Zoe Saldana, star of Avatar - one of the most talked about films of the year so far - has been honoured by luxury Italian house Max Mara, as 'Face of the Future'. The American actress, who is equally as beautiful in real life as on Pandora, will attend Max Mara's AW10 catwalk show today in Milan as front-row guest of honour.

It will be later on this year that Ms Saldana receives an award at the Women in Film Crystal & Lucy Gala, sponsored by Max Mara, which is to be held in Los Angeles this June.
