While her co-stars Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Rodriguez opt for black dress, the actress who plays Neytiri in the James Cameron's sci-fi brings color to the blue carpet of the London premiere.

"Star Trek" beauty Zoe Saldana has stepped out for the world premiere of her another sci-fi movie, "Avatar". On Thursday night, December 10, the actress who portrays 10-feet tall, blue skinned alien named Neytiri joined many of her co-stars in celebrating the special screening of the highly anticipated movie at Odeon Leicester Square in London.

Walking down the Na'Vi blue carpet which was rolled out to welcome the stars arriving at the premiere, Saldana stood apart from her fellow female co-stars Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Rodriguez. While Weaver and Rodriguez went to the premiere in black, the 31-year-old shimmered in her silver dress.

At the premiere, the Angie Jones of "Vantage Point" talked about her amazement over the amount of detail that went into bringing her character to life. "Every avatar, Na'vi, their skin texture is the texture of the actor that did that character," she gushed as quoted by Empire Online. "I couldn't believe it when I saw my scars and everything, I was like 'Oh my God'!"

In addition to Weaver and Rodriguez, Saldana was also seen posing for the press on the blue carpet with the other cast and crew of "Avatar". Director James Cameron and stars, Sam Worthington, Stephen Lang, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore and Laz Alonso, were only some of them. Meanwhile, singer James Blunt and The Saturdays' members Una Healy and Mollie King were among the guests attending.

A sci-fi movie from 20th Century Fox, "Avatar" centers its story on a wounded ex-marine, who is thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, and eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival. The movie will be released in the U.S. on December 18.
