Selena looked business casual in a sleek black blazer over a matching top, paired with a tie that was worn fashionably loose.
She teamed the look with high-waisted jeans and a pair of simple black heels, while wearing her dark hair down for her last night out on the town.
Zoe, meanwhile, donned a black v-neck sweater, tucked into her floor-length fossil gray skirt to highlight her enviably slim waist.
With her hair combed into elegant waves, the Pirates Of The Caribbean actress brought out her radiant complexion with naturalistic makeup.
She added a subtle touch of glitter to the look with a glittering necklace and a few rings, while rolling up her sleeves to give it a casual look.
Karla, the first openly trans winner of the Best Actress award at Cannes, opted for a black wrap blouse and flowy silver trousers.
They posed on the red carpet with casting director Carla Hool, who was about to interview them on stage at The Meryl Streep Center For Performing Arts.

“I remember being on set with Meryl Streep and trying to photograph her side so she could go home and have the next day off,” the singer said. Elle.
“Towards the end of the day she said, ‘Wait, no, why don’t we turn around?’ And they said, “Oh, we’ll do that tomorrow.” And she says, ‘No, no, I should come in, I should be here for them.’
The Come And Get It singer was delighted: ‘It was so stylish and showed that she still really enjoyed the profession and that she wanted to be there for us too. I’ll never forget her being barefoot, singing on set and just loving what she did. I want that spirit, I always want to love what I do and be there for people.’
The interview was published on the heels of a raging internet controversy over her longtime boyfriend Benny Blanco.
Social media went into shock when Benny appeared in People magazine’s famous Sexiest Man Alive Issue this year.
Although The Office cover star John Krasinski was a heartthrob, the fact that Benny was there at all was highly polarizing because of his appearance.
In some quarters he was praised for redefining ‘sexy with that humor and style’, while others reacted with dismay.
“Selena paid for this,” joked one observer on thrown for the taking? ?’
