Zoe Saldaña brought all three of her sons to the world premiere of Elio, which was held at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on Tuesday.
The Oscar winner – turning 47 next week – dressed her 10-year-old twin sons Cy Aridio & Bowie Ezio and eight-year-old son Zen Anton Hilario in matching black blazers over white button-up shirts, blue jeans, and sneakers.
Zoe revealed her children specifically requested that the family spend this summer not far from their $17.5M five-bedroom Montecito mansion affectionately called ‘Casa De Buena Vista’ when they’re not enjoying ‘a lot of camp.’
‘Usually our summers are always spent traveling and traveling around work and traveling in general. This summer, they were very adamant about staying home,’ Saldaña told ET on the blue carpet.
‘And now they’re getting older and they’re not just little briefcases that you can take around with you. They have their own opinions they make their own decisions and they are very much about, “This is what we want. We want soccer. We want music. We want playdates, but we want to be home.” So we’re going to do that.’
Noticeably missing from the family film festivities was the Emilia Pérez actress’ husband of 12 years, Italian artist-filmmaker Marco Perego Saldaña.

The half-Dominican, half-Puerto Rican triple threat – who boasts 16.5M social media followers – shared an Instastory of herself getting glam earlier.
Zoe made her Pixar debut voicing Olga Solis – whose nephew is abducted by aliens – in the animated sci-fi comedy Elio, which hits US/UK theaters June 20.
‘I wanted to be able to be apart of great stories out there that my children can relate to from an early stage,’ Saldaña explained of her motivation.
The Golden Globe winner made sure to pose in a group shot with numerous castmates, two of the three credited directors Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian as well as Pixar execs.
Zoe will next reprise her motion-capture role as Neytiri in James Cameron’s $250M-budget three-quel Avatar: Fire and Ash – hitting US/UK theaters December 19 – alongside Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, and Stephen Lang.
Saldaña will also serve producing duties on Frank E. Flowers’ Caribbean-set swashbuckler action drama The Bluff starring Priyanka Chopra and Karl Urban, which premieres October 10 on Amazon Prime Video.
But the Lioness producer-star is best known for her action star roles in blockbuster franchises Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Star Trek.
