Zoe Saldana__ looked fabulous the other day at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Scientific & Technical Awards in Beverly Hills, California. The Words actress showed up in an elegant and figure-flattering white strapless dress that showed off her amazingly toned arms. But what really caught my eye were her ruby red lips!
