Actress Zoe Saldana graces the July 2015 cover of InStyle Magazine, looking summer ready in a blue Dolce & Gabbana dress with Dior Fine Jewelry. The star of the upcoming Nina Simone biopic talks to the magazine about her husband taking her last name, post-baby body and having a mixed-race family.
On her husband taking her last name:
âI tried to talk him out of it. I told him, âIf you use my name, youâre going to be emasculated b your community of artists, by your Latin community of men, by the world.â But Marco [Perego] looks up at me and says [she puts on a cute Italian accent], âAh, Zoe, I donât give a sheet.ââ
On her post-pregnancy body:
âI donât want to get back to where I used to be. I want to feel healthy, and not just fit into the old jeans I used to wear. Iâm a woman now. My body has changed forever. Itâs softer⌠and stronger.â
On her mixed-race family:
âWhat was important for my mother is that we married somebody who still had dreams and aspirationsânot what color or class they were from.â
