Selena cut a business casual figure in a sleek black blazer over a matching top, teamed with a tie worn fashionably loose.
She brought the look together with high-waisted jeans and a set of simple black heels, wearing her dark hair down for her latest night on the town.
Zoe meanwhile slipped on a black v-neck sweater, tucked into her floor-length fossil grey skirt to emphasize her enviably svelte waistline.
With her hair teased into elegant waves, the Pirates Of The Caribbean actress brought out her luminous complexion with naturalistic makeup.
She added a subtle splash of glitz to the look with a glistening necklace and a couple of rings, rolling up her sleeves to give the ensemble a nonchalant air.
Karla, the first openly trans winner of the best actress prize at Cannes, opted for a black wrap blouse and a set of flowy silver slacks.

‘I remember being on set with Meryl Streep, trying to shoot her side so that she could go home and have the next day off,’ the songstress told Elle.
‘Toward the end of the day, she said: “Wait, no, why aren’t we turning around?” And they said: “Oh, we’ll do that tomorrow.” And she goes” “No, no, I must come in, I should be here for them.”’
The Come And Get It singer raved: ‘It was so classy and showed that she really still loved the craft and that she wanted to be there for us too. I’ll never forget her being barefoot, singing on set, just loving what she’s doing. I want that spirit, I want to always love what I do and be there for people.’
The interview was published hot of the heels of a raging internet controversy over her longtime boyfriend Benny Blanco.
Social media flew into a tailspin of shock when Benny featured inside People magazine’s famous Sexiest Man Alive Issue this year.
Although the cover star The Office heartthrob John Krasinski, the fact Benny was included at all was sharply polarizing on account of his looks.
He drew praise in some quarters for ‘redefining “sexy” with that humor and style,’ while others reacted with bewilderment.
‘Selena paid for this,’ joked one observer on X, formerly Twitter, while another wrote: ‘Benny blanco and sexiest man alive should never be in the same sentence,’ and a third quipped: ‘Did they throw a dart blindfolded to pick?’
