they do have.
At some point I might just want to chop it all off and go really short. I’ll just wake up in the morning and, well … you know. [I want to] learn to enhance my other virtues, instead of depending so much on my hair.”
If I want to chop off my hair, I’ll take scissors and do one side before I even go to the hairdresser. It’s all about trusting my instincts. Plus, that way I can’t change my mind!
It’s been eight months since my last straightening treatment, and I’m going to let it all grow. It’s been a long time since I’ve woken up with my hair looking like an Afro. I can’t wait to have that again.
“She taught me that you don’t necessarily need to wear less to look sexy. You go through those phases where sometimes you feel super sexy and you want to wear something tight and short. We’re prone to tacky every now and then… [Petra] always makes me see it on another end, and you end up feeling so much sexier. We always choose class over anything else.”
On what she considers “tacky”:
“The trend of trying to dress like everybody else is the tackiest and most dishonest thing you can do to yourself. You suffer so much because you don’t ever really find your own true voice.”
On her style must-haves:
“I’m into jeans on jeans. There’s a Johnny Depp thing to it that I’m digging and I feel really sexy wearing it. Red lipstick will never go out of style. There’s no such thing as not pulling it off. My grandma taught me this. Every woman can pull off red lipstick; you just have to find the right shade. Red looks good on all of us. Nature made red for us.”
… says Zoe in an interview with Hollywood Reporter.
Zoe Saldana was a busy girls this weekend, as she attended 2 pre-Oscars events. Here are her style options: a dusty pink dress and a lace-animal-print number, both matched with red lipstick.
