Time is of the essence for actress Zoe Saldaña – that much is certainly true. Between starring in Netflix's new romantic drama From Scratch and appearing in three of the five highest-grossing films of all time – yep, you read that right – idle is not a word that enters her vocabulary.

Topping off her look, Zoe upped the glamour levels with some jewels that felt utterly classic. Opting for a pair of simple studs by Vrai and a simple glimmering bangle by Jared Lehr, it was clear that the actress has already nailed the festive glamour agenda– and it's not even December yet…
