Zoe Saldana finds it a “privilege” to be a role model for women.

The ‘Avatar’ actress feels lucky that females look up to her and she wants to show them women can do whatever they want without having to conform to society’s expectations.

She said: “I guess I’m a role model now, and that is a privilege. I think women were fighting because we wanted to be feminine. Then we had to be masculine. Now we just want to be us.”

While she is now a role model for other women, Zoe says she used to look up to her grandmother when she was younger, especially when it came to fashion.

She told Style magazine: “I love fashion. My grandmother and great-grandmother were seamstresses, so I know fashion on an artistic level, not as labels, labels, labels.

“My grandmother, if she wore here, would touch your dress, look at the seam. She was obsessed with buttons. She’d take off my shoes and say, ‘This is good leather, a good investment.’ ”
