Zoë Saldaña and Kerry Washington stole the spotlight at the 2024 ACLU Foundation of Southern California’s Bill of Rights Awards.

Zoë, 46, put on a sizzling display in a revealing satin top, while Kerry, 47, looked festive in a mini dress decorated with a silky bow.

The actresses were on hand in the shiny outfits to sing the praises of Mark Ruffalo.

The 56-year-old Avengers star was one of the evening’s award recipients ‘for his creative work and environmental activism’ and ‘strong advoca[cy] for justice across various issues including climate change, LGBTQ rights, and racial equality,’ according to the ACLU’s website.

The night’s other honorees were Britney Griner and her wife Cherelle, the Pulitzer Prize–winning writer and USC professor Viet Thanh Nguyen and Will Ferrell and his longtime friend and collaborator Harper Steele.

Other celebrity guests included Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan and the iconoclastic artist Shepard Fairey.

Zoë showed off a winning smile on the red carpet in her striking cream-colored ribbed bustier.

She covered up the low-cut top with a beige satin blouse featuring spaghetti straps and elegantly draped ruched fabric covering her midriff.

She opted for a business casual–style look by contrasting the shimmering top with a set of black slacks, and she added some sparkle to her outfit with slim diamond-encrusted necklaces and crescent-shaped earrings, which she highlighted by swiping her highlighted curls to one side. 

Kerry looked like a present in her lovely cream-colored minidress, which was decorated with an enormous bow covered in spangles and beads.

She toned the rest of her look down with black stockings showcasing her trim legs, and she stood tall in a set of black heels.

Unlike Zoë, she parted her raven hair down the middle and tied it back тιԍнтly for a more subdued look.

Zoë, who has costarred with Mark in multiple Marvel movies, grinned ear to ear as she posed with him and his award on the red carpet.
